    The change reflects Google’s policy of adhering to official government names for geographical locations.

      If Justin Trudeau gets active on this, you can probably get it to Gulf of Canada (Gulf of Mexico) (Gulf of America).

      From the Wikipedia for Gulf of Mexico:

      While the Interior Department confirmed that the Gulf of America name was effective for U.S. federal agencies, on January 24, the change does not apply in an international context.
