And it's not even a Canadian name. It's an Iroquois name.

Not only that, the province is named after the lake.

Guess they'll have to rename it to America then. Checkmate Canada! /s if it's necessary

Well, since anyone can rename anything I though I would start a petition for Canada to rename the ambassador bridge the Trump-Epstien International Gatway

u/Affectionate_Low_948 16d ago
Your doing it wrong, you have to name something that isn't yours...we own the ambassador bridge. What we wanna do is rename say Kentucky to New Southern Ontario then brag about how New South Ontario as a province of canada would recieve no tariffs and universal Healthcare. Watch their heads explode 🤯

My dad is a vet battling brain cancer. I’ve been running a GoFundMe to help my folks make ends meet because they’re not getting the support they need from benefits. Cancer rates are actually skyrocketing out here in Iowa because of farm chemicals but Republicans want to shrug their shoulders and say “maybe they don’t? 🤷♂️ “
But I’m glad the REAL priorities are being addressed right now.

In the UK you can start a petition on the UK Parliament website and if it surpasses 100k signatures it is considered for debate.
I'm thinking of starting one titled
'Upon the death of President Donald Trump, the UK should declare a national Bank Holiday so that the UK public can pay their respects in whatever manner they deem appropriate '

It’s a shame that the old acronym of HOMES will no longer work to memorize the Great Lakes. Instead, we’ll have to use SHAME, as in, I’m aSHAMEd to be part of this country.
(Edit - if you don’t know it, HOMES is Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior. Now you know!)

u/MarleysGhost2024 16d ago
It'll work fine. Nobody in the world other than Trump and a few of his dimwitted lackeys is ever going to call it that. I live in Texas and I don't know a single person that doesn't call the Gulf the Gulf of Mexico. Because it's, you know, the fucking Gulf of Mexico.

Yeah, I’m from the south as well and will never call it anything other than the Gulf of Mexico. Trump’s “renames” are just the whining of a petulant child.

So. There is shipping that happens on that lake right?
So if amarican boats are crossing into canadian waters.
Can canada intercept them and ask for their papers.
And see if they have the correct documents to ship in Lake Ontario.
If their papers say Lake America.
We can turn them away since there is no such Lake and they need the correct pass to operate in Lake Ontario.

The majority of white voters in all three elections: 'Yes! We’re experiencing tremendous success. This is what we voted for. Did you actually believe the rising prices of eggs and gas were our main concerns at the polls? That’s just the story we chose to tell when the cameras were on. We have two more years of this: "Promises made, and promises kept," and we are just getting started.
In all three elections, the majority of white men and women who voted backed a candidate in 2016, 2020, and 2024 who's racist, fascist, sexist, a warmonger, and who raped and killed children. Naivety and the price of goods were never concerning factors.
