- Happy Music Monday! Lake America? I mean, Lake Ontario! Bryan Adams is back with a brilliant new song, a healthy dose of Canadian humour and a rather pointed message for Donald Trump. I love it when music has something to say! youtu.be/VQFYuM2N1Bc #MusicSky #BryanAdams@nep-dk.bsky.socialNov 2, 5:59 AM ETOriginal
- trump can change it to 'gulf of mexico' bcos nobody owns it. so you could literally name it 'gulf of alternia'. Infact vote for me in the next 30 years so i can do that, and rename 'lake ontario' to 'fake ontario' because im lowk evil.@99900238999alexa.bsky.socialNov 2, 3:21 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.
