| I was literally swimming in Lake Ontario when I learned it was now Lake America.
Nice capitulation, Google. |

| This is the one I find most hilarious, as Ontario was named after the lake, not the other way around. So the temper tantrum reaction in trying to spite Canada wholly misses the mark. |

| Looking at my Google Maps right now I see: Lake Ontario
(Lake America) does it mean that the complete name change has been introduced only locally, in US? |
