Renaming Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' by U.S. tech companies reflects a geopolitical strategy to assert national identity and influence over Canadian territory.

I see Google and Apple are propping up Trump again, this time by renaming Lake Ontario in their map apps. Mapquest continues to call the lake by its proper name.

Google Maps kissed the ring again. tRump signs paper renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” to poke Canada & they flip it for US users in days. Half that lake is Canadian! The name is older than this country. MapQuest said no. Apple still hasn’t caved.
