The one with the modified executive seal on it?
It's unfathomable to me that there are no videos on YouTube that show their modified seal for private profit on b ibles and b eer pong sets.
You can make too much of this. Countries regularly have different names for foreign or shared places. The "English Channel" is "La Manche", Cologne is Köln. Like the English language, it's pretty much down to "that's what I call it". If people continue to call it "Lake Ontario" that's what it will be.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Google isn't a branch of the government, they can call the lake whatever they want. It's a decision to comply that quickly and cravenly, presumably because Trump is vindictive, why die on this hill.
> why die on this hill Because when the orange one is gone, people will remember what a supremely supine bastard you were, and now you're no longer protected, will punish you hard.

It's a country's leader petulantly ordering their entire country to call a lake by a new name that wrongly implies it belongs to them, which it doesn't, in order to spite their main trading partner because they rejected a trade deal that would massively harm them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_politically_motivated_...
Going through those, it looks as if only about 50% stuck, mostly from World War II, so here's hoping. I'm not sure if using the name is in any way enforced?
Didn't google do the same to Persian Gulf too? they please whoever's feeding them
Kagi Maps did too.
And if it's showing up as "Lake America" inside of the US on Kagi Maps, it's most likely because of Mapbox, and not Kagi.
