Could Lake Erie get a new name? Republican Representative David Maloney of Pennsylvania is preparing a resolution to rename Lake Erie “Lake Pennsylvania.”
His argument is that Lake Erie is the only Great Lake that borders Pennsylvania, and the state should more strongly claim the geographic symbol.
The proposal comes just two weeks after Donald Trump announced plans to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America,” turning the naming of the Great Lakes into an increasingly political issue.
With Washington and Ottawa already locked in a tense trade dispute, geographic names and national symbols are now becoming another potential point of political confrontation.
Is this simply a publicity stunt, or a real identity battle with Canada? Tell us what you think.
