A body of water that has carried an Indigenous name for centuries now bears a different label on American screens, renamed by presidential decree and dutifully reflected by Google Maps for US users while Canada sees no change. The renaming of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' is less a geographical act than a symbolic one — a cartographic extension of the 'America First' doctrine arriving at a moment when US-Canada trade relations are fraying under the weight of escalating tariffs. As maps have always done, they reveal not just terrain but the political imagination of those who draw them.
