> Donald Trump has signed an executive order seeking to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America and has asked Apple to reflect the change in its Maps platform, according to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. Google has made the change for US users, while Canadian users still see Lake Ontario. MapQuest says it will not rename the lake, and Canadian officials have pushed back.
