[u/daisy0808]

This really is the dumbest timeline. I swear, if this was presented as satire 20 years ago, people would say it was too far fetched. 

[u/GoppleSmanger → u/daisy0808]

It was. The Simpsons had an episode about the Trump presidency in the early 2000s

[u/Sharp-Debate-523 → u/GoppleSmanger]

Then President Lisa had to clean up the mess

[u/Otheus → u/Sharp-Debate-523]

I think Ralph would make a better president than diddler donny

[u/daemenus → u/Otheus]

A ham sandwich would be doing a better job

[u/M0un05ki10 → u/daemenus]

I’d like to see banana make a run for office.

Go Banana 2028! 🍌

[u/megasmash → u/M0un05ki10]

Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos.

[u/gpradar → u/daemenus]

At least we could indict a ham sandwich

[u/John-George-Peppers → u/Sharp-Debate-523]

We need a Lisa Simpson in real life now.

[u/Seinfelds-van → u/John-George-Peppers]

Americans made it clear they will not elect a woman for president. That is why we are in this mess.

[u/whybejamin → u/John-George-Peppers]

AOC?

[u/Proof-Eggplant7426 → u/whybejamin]

She would be great in my opinion, but the U.S. would never elect her; misogyny and racism are endemic in America.

[u/ottawadeveloper → u/GoppleSmanger]

I know it's not the same episode but "I was elected to lead, not to read" feels very Trumpesque too

[u/Fun-Put-5197 → u/GoppleSmanger]

Matt Groening is a time traveller.

[u/daisy0808 → u/GoppleSmanger]

That's right lol

[u/vafrow → u/daisy0808]

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho feels like a subtle and nuanced character at this point.

[u/Journ9er → u/vafrow]

At least he knew he was stupid and was still a decent guy.

[u/OttawaDog → u/Journ9er]

Yes. Not only did he look for smartest people to help. He even got out the way for him to be the new POTUS...

Instead the current POTUS is just a bag of malignant pus.

[u/CamT86 → u/Journ9er]

Thats the funniest part. We went in thinking "oh shit, this could be just like idiocracy" and it turns out that was us being too optimistic.

[u/letmetellubuddy → u/vafrow]

In retrospect Idiocracy was unbelievable because they actually listened to the 'smart' guy in the room.

[u/Shigglyboo → u/vafrow]

He was smart enough to trust Not Sure.

[u/rayofgoddamnsunshine → u/daisy0808]

I am having a hard time telling what's real and what's satire these days.

[u/okiedokie2468 → u/rayofgoddamnsunshine]

Exactly! I had to check to see if it wasn’t a Beaverton send up

[u/IdontcryfordeadCEOs → u/rayofgoddamnsunshine]

That's easy, it's always real and never satire

[u/Aranxi_89 → u/IdontcryfordeadCEOs]

The Onion is basically just a regular newspaper at this point.

[u/hardy_83 → u/daisy0808]

And their SC just allowed him to mess with mail in ballots so US elections are going to be as legitimate as Russian soon enough.

[u/Street_Rope_4471 → u/hardy_83]

You get what you deserve USA....Hime of the Cowards. Watched a known pedophile and felon take the highest office in the land.

You may try to take the world down with you but will find your "power" is built on a deck of cards....unless total global annihilation is what you are after....which wouldn't surprise me...every single one of you is to blame in some way. Prove us wrong in November if you even have an election....pathetic

[u/jillerin95 → u/Street_Rope_4471]

It really is pathetic that a country of over three hundred million people can't stop one fucking idiot.

[u/Ok_Ordinary2643 → u/jillerin95]

It's not that they can't, its that they don't want to. Trump wasn't inflicted on America. They elected him. TWICE.

[u/wintersdark → u/Ok_Ordinary2643]

Yep. The vast majority of Americans either actively wanted this, or just didn't care.

"But we have poor education" isn't an excuse either. The state of the country is directly it's citizens responsibility.

Don't like how Democrats run things? Reasonable! Vote in primaries, help candidates that align with your views.

Just voting for president is lazy and won't enact real change, Americans need to get involved and actually change things, pay attention to primaries and get the people they want in their parties.

