Lake Ontario Now Called Lake of America on US Google Maps

SAPO31 August 2026 at 02:18

Lake Ontario has been renamed Lake of America on Google Maps for users in the United States. This change was implemented after Donald Trump unilaterally decided to change the name of this border area between the United States and Canada.

The White House publicly congratulated the renaming, demonstrating support for the controversial decision made by the American president.

The change affects only American users of the Google Maps platform, with the original designation remaining for users in other countries, including Canada. This situation highlights the diplomatic tensions related to the border between the two neighboring countries.

Lobbyist friend of Lulinha has series of debts in court for defaults, report says

Lobbyist Roberta Luchsinger, friend of Fabio Luis Lula da Silva, known as Lulinha, President Lula's son, has a series of debts in court for defaults, as revealed by Fantástico. She is the target of an investigation that examines whether she practiced influence peddling in public agencies together with Lulinha, who denies any wrongdoing. The Federal Police indicate that the two would have done lobbying to enable business deals, including a contract of 626 million reais with a company linked to Antonio Carlos Camilo Antunes, known as Careca do INSS. Roberta became known in 2017 when she announced a financial support movement for Lula, who at that time was a former president and had his accounts blocked by then Judge Sergio Moro.

Does Luís Miguel Sousa Govern Madeira?

An opinion article questions Luís Miguel Sousa's influence in Madeira, accusing him of maintaining a monopoly on ports that drives up the cost of all products in the region. The text details how extremely high freight rates, price coordination in supermarkets, and the country's highest inflation in cost of living and housing result from this control. It also mentions the removal of competitors like Naviera Armas and the difficulties faced by LIDL. It also denounces that Grupo Sousa controls fuels, energy, distribution, waste collection, and owns the Diário de Notícias, compromising journalistic scrutiny. The author criticizes the inaction of the Competition Authority and the Regional Government, which subsidizes "territorial continuity" instead of demanding transparency and port opening, concluding that insularity is a lucrative business paid for by residents.

Legitimacy at the ballot box is not a blank check

An opinion article criticizes the President of the Regional Government of Madeira, Miguel Albuquerque, allegedly confusing political mandate with private ownership. The text reports that Sara Albuquerque, the president's daughter, was paid by Atalaia Living Care, a social welfare institution (IPSS) that signed a public contract worth over 17 million euros with the regional government. The association tried to silence those who revealed these relationships through courts, but lost. The article questions how many other public contracts may have been signed with similar criteria and reminds that the electoral mandate does not constitute a "blank check" to manage public funds for the benefit of private interests.
