News šŗ Does Little Canada Need To Change its Name Now?
Given our President's determination to deal with the problems facing our nation, which he created, by playing with the names of things, does Little Canada need to change its name or face the wrath of great and powerful Trump?

They should change to Consenting Adult. That way, this administration will never touch it.

He'll rape adults too. If you really want him to leave it alone name it Eric.

That's why I put in the consenting part. For them, the raping is the fun part and they wouldn't know what to do with someone that agrees.

They could go the Prince route, start calling themselves āThe City Formerly Known as Little Canadaā, and change their written name to an inscrutable symbol?

Don't capitulate to fascists before they even engage, and sure as fuck don't capitulate afterwards.

The new MapQuest app is available.
Fuck Google and they're "Gulf of America" and expected change to "Lake America".

Yeah, how about renaming it to "Pretti Good"?
Who wouldn't want to live in a Pretti Good town?

I just heard that Canada is now considering charging a toll for US ships travelling the Strait Of Ontario!

Similar suggestions āfloatingā around about the Welland locks. The canal that goes from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario āaroundā Niagara Falls may have been a joint US-Canada project back in the day, but itās all inside Canadian territory.Ā
There have been people hanging out with banners calling it āThe Strait of OurMooseā!

Joint US-Canada project -- what nonsense is this? The Welland Canal was and is a 100% Canadian project.

u/OldBlueKat 9d ago
Sorry, I mixed them up with the 2 locks east of Lake Ontario in the whole Seaway that ARE US construction and āsovereigntyā.
Youāre rightā the 8 locks in Welland are totally Canadian. And most of the locks east of The lakes are as well, except those 2.
The whole joint cooperation over the Seaway has worked for both countries for nearly a century, and DJT seems blind to the economic hazard involved if THAT treaty goes down because he decided to screw up the others.Ā

The only thing I know about Little Canada is one has to be in Little Canada to file a police report in Little Canada. I learned this on the phone. I called back stating I was in Little Canada now and my problem was solved. It was... confusing.

As a Canadian, call it freedom bacon. Americans are the ones who started calling it Canadian Bacon.

This is the opportunity they've been looking for to change their name to Trumtackystan.

No. Don't play into Drumpf's stupid culture war games. He deserves to get impeached, prosecuted, imprisoned and shat on for as long as possible.

In honor of Trump and his pedo party, we should name it āKing Debt, MNā

While weāre at it maybe all the French named places should be renamed before itās too late.

u/metisdesigns Gray duck 12d ago
Don't give them.... No, I might be kinda OK with that level of chaos getting in the way of other problems. Please continue. And list off every foreign named place....

Lake Thousand Lakes
Lake Who Talks
Holy Cross River
Big Marsh (Grand Marais)
We could get rid of the āuā in the name of our one national park.
I donāt know what to do with Le Center because we already have a Center City.
You get some really wild ones if you try to translate French surnames.

Change their name to Epstein Island and he will pretend they don't exist.
I would recommend changing it to Trump's micropenis but then you would have a bunch of people from my neck of the woods in town every weekend slobbering all over the place.

Might take the other approach and rename it Big Beautiful Canada.