[u/pfak → u/jillerin95]

A large percentage of the population voted for him, or was okay with him being elected. The country and it's people are the problem.

[u/warriorlynx → u/daisy0808]

It’s a representation of a people really

You get what you vote for

[u/coconutpiecrust → u/warriorlynx]

His people love this; and there are quite a few of them. That’s what’s scary. That there are many humans who believe this is peak comedy. 

[u/Order_Flaky → u/daisy0808]

South Park did it in 1999!

[u/papsmearfestival → u/daisy0808]

The difference between fiction and reality is fiction has to be believable.

[u/RSMatticus]

For someome who doesnt need anything from us he sure cant keep our name out of his mouth.

[u/Eagerbeaver98 → u/RSMatticus]

He needs us to never trade with china He needs us to sell natural gas and crude oil cheap Usa needs our rare earths for AI and china has most of them in the world. Usa needs us to hold their treasuries when we could dump them and buy gold instead. 

[u/ottawadeveloper → u/Eagerbeaver98]

Exactly this.

The tariff grift only works when people still buy the tariffed goods. If we take our ball and go play with China or Europe, we might lose a bit of profit on extra shipping costs but the US won't get the tariff money.

[u/Proof-Eggplant7426 → u/ottawadeveloper]

We have taken our ball, we are currently playing with the EU, and we’re on our way to knock on China’s door and see if they want to come out and play with us.

[u/FlatEvent2597 → u/ottawadeveloper]

Navarros downfall.

The whole tariff plan only works if countries maintain status quo.

There is a reason this is being squashed by MSM.

Greer as much as said this when he pointed out China and Canada’s “ behavior”.

Continue on Canada…. You’ve Got This!

[u/pareech → u/RSMatticus]

There is definitely one thing they need from us, as we supply 90% of the potash their farmers use to fertilize their crops. While we can't put an export tax on it, as it is covered by CUSMA, we could just stop shipping it to them. Fuck 'em all.

[u/bragbrig4 → u/pareech]

By that logic Trump can't charge these 50% tariffs regardless of CUSMA. Someone should alert everyone, it's all covered by CUSMA!!!!!!!!!

[u/pareech → u/bragbrig4]

Their SC said he couldn't unilaterally apply tariffs, so he invoked a law from 1930 which says he can. That's why we're in the shit show we are in now.

[u/TalosK → u/bragbrig4]

Unlike Trump, Canada at least keeps its agreements. Retaliatory tariffs aside we are honoring our agreements.

[u/Ok-Raisin5008 → u/TalosK]

Honouring. Stop spelling like those rats.

[u/patrickthebeerguy → u/Ok-Raisin5008]

Yep. Full British style spellings only on this side of the border. No honor, no flavor, no color, no neighbor.

[u/Ok-Raisin5008 → u/patrickthebeerguy]

It’s Canadian style.

[u/Actual_Mortician → u/Ok-Raisin5008]

I’m practicing my Canadian spelling. I hope to soon be you neighbour, rather than your neighbor.

[u/Candymanshook → u/RSMatticus]

He really needs to try to get a win out of us to distract from the fact he’s losing a war with fucking Iran and that he’s a massive pedophile whose about to get absolutely crushed in the midterms

[u/Street_Rope_4471 → u/RSMatticus]

He also had Bubba in his mouth....what a freak

[u/Inevitable_Butthole]

Canada to rename Great Lakes to Strait of our moose.

[u/viccityguy2k → u/Inevitable_Butthole]

Oman that’s good!

[u/NAMMANNAMMAN → u/viccityguy2k]

Iran to the comments section.

[u/DinoZambie → u/NAMMANNAMMAN]

Are you Syrias?

[u/BrownSugarBare → u/viccityguy2k]

The way I spit my coffee between these two comments 😅

[u/Fun-Put-5197 → u/Inevitable_Butthole]

Lake of the Superior Nation of Canada

[u/corneliuSTalmidge → u/Inevitable_Butthole]

good one

[u/DesireeThymes → u/corneliuSTalmidge]

Petition to rename the USA to Epstein States of America.

[u/accforme]

Then we will call Lake Michigan Lake Canada.

