I get that the renaming of the lake from the US perspective is annoying. Yet, it remains whatever Canada wants to call it on their side.
Geographical place-names get renamed all the time. It’s not extraordinary. You can search for recently renamed place names in Canada. There are quite a few. Canadians don’t get upset over it. Even in the US there is a constant renaming of places, roads, parks and schools. No one gets mad that mapping services update them promptly or that places get renamed…
- wrs 1mo agoAny examples of the previous time a major feature was renamed purely by executive order and justified only by a trade dispute?
- mrhottakes 1mo agoYou're looking at people upset about Lake Ontario being renamed and saying "people don't get upset about things being renamed." Different things are different.
- mc32 1mo agoOther than Lake Ontario… Seems inconsistent for them to complain about what we call our side of the lake but then go on like nothing when they (and we as well) rename things just about every day of the week/year)
- mrhottakes 1mo agoI'm glad you are recognizing that different things are different.
