A proposal to rename Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' has been floated. The lake is a shared international waterway, similar to the Gulf of Mexico. Multiple agencies, including international, federal, and regional ones, are involved in its oversight.

This setup suggests that any changes to the lake's name would need to be considered in a broader context. The fact that Lake Ontario is shared with another country adds complexity to the proposal. Further details about the proposal and the potential implications are available from the source.

The idea has been met with a denial of a claim that it would interfere with the language rights of Canadians who speak French.