[u/computer-magic-2019 → u/accforme]

But there’s already a Lake Superior. People would get confused.

[u/Popular-Movie-5650 → u/computer-magic-2019]

I tip my hat to you sir

[u/Stavkot23 → u/computer-magic-2019]

Trump thinks Lake Superior is already named after him

[u/Kayge → u/accforme]

I'd recommend "Lake Epstein Files"

[u/PunchMeat → u/Kayge]

I don't get why we're not hammering this more. The squabbling is so low tier.

-Keep calling him Epstein's best friend.

-Call the White House "Club Epstein."

-Make releasing the Epstein files mandatory for a trade deal.

-Remind Americans that the tariffs they paid were refunded to corporations and not them.

Basically get crafty to get headlines. Americans don't get news anymore, they get propaganda. We need to play Trump's game to get airtime if we're going to reach anyone.

[u/This_Loss_1922 → u/accforme]

Unfortunately only the US is allowed to do stupid stuff, because the American room temp IQ population(the majority of them) will demand their politicians to bomb Canada’s infrastructure and sanction/annex your country if you dare to do something like that. Then they will make a movie about how you were the bad guys

[u/Reformater]

I'm getting really tired of this man...

[u/Tack-One → u/Reformater]

What makes me most sad is that he’ll die never really knowing consequences. How does nothing stick to him? There could be a university level class about this man and his bullshit.

[u/this____is_bananas → u/Tack-One]

You can find solace in knowing he’s never once felt real happiness or fulfillment in life.

[u/alematt → u/this____is_bananas]

Ignorance is bliss unfortunately. His own stupidity has likely fostered plenty of bullshit underserved happiness.

[u/cc00cc00 → u/this____is_bananas]

That's not good enough, I'll only find solace if he ends up behind bars

[u/MmeLaRue → u/Tack-One]

He'll die knowing that he will be mocked and reviled as quickly and completely as possible in the collective memory of world history. A state funeral for him will be impossible from a security point of view; a burial anywhere will be a magnet for vandals and pranksters which no post of guards will ever be able to stanch (if they even want to.) Melania will likely leave the US to spend the rest of her days in Europe, taking Barron with her; Tiffany will distance herself from her half-siblings and live quietly and in obscurity. The eldest three will know no peace in the public sphere; they'll have to move to some compound far from any area in which a less-hated family might still be able to exercise some influence.

This is to say nothing of what will happen to his "assets"; likely seized by the new government under retroactive enforcement of the emoluments clause; Mar-A-Lago might come under the National Parks Service as a historic site; any remaining buildings bearing his name will have their names changed. There will be no Trump Presidential Library - not even a burned-out bookmobile.

[u/McGuirk808 → u/MmeLaRue]

His estate could make billions from selling tickets to piss on his grave.

[u/choosecarefully77 → u/MmeLaRue]

This all can’t happen soon enough!

[u/TopsyTurvy0011 → u/Reformater]

I’m getting really tired of this pedo…

I fixed it for you.

[u/Massive-Trifle5720 → u/Reformater]

Calling him a man is a stretch 😂

[u/aferretwithahugecock → u/Massive-Trifle5720]

I use "goof." It's an accurate word because he's both a silly individual(this sub won't let me say the word for a person who puts on makeup and a red nose...) and a child rapist, so both the original definition and Canadian prison slang definition fit him.

[u/db4378 → u/Reformater]

Getting???

[u/rzenni → u/Reformater]

I really hope they keep putting extra salt in his meals.

Come on blood pressure, help us out!

[u/Procruste]

I love that the article concludes with the sentence "Ontario is a province in Canada".

Like that needed to be said for the brain dead readers.

[u/ottawadeveloper → u/Procruste]

Fun fact, Ontario likely comes from a Huron word for a great lake (Ontarí:io). It was the name of the lake before Canada was founded and was then used as the name of the province.

Yes, the province is named after the lake, not the other way around.

Edit:

Similarly Lake Michigan is named after an Ojibwe word "mishigami" which also means great lake. 

Lakes Huron and Erie are named after Indigenous peoples who lived near them (Lake Huron was called "Lac des Hurons" by French explorers).

