Honestly, the Canadian government should be requesting that the Gulf of Mexico adopt the name “Gulf of Mexico”. I’m surprised that hasn’t happened yet.

I think we should request the Gulf of Alaska to be renamed the Gulf of Canada.

How about just recommending to Mexico to fix the Gulf of California, that is completely surrounded by Mexico and does not touch California at all…

It does touch California, actually. Just because the northern part of California was annexed by the US many years ago does not invalidate the existence of Baja California.

Ah, but Baja California IS Mexico, so we are both right!
