Daily briefing
Lake America update for September 13: No new Lake America naming development this morning
Today's monitored sources did not surface a new Lake America naming development as of this morning's check. 9 sources were checked: publisher news feeds, public Bluesky and Mastodon posts, and the primary pages cited by the adoption tracker. The standing position is unchanged — U.S. federal records say Lake America, Canada says Lake Ontario. Some sources did not answer this morning (gn-rename, gn-reaction, gn-maps, gn-federal, gn-legal, gn-canada, gn-local, bluesky), so this is not a complete picture.

- "Buy Canadian" movements started last year after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods. They have intensified in recent weeks after trade talks broke down and Trump signed an executive order to change the name of to Lake America.@rosesbloom24.bsky.socialSep 12, 3:54 PM ETOriginal
- Additional ❤️ for the shirt. I will never refer to it as “lake America”.@ohchristwhatnow.bsky.socialSep 12, 3:03 PM ETOriginal
- Google, Apple…they did switch over those maps [from Lake Ontario to Lake America] quickly. And it’s insane to watch not just companies, but CEOs—bow so quickly. It’s a wild thing to watch. Apple. Google. And then, out of nowhere, MapQuest was like: No! Someone has to bring sanity back to maps!“@kindnessgal.bsky.socialSep 12, 3:03 PM ETOriginal
- Trump used executive order to rename Lake Ontario to Lake of America, then sold "Lake of America" hats on his online store for $55. That's just one of the latest in a long long long list of examples of how Trump blatantly uses his office to get richer. Nothing you can dream up will ever compare.@d1puck1t.bsky.socialSep 12, 2:51 PM ETOriginal
The standing context
Since Aug. 27, 2026, U.S. federal naming systems use “Lake America” for the lake long recorded as Lake Ontario. Canada has not adopted the change, so which name you see on a map depends on where you are. Background: what Lake America is, who calls it what right now and every dated update.
