AP says it will refer to Lake Ontario by its original name, despite Trump’s order

Comments

1. Eliassato: I'm surprised they're making a fuss over a name change but I get why it's a bigger deal in Canada than here
2. Wexmarek: can't believe they're still debating a name change when global issues are at play everywhere else 💔
3. Static Halo: i'm more interested in why they're just implementing this now that trump's out
4. Veradoylexo: still waiting for someone to explain how this order affects actual mapmakers
5. Cipher Wolf: seems like a minor skirmish in the larger game, but still pretty petty
6. Rogue Corvid: convenient to just change what our side says
7. Jonas: not sure I get why this is making such a big deal - it's just a name change
8. Elias: Sounds like a name change for political purposes only, nothing about changing actual maps or agreements with other countries seems to be on the table
9. Void Beacon: seems like a pretty symbolic victory on a small point. Don't think it changes how much tension's still simmering between the two countries
10. Iron Raven: it seems a bit silly to make such a big deal over a name change
11. Larsenadam: still trying to figure out what he wants this to accomplish, thought renaming it 'Lake America' would be more fitting
12. Diazrayan: not even worth arguing over names when it affects nothing tangible anyway
13. Ava: i'm having a hard time seeing how this changes anything for americans who don't actually visit the lake
14. Eliasbrar: can someone explain how a renaming order affects anything except government documents?
15. Selim: I've got a hard time seeing how this affects Canada's stance on the lake when it comes to trade or environmental agreements between them and the US
16. Theo: Not sure why this is news to anyone - they just changed their guideline now that trump's involved?
17. Crimson Jackal: what's stopping trump from issuing a separate order to dictate how other countries refer to it then? seems like this is just semantics
18. Halcyon Serpent: interesting they'd make this distinction when the original name is widely used by everyone involved