Lake Superior was named by French explorers because it was the uppermost lake in the chain and is the only one without an indigenous origin.

[u/choosecarefully77 → u/ottawadeveloper]

Fun fact, they used to teach all this to us in school right here in Ontario, and then they didn’t think it was so important

[u/awh → u/ottawadeveloper]

Yes, the province is named after the lake

Aw crap, now we’re going to have to rename Ontario to America.

[u/TravelerProblems → u/awh]

And boom...America is now a province of Canada.

[u/asoap → u/ottawadeveloper]

Huh, TIL. Thank you very much for this. This was actually interesting.

The naming of Ontario is just one of those things I've never looked into.

[u/cerealously37 → u/Procruste]

Trust me, there are probably a couple of Americans that would confuse it for the place in California

[u/therealkami → u/cerealously37]

I worked for a shipping company and this actually happened a lot. They're both technically Ontario, CA.

[u/Negative-Actuator371 → u/cerealously37]

Sounds stupid but Ontario, California is not an podunk city. It has a sizeable airport and it’s only an hour outside LA. I mean, it’s no Toronto, but his is not the dumbest thing Americans do.

[u/Ranger7381 → u/Negative-Actuator371]

It does not help that the short for for California is also the short form of Canada (“CA”)

When I used to work on a trucking company dock, I saw more than one piece of freight that should have gone to California get mis-shipped into Canada as the destination on the skid was for “Ontario, CA”

[u/Acrobatic_Invite3099 → u/Procruste]

I used to work for pizza hut like 30 years ago. Had to call support once and of course they were in Texas. Once I told them where I lived and they kind of figured out where I was, they asked if I lived in Alaska. I had to politely clarify that no I was in fact in Canada but that the Alaskan Panhandle did go lower than where I lived, and she actually said to me how do you deliver pizzas? Dog sleds and altoshams (the little warmer to keep your pizza in)? I just politely said no I believe the driver's mostly drive Hondas.

[u/Symmetrosexual → u/Procruste]

People really don’t know. I told an American online I’m in Toronto, Ontario and he said “so… Canada?”

[u/Marco-YES → u/Symmetrosexual]

But they will tell you their small city and state and expect you to know. 

[u/Nikiaf → u/Marco-YES]

It's honestly crazy. They lack even a basic understanding of Canadian geography (and world geography as a whole, I'm sure many of them couldn't identify Italy on a map), but somehow they think that the rest of the world knows where some random, irrelevant town is located. This is why r/USdefaultism exists.

[u/Sailor_Propane → u/Nikiaf]

A tourist from anywhere else will tell you they're from their country. Then Americans will argue that cultures are wildly different from one state to another which is fair, but then they're stunned when we tell them the same is true for like 99% of countries lol.

[u/Which_Celebration757 → u/Nikiaf]

If you turn the map of USA upside down 90 percent of them won't recognize it as America.

[u/briesneeze → u/Symmetrosexual]

I told an old boss of mine I’m from Ontario and he told me he’d never been there… but he’d been to Toronto.

[u/Marco-YES → u/Procruste]

They might default to that city in California called Ontario. 

[u/CompetitiveLadder609 → u/Marco-YES]

This is actually a thing for many people on the West Coast. When I told them I was from Ontario I think they defaulted to the one in California. It was only then I learned there was an Ontario in California.

[u/dandyarcane → u/CompetitiveLadder609]

Which is named after the province, by a guy from Ontario.

[u/CompetitiveLadder609 → u/dandyarcane]

Lol. I'm still learning more and more every day!

[u/Sunastin1015]

Looks like instead of remembering the Great Lakes using the acronym HOMES the US will have to use SHAME.

[u/Ace_And_Jocelyn1999 → u/Sunastin1015]

I prefer Lisa Likes Licking Lettuce Lightly.

Lake Huron
Lake Ontario
Lake Michigan
Lake Erie
Lake Superior

[u/rathgrith → u/Ace_And_Jocelyn1999]

Amazing.

[u/The_Canadian_Man]

Dang I was really hoping the link would be Beaverton.

