Daily briefing
Lake America update for October 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), so this is not a complete picture.

- If the president says it that's it. AI is now SI. The Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America. Lake Ontario is now Lake America. Anyone who says otherwise is a traitor. That grown ass adults go along with this inanity is mind boggling. Jensen Huang, Google and Apple have a lot to answer for.@toodangold4this.bsky.socialOct 13, 3:43 AM ETOriginal
- Article: President Trump…suggested renaming the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean. “…call it Trump Ocean or Ocean of the Americans. Something like that…We have to.

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.
