Some Canadian websites displayed maps with Lake Ontario renamed as Lake America on Sunday, a day after Google Maps announced the change to align with an executive order by President Trump.

Google said the change would only affect U.S. users, but a number of websites for Ontario and Canadian entities displayed Lake America on maps.

Among them were Hydro One's outage map, the LCBO's store locator, and even the federal government's housing and infrastructure map.

Some of the websites have already said they're working to correct the problem.