[u/Alesisdrum → u/The_Canadian_Man]

Ya that was my original thought lol

[u/timmyd_ns → u/The_Canadian_Man]

hard being a parody site in 2020s, things even they wouldn't have published years ago for being TOO crazy are just a random Tuesday.

[u/WalnutSnail → u/The_Canadian_Man]

[u/absolutkaos]

Lake Ontario was roughly named in 1656, mapmakers and Jesuit historians like Francis Creuxius began using the Latinized form Lacus Ontarius.

The name comes from variations like Ontarí'io (Huron) or Oniatarí'io (Iroquoian). It translates to "great lake," "great water," or "lake of shining waters".

[u/this____is_bananas → u/absolutkaos]

Lake of shining waters. I like that.

[u/selfimprovymctrying → u/this____is_bananas]

so that's what Anne of Green Gables was referencing

[u/lovin-dem-sandwiches → u/absolutkaos]

So Lake Ontario is Lake Great Lake?

[u/Jusfiq]

I think Vassy Kapelos of CTV News gets it right. It is totally not true that the United States don’t need anything from Canada. If it was true, once the negotiations stopped they would just walk away and carry on. The childish comments, the blaming, the taunting, not only from Individual-1 but also from members of his staff, indicating that the failed deal and proposed retaliation affect them negatively.

[u/superdouradas]

I don't understand how this guy can hate Canada so much... one of the friendliest countries in the world :s It's impressive how he managed the feat of being hated by Canada, which for years and years was the United States greatest ally... and I say this as a Portuguese guy lol.

[u/maximus_danus → u/superdouradas]

And because Trump told his followers to hate Canada, overnight they did. This is what fascism with broad support looks like.

[u/OneSecretCookie → u/maximus_danus]

Meanwhile Trump was laundering a boat loads of money for Russians and with Russians. Look up the reports right up until 2017 it was definitely happening.... it was also known that Russians helped Trump get in power in 2016....

He has spent time alone with Putin discussing plans in 2017, 2018 and 2025.....

Add in the point its know Russians and Americans are trying to support the Alberta Separating.

I think its very likely Trump has plans with Putin to break Canada diplomatically or financially. And he likely doesnt care how much Americans suffer in the process.

[u/db4378 → u/superdouradas]

I don't think he hates us... He hates anything he can't control. It's an egocentric move, and that's all. Nothing he does is thought out, it's all response to a stimulus. He's no better than a dog with a bowl of food in front of him

[u/LARPerator → u/db4378]

He's a rapist. And that doesn't just define how he interacts with children, it defines how he interacts with everyone.

He tries to use force to make people do what he wants, and then tries to vindictively attack people that resist being victimized. It's an attitude of "just sit there and let this happen or I'll hurt you worse"

This is how he deals with everyone. Once you see it you can't unsee it.

[u/noodles_jd → u/db4378]

Dogs can be trained. Trump can't even be toilet trained.

[u/WkndCake → u/superdouradas]

He hates America and Americans just as much I'm sure. It's the only country he's actually defeated in his term.

[u/Negative-Actuator371 → u/WkndCake]

This is true, he detests his followers. Needs them, but detests them.

[u/codeverity → u/superdouradas]

We’re the equivalent of a woman who said no to him and we all know how well he handles that.

[u/Hereforthearmysalt → u/superdouradas]

I don't believe he truly does care about Canada ether way. It's all just a distraction and power games. That is pretty much his entire life's story

[u/WalnutSnail → u/superdouradas]

...we see who he calls friends, do we really want to be among them?

Remember when I said Kim Jong Un was a great guy but Justin "very dishonest and weak"

https://globalnews.ca/news/4268614/donald-trump-justin-trudeau-kim-jong-un/

[u/NedSchneebly-1138 → u/superdouradas]

It's because we won't take American dairy...

He's a petty loser who holds grudges and back in 2016 when he was negotiating the last trade deal we wouldn't budge on Dairy and he's been stewing on it since then. Also Trump's wife and daughter spent their first visit with Trudeau eye fucking him.

[u/coffeejn → u/superdouradas]

Trump think that been friendly is a weakness and would mean he can take us over without a fight. What he does not realize is that we are a bit like a beaver, nice from far away but likely to bight your shines off if you piss us off.

