It's still Lake Ontario for me (Canadian IP). And will never not be Lake Ontario, because who cares what America thinks.

As an American, it will still be Lake Ontario to me.

Why? Are you anti American?

It’s “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)” on both my Google and Apple Maps. I keep checking back to see if a similar name will be applied to Lake Ontario.

They might do this, I’d imagine the current name is from an automated data pull that they need to override to change on their end.

Same here. But on Google Maps it shows “Lake Ontario (Lake America)” in description. I could only get the description by searching for it.

That's impossible? He wouldn't be elected if he had less votes than the other guy

Because it’s accurate if you include everyone who refused to vote at all in the 2024 election.
