People using the application will see the new name in U.S., but will see Lake Ontario in Canada. Outside of North America, users will see both names for the lake.
He didn’t follow any official legal process. He basically just released a proclamation, just like a King would do. He’s getting away with it because the other branches of government let him.
The President, as the leader of the Executive Branch, has wide latitude over what Federal Agencies do. It’s possible (but not a 100% certainty) that his Executive Order might bind Federal Agencies under his control, but certainly not the rest of us – not without legislation that goes through the normal process. It certainly doesn’t compel Google to do it. Now, Google may want to do it because they understand it can build political capital with such a small man, but that’s a different issue.
He’s done this before too. It’s still officially the “Department of Defense”, no matter how many times he calls it the “Department of War”, until Congress sends him a bill stating otherwise. Same with the Kennedy Center. He is doing shit like this, with no legal basis, on purpose, to find out who is “loyal” to him.
I mean, you can only enforce it in your own jurisdiction, right?
Your country can decide to call Sweden Poop-land, your own localized maps will label it Poop-land, but on swedish maps it will still be called Sverige.
It’s shared between the US and Canada, it could just as well be named Lake New York.
From Wikipedia:
Ontario is likely derived from the Iroquoian word Kaniatarí:io or Oniatarí:io meaning “lake of shining waters” or “beautiful lake”.
So it’s a better name for sure, at least keeping the memory of the natives colonized and cleansed by the French to make Canada… But it’s not like naming a lake in memory of people you erased erases the crimes…
This is such a stupid thing to spend any energy being upset over, just roll your eyes and call it wherever you want.
The empire is collapsing (thank fuck) and its citizens are upset about the name of a lake instead of revolting because they’re ruled by an ultra rich pedophile class.
I genuinely don’t understand this comment… How am I an asskisser for pointing out the pedo Nazis are trying to distract you with trivial shit like the name of a lake?
Yes, please refer to the US as pedonazi land, and Israel pedonazi haven, I fully endorse that! Call them what they are, I always do.
It doesn’t matter what the pedonazis say, no one seriously calls the gulf of Mexico by any other name… You need to redirect your anger at what matters, your taxes are used to commit genocides and enrich Nazi pedophiles, don’t waste your anger on a stupid distraction like this one.
Edit: oh, you’re just calling me a name to make me upset at calling me a name, I thought you actually had a point. Lol you can call me little fucker who licks his mom’s dirty asshole for all I care… I’m not gonna be upset at such trivial nonsense.
I wouldn’t call this an instance of that. Trump as far as I understand stupidly but legally changed the name.

So you understand nothing then
How can renaming another nations stuff be legal?

It isn’t…

Well I legally rename the US pedonazis land. And you will be little-asslicker-1.
