Lake Ontario naming controversy

Rare card · No. 21233

Lake Ontario became the center of a geographical naming dispute when U.S. president Donald Trump issued an executive order directing U.S. federal agencies to refer to it as "Lake America". Issued on August 27, 2026, the executive order requires the U.S. executive branch to use this nomenclature when referring to the lake, and some major online consumer mapping providers have voluntarily made the change for users in the U.S. The order received widespread backlash from both U.S. and Canadian government officials.
