I told you I was skipping this week, but I lied. A little.
It was a sibling family vacation, see, and my oldest brother showed up with a bag of matching t-shirts. Before handing them out, he made a little speech, warning us that they might be political—or also might not be.
Except for his, every shirt was printed with some version of:
Lake Ontario
Established 1656
His said:
Undiagnosed. But something ain’t right.
Gosh, I feel fortunate to have the family I have.
Folks, get loud if you’re so moved. Or wear t-shirts that make people think. We could use more of both these days.
We approve this message.
See you next week!

Yes!!! I just checked and for the first time, I see that Google Maps has changed what Australians see as well! It says 'Lake Ontario (Lake America)' !!!!!
So I have lodged this Issue Report:
'I'm in Australia and was just checking out a map to see where a friend is and I saw this!
This body of water is Lake Ontario and has been since 1656.
No single person has a right to change somebody else's property name. Or perhaps we do!!! If so, please change the United States of America to 'USA (South Canada)'.
Yours respectfully.'
This Canadian woman loves it!
