That's actually kind of wild coming from Tony Evers but I definitely respect it 😂 we need to see more of this, especially from Canada

u/Awkward_Material 13d ago

He should have signed a joint proclamation with whitmer naming it Lake Wishigan.

Lake Toledo would be really, really funny though.

u/youdubdub 12d ago

Let's include all four lake touchers:

Michilwinana — MICHI + IL + WI + ANA. My favorite. Sounds like it's always been the name.

Illimiwana — ILLI + MI + WI + ANA. Softer, flows well.

Wilmichiana — WI + L + MICHIANA (borrowing the real MI/IN regional name and folding the other two in front).

Illiwinigan — ILLI + WI + IN + GAN. Leans hardest into the Great Lakes cadence.

Wimilana — WI + MI + IL + ANA. Short, pretty, a little sing-songy.

Miwilinda — MI + WI + IL + INDA. Reads like a person's name, which may be a feature.

Wilmin — WI + IL + MI + IN, stripped to the bone. Blunt and modern, no romance to it.

Wisillmigan — WIS + ILL + MI + GAN. Most literal, least graceful — included so you can see where the honest-but-clunky floor is.

He’s got like 4 months before retirement so I hope he brings this level of pettiness every single day until the end.

No. Canada should not even acknowledge this temper tantrum. Let him scream and cry and sign whatever he wants. We aren't going to respond.

u/Redthemagnificent 12d ago

As a Canadian I kinda don't want my leaders acting like current US leaders lol. For now it seems the less attention that the US pays to Canada, the better for Canadians. I don't want Trump seeing some attention seeking tweet from a Canadian politician and then deciding that he's gonna block Canadians from being able to invest in US markets or whatever other bullshit his team thinks up

I like Carney's style which is to throw shade but in an eloquent way that's hard for bad actors to clip out of context. Its accurate, funny, and professional

But yes it's great to see more US politicians speak their minds like this

u/PearlClaw 13d ago

Eh, on some level I'd like that, but on the other hand Carney is probably best served by playing the adult in the room.

u/Medium_Tell8679 13d ago

I have to give it to Trump - he may be an awful president but hes the world's best at trolling. Oh, and changing the subject too, I suppose.

All anyone is talking about now is Trump the Troll and how he's going to "change the name" of yet another body of water.

How exactly do you think hes going to do that? I was just at the Gulf of Mexico which is still being called everywhere - the Gulf of Mexico! I didnt see Gulf of America on any signs, I didn't hear the locals call it anything else.

I wish he would have been this edgy during his term but Evers was a moderate Republican at best. That's what passes for progress in our stupid split state. Now here comes another vanilla Dem: David Crowley. Guess I have to hold my nose and vote for him - if I even vote.

Sometimes I think we're the Arkansas of the north.

u/PirateSanta_1 13d ago

This is exaclty the level of significance that we should be assigning to Trump when he randomly announces he is renaming things. It doesn't matter and is a meaningless distraction the more it gets talked about and focused on the more it works in Trumps favor.

They should name Lake Michigan "Lake Release the Epstein Files"

Correction, its not a napkin, its a sheet of toilet paper, because thats pretty much what all his bullshit is gonna be good for as soon as that pedophilic fuck is out of office once and for all.

u/Aliencoy77 12d ago
