Does it though? It’s showing the new name in every country except Canada. They could have limited this rename to USA only, but they didn’t.
I live in Germany. It shows as Lake Ontario here.
What makes you think that? It says Lake Ontario here in the UK.
What makes me think that is the article being discussed. It says “Lake America” will be shown everywhere (though parenthetically) everywhere except Canada.
