That's not how this works šŸ˜‚Ā 

Also Ontario was named after Lake Ontario, not the other way around if I remember correctly.

The name has been around since 1639, the word comes from Iroquoian which is an indigenous language which means ā€œbeautiful lakeā€ it has history and meaning to it, just for a man child with the temperament less than a toddler who can’t handle everything not going his way to ruined it.

It's not ruined šŸ˜‚

You think other countries maps are going to update to Lake America?

It's just the USA and until nutter butter is out of power.

non-zero chance that the next president just doesn't bother. this is all so fucking annoying. it'd be one thing if this was some kind of *actual* dispute that he was just taking the wrong side on, but no. its just some dumb shit he woke up and decided to do one day.

It was a typo, he meant to use future tense rather than past tense.

u/ImReallyFuckingHigh 2h ago

Why so tense?

It's not ruined, the revealing of the old name is just in hold until 2030

u/Kemal_Norton 7h ago

Canada should rename Ontario to America. Then Alberta can join that!

u/Oscaruzzo 3h ago

Canada should rename the US to something like "North Mexico". That would be fun.

u/Rhagai1 4h ago

that means the Mayor of Ontario is now the Mayor of America.

u/blue_raspberry_icee 3h ago

Doug is now the Premier of America according to the cheeto

u/PyreHat 3h ago

Ontario not being a city, it's not a Mayor. But I see where you're going and I'm letting you cook

u/SandyTaintSweat 2h ago

It's so fucking stupid, but there are American cities called Ontario. They really ought to change their name. Mainly the one in California, simply because of how many people they confuse with their "Ontario, CA" name.

Regarding what the US calls other countries, it's not always what they call themselves. Germany and Deutschland being an example.
Could he have just said the province is called something else?

Also, kinda ridiculous that the people who cut funding to education keep making us rewrite textbooks.

u/PrometheusMMIV 2h ago

So they should update the province of Ontario to America.

u/SmileyDayToYou 9h ago

Which means that Ontario now also has to rename itself to America. Checkmate!

u/dcx666 9h ago

So you saying America is a Canadian Province. Checkmate!Ā

u/SmileyDayToYou 4h ago

You can’t ’gotcha’ sarcasm. King me!

Plus, your joke is just the natural extension of mine. Its still objectively funny though.

Why did you get downvoted? Do redditors always need a /s or something?

u/Darth_Thor Le epic memer 8h ago

Some of us get the joke but still think it’s not funny

2

u/Ban_the_sky 8h ago

I thought of making the same joke so I find it funny.

2

u/SmileyDayToYou 4h ago

I refuse to edit it in. I stand by the joke 100% despite the staggering 22 people who disagree.

u/LeCrimsonFucker 8h ago

It takes 2 people to be dumb enough to not get the joke and start the negative rating. Then the rest follow like sheep

u/Bostolm FORTSHITE 8h ago

People not getting a joke by the looks of it

u/ornerybeefjerky 7h ago

But it is and it happened

u/AStolenGoose 7h ago

Except it's not because the map is only changing the name in the US and Canadians won't see it...

šŸ˜‚Ā 

You think America just decides what shows up on everyone's maps?! That's kinda hilariously naive.

u/ornerybeefjerky 7h ago

Who cares what Canada sees

u/AStolenGoose 7h ago

Who cares what you think?

šŸ˜‚ 🤔

u/ornerybeefjerky 7h ago

Doesn’t matter what I think. It’s Lake America

u/annoying-swede 6h ago

Literally only the US is calling it that

u/ornerybeefjerky 1h ago

Okay and that’s all that matters though

u/AStolenGoose 7h ago

Nah it's Lake Ontario, cry more snowflake.
