Google removing 'state' designation from Canadian government buildings. No word from Microsoft

CBC News
By Andrew Kurjata
Feb 28, 2025


A listing for Parliament House in B.C. as a state government office, as spied by a CBC News reader on Feb. 24. By Feb. 27, the listing had been updated to simply government office. (Google)

Google says it is in the process of removing the "state" designation from Canadian government buildings, as well as provincial parks, following widespread backlash.

On Monday, the company said it would be updating its categorization of provincial parks after receiving hundreds of complaints over the weekend from Canadians upset about the designation.

Although the locations were titled "provincial park" in large text, in small print, many across the country were labelled as "state parks" — a longstanding practice, according to the company.

However, that language came under increased scrutiny in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated threat that he wants to annex Canada against the wishes of Canada's political leaders and widespread public opinion.
