We have quite a lot of geology.
Just label the US as South/Lesser Canada.
The Gulf of Lesser Canada does have a certain ring to it...
from "Not Evil" to "Prime Evil" in just a couple decades.
decades
Years
They've ramped it up in recent years, sure, but I think they been dormantly evil since they came on the scene and we just didn't realize it until the hooks were in deep.
Perfect strategy for this kinda thing, and now they can just be brazen about it. Kinda like a certain red party in a certain shithole country.
If people are wondering why Google is simping to Trump, they have been convicted of being a monopoly and the antitrust action is now in the penalty phase.
The action started under Trump I, was vigorously pursued by Biden's Lena Kahn and the conviction secured. Now all that's left is to decide the penalty, which could range from a strongly written letter to a breakup of the company.
It is really to bad Canada is not going after them yet.
I'm getting Microsoft, Clinton & Bush vibes here...
They're done this globally apparently. They just got rid of the provincial park option and defaults all government operated nature reserves, of any government, as "state parks".
Seems very shortsighted and with a disregard for other countries. Extremely confusing move by google.
For me, using English (GB) as localization, they appear as national parks. Maybe it's the term they use for English (US) set phones π€ Im located in Finland as well so.
Even the ones in US show up as national for me. Also checked the gulf of mexico, it's still that for me.
That would make sense if we used English (US), but we use English (CA). Just a brief check of the parks in my area shows all the national parks are labeled "National Park", the provincial parks are almost all "State Park[s]" with the occasional "Park", and the regional parks have no consistent or logical pattern but I counted at least 5 different park labels.
yea, 'state park', as in 'operated by the state'
I can see why they did this, but its really stupid, especially at a time like this. i've reported half a dozen parks.
The problem is that for us there is a big difference between municipally run, province-run, and federally run parks. We also have private parks, privately owned but publically accessible parks, and of course, amusement parks.
But "the state" at issue here would be Canada. A provincial park isn't a state park since we have national parks too and they're separate entities.
There was no reason to do this other than stay out of Trumps retaliation zone. It is wrong to say operated by the state when it is operated by the province.
Every canadian should switch to Organic Maps for national security purposes.
Does that matter if your os is still Android (like most people are)?
It will prompt you to use Google's Maps or any other map program you have installed when you clock on an address. You may have to reset the default program for map links if you had more than one option and chose Google Maps as the option in the past, though.
Feels like we're being politically raped, and it's really pissing me off.
Yeah, they elected a rapist so...
Ikr?! How do you even begin to make sense of that?! You can't! And now, here the rest of us are being forced to deal with it. Makes me wanna scream.
Please do: loudly and at the local US consulate of possible. If not, if there is a town hall, they need to hear your complaint.

Cracking and Packing. Learn and save yourselves, if you can.
Grab 'em by the parks!
Canada really needs to develop its technology to get off of oppressive American tech. We need to work with other countries and develop our own tech to combat this. Absolutely insulting. Just a little βoopsieβ after over a decade of not having mislabelled parks? The stink is showing.
Open source options exist. We just need more people using OpenStreetMaps and shit.
They show up as provincial parks for me?
Some of them are listed as state when you bring up their card.
I mean I knew Americans weren't great at geography, I didn't realize it was this bad.
