In Canada, Montreal's Dorval is now called Pierre Elliott Trudeau International. Where, exactly, is Pierre Elliot Trudeau?

Ottawa, Uplands, is now called McDonald-Cartier International. Given the English-French appellation you would think the airport is located on the Ontario-Quebec border, but no, it is some distance from Quebec.

Halifax airport, located 14 miles NNE of the city of Halifax, is called Stanfield International. Most Canadians think Stanfield is a brand of underwear, not a dead Conservative Party Leader. Halifax should be called Halifax/Waverley.

And don't get me started on Frobisher Bay, Northwest Territories, now called Iqaluit, Nunavut.
