Also, they are following the law they have to follow.

Huh, I must have missed the news that Google had become a federal government department.

So why did Google then show Lake Ontario before instead of for ex. Lake Google? Can't they then just write like... whatever they want?

But yes, I was wrong. They simply have an internal policy to follow the federal data. So, in a way, they don't need to be but they will follow what they decide.