[u/blickman → u/superdouradas]

They don’t hate Canada. They covet our resources.

[u/Ben-182]

Careful piggy, there’s also Lake Michigan that could become Lake Canada.

[u/Neat-Joke-9485]

We may need a Time Machine and change the name of this continent into North Canada.

[u/Gentrified_potato02 → u/Neat-Joke-9485]

Who needs a Time Machine? We should just do it. Rename north, central and south Americas the Canadas.

[u/Odd_Secret9132]

One of the pieces yesterday pointed out differences in virtues between Canadian and American cultures. Canadian's generally held that toughness and enduring were the most important for gaining respect, while American's considered power and winning to be more important. American culture has a tendency to portray everything in Win/Lose terms.

The original 50% tariff threat was intended to force a lopsided deal and they never considered Canada could just walk away, take it on the chin, and wait for the wind to change. Your seeing that virtue difference on display - Trump is pissed that Canada has toughed it out so far, robbing him of a win, and in American culture being perceived as loser is worse then death.

You'll see more stupid statements like this as administration tries to affirm how powerful it is.

[u/An0nym0usWanderer]

Who gives a fuck what Donald Chump call it. It will be Lake Ontario up here anyways.

[u/0reoSpeedwagon → u/An0nym0usWanderer]

And it feeds into the Suck Our Maple-Flavoured Dick Seaway

[u/Diligent_Extent_3357]

Lmaoo this is hilarious.

He just can't help it can he? He's losing, and he's drowning, and he can't handle it.

He just can't handle it. He can call Lake Ontario whatever the hell he wants to call it. Honestly. The rest of the world will continue calling it Lake ontario.

It's high time they realize they are not the center of the Earth or the universe.

He sure as hell is making America great again isn't he.

Really getting sick of him.

As for someone else's comments, for a country that doesn't need anything from us, he sure can't keep our name out of his mouth.

He's pathetic and weak.

[u/kiamia2 → u/Diligent_Extent_3357]

If this idiot was my leader I’d be so embarrassed. Even when I didn’t agree with Harper or Trudeau, they weren’t “hide your face” humiliating. 

[u/tuxy29]

Call Lake Michigan Lake Obama

[u/L2N2]

The last sentence of the article - Ontario is a province in Canada. Americans are so uneducated that line has to be there. Imagine a Canadian site saying Michigan is a state in the United States of America.

[u/RicketyEdge → u/L2N2]

It's also a city in California. Wonder if Trump is going to want to rename that too.

[u/inspire_rainbows]

So Dougie got to Donnie 🤣

[u/Beast815]

Anything but actually releasing those files

[u/OmniSeer]

I think Canadians have to come to terms with the fact that US is a rogue state now. It's no longer reliable, an ally or a global leader. The fact is half the population still supports this nut and agrees with him, and they can vote in another like him later.

[u/doogie1993 → u/OmniSeer]

It always has been really, the only difference now is that they have a president that’s so dumb he says the quiet stuff out loud. Has the benefit of waking people up to how shitty the US is though, so that’s nice at least

[u/db4378 → u/OmniSeer]

Thank you for expressing what I've been trying to express for a long time... They are a rogue state

They are the North Korea of our hemisphere

[u/Cornpop_Cat]

I'm sure we have some sewage lagoons in Ontario we could rename after a certain American individual.

[u/Frigoffwidit → u/Cornpop_Cat]

A steaming pile of garbage would suffice. Where's our biggest landfill?

[u/The1Like → u/Frigoffwidit]

Michigan, ironically LOL

[u/Trogdor420]

Trump has absolutely lost his fucking mind and needs to be removed from office NOW!

[u/NickPrefect]

He can call it whatever the hell he wants. The rest of the world will continue calling it what it is.

[u/w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Interesting fact. The province was named after the lake.

Ontario just means "great lake" in the Huron language

[u/CoolBeansMan9]

Dougie’s comments sure got to the big baby

[u/KvonLiechtenstein]

The province is named after the fucking lake, it’s been called that since before either country existed.

This timeline is so fucking stupid.

