- Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ontario, and AI are still called Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ontario, and AI by the whole world so the executive orders to rename are really a waste of American taxpayers money.@alynnkolstar.bsky.socialSep 30, 5:52 AM ETOriginal
- When U.S. President Donald Trump renamed Lake Ontario to Lake America in late August, the chief executive of Peace by Chocolate felt he couldn’t ignore the antagonism.@ctvnews.bsky.socialSep 30, 5:45 AM ETOriginal
- You know you're on shaky ground when your desire to inflict damage cancels out your ability to recognize consequences. Maggots' approach is simply to rename shaky ground as firm! Kinda like calling Ontario "Lake America"@jmw-512.bsky.socialSep 30, 4:27 AM ETOriginal
- Should extend to all who sucked up and profited from their base sycophancy - Bezos, Zuck, Pichai (Lake America FFS), and many, many more.@martinstarkie.bsky.socialSep 30, 4:15 AM 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.
