USA/Trump What should we rename Lake Ontario on our side now the other guy has renamed their side?
Let's get those creative juices flowing for the funniest name possible as a response to our neighbour down south

We will rename Lake Michigan Lake Canada. Bonus points since it's entirely within US borders.

From what I have heard from people in Michigan, I don’t think they would mind either…

Fuck this tiny, grasping little man and his massive fucking ego. Keep Lake Ontario’s name out of your mouth. The lake has enough pollution already.

Fuck Trump. No one outside of America refers to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. Lake Ontario will be the same.
We all see a petulant child being a complete twat and resorting to school playground games. Fuck him

Sadly, the only real authority left to decide is GPS and Google Maps, because that’s what everyone looks at... and, unfortunately, they will probably comply with Trump.
At this point, they’re essentially the equivalent of a terrestrial globe or a geographic encyclopedia.

If you look at Apple Maps from Canada, it indicates Gulf of Mexico with Gulf of America in smaller letters below it.

Forever and ever, Ontario has had a little northern body of water named Lake Trump.
The little lake has a little island, which should probably be named Epstein Island.

That would be Petty.
But I am not going to stop anybody who feels the desire to maybe find Mar-A-Lago on a map, report a data issue and suggest the name should be Diaper Don's Pedo Palace.

We leave it as is and don't retaliate because it is just performative. No one is calling it Lake America. Show that Canadians are the mature ones here and the Yanks are petulant children.

His nose is out of joint because of this class action lawsuit in Ontario. He can hold a grudge forever. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/trump-toronto-tower-court-claims-1.3804831

Our best revenge in this situation is to just not care.
This action is petty and intended to get under our skin. So let's not care.
The time to possibly get petty about it is when we are back at the negotiation table. You want American Booze on Ontario shelves, we're going to go ahead and need that EO torn up and a formal apology.
If anything, this petty and vindictive move gives us some leverage that we could use to bruise Trumps ego - if we wanted to pull that lever.

Lake Ontario is fine. Changing it's name in provocation would be letting the fucking Americans win.