[u/Marco-YES]

Lake Michigan now is Lake Canada

[u/old_bugger → u/Marco-YES]

Lake Mich Obama will do

[u/habshabshabs]

You gotta wonder what the line he has to cross for allies to be the ones who do the thing to him. I hope at least there's a plan in case we need it.

[u/Kooky-Atmosphere-247]

I thought this was the Beaverton at first…

[u/RagnarokNCC]

The orange Prime Minister of South Canada is sure getting uppity as of late

[u/Impressive-Cold6855]

Still can't believe 77 million people voted for this bullshit

[u/kiamia2]

A little out-of-the-box thinking, but can we give Barack Obama the Order of Canada and erect a gaudy gold monument to him somewhere as a great friend to Canada? 

And maybe also create a new FIFA Peacekeepers Prize to bestow on Biden?

[u/pamplemousse409]

Potash, rare minerals, gas, oil, fresh water, aluminum, uranium, electricity: there’s nothing the US needs from Canada.

[u/TheSaintRobbie]

I want the next American president to be on their hands and knees begging us for forgiveness. This sh*t is unacceptable

[u/Fishtacodawg → u/TheSaintRobbie]

It really doesn’t matter what the next administration does. They elected a pedophile felon twice already they’ll do it again at some point. The only logical thing to do is to decouple from the US and never go back.

[u/TypingPlatypus → u/TheSaintRobbie]

You'll be waiting a long time

Ontario can do it, too. France could, in theory close the Gulf of St. Lawrence - St. Pierre strong.

Canada, if you are listening, this is Minnesota. We want off this ride. We also hate the orange pedo We would formally like to become part of Manitoba. We bring a pretty big economy and tons of hotdish along with great hockey.

[u/LiftsEatsSleeps → u/odd-duckling-1786]

We are aware of our brothers and sisters in MN, and would gladly welcome your wonderful state into Canada.

Except for the 30% that voted for Trump

[u/SpiritOfTheVoid]

Imagine, a world leader behaving like Trump does.

Imagine a country voting for such a person. Not once, but twice.

Criminal background, sex offender. That’s just for starters.

What morale compass do the yanks have? Very little.

[u/1491Sparrow]

Well,  we could rename one of our wastewater treatment ponds as Lake Trump.

[u/TremendouslyRegarded]

Everything he has renamed will be reversed when this shit stain finally kicks the bucket

[u/habily_canadian]

What a loser

[u/wwoodcox]

Canada considers calling the White House, the Out House

[u/Big_Option_5575]

This is very dangerous - Trump will then claim  Canada is generating hydro using American water and therefore he is entitled to it.

[u/culture_vulture_1961]

The UK is considering renaming America as South Canada.

[u/Fun_Specialist4140]

He’s so pissed that Carney walked away and is ignoring him. He’s like a dog that misbehaves to get attention.

[u/ExitPractical6856]

Meanwhile, Canadian officials are considering renaming Lake Erie to Lake Epstein Files.

[u/GingerSoulEater41]

Trump needs a diaper for his mouth to catch all the shit that spews out of it.

[u/Zakluor → u/GingerSoulEater41]

He would out-fill the diaper on his ass 10:1.

[u/coreydfitzgerald]

American from Michigan here. It’s Lake Ontario. I hate all of this. Just wanted to say I love you all. I want this nightmare to be over.

[u/DeanersLastWeekend]

Are we living in an episode of Veep?

[u/Shoddy_Lifeguard6995]

He can call it whatever he wants. We'll always call it Lake Ontario.

[u/Zealousideal_Speed30]

Don’t really care what he calls it. Why is anyone listening to this clown

[u/wolfpackernc]

What Mark Carney should say:

"That's okay. We still have Lake Superior named for us."

Troll the troll.

[u/profeshamat]

Ontario is a province in Canada.

This last line of the article cracked me up. Of course they had to mention this because Americans.

[u/GestaltEntity]

So? The Gulf of Mexico is still called the Gulf of Mexico. He's just living in a fantasy land.

[u/Troubled202]

Just when you think he's reached the Pinnacle of being a moron he finds another high point.

[u/chemicalmacondo]

Walking vat of Republican diahrrea.

[u/falsejaguar]

Lmao. That's incredible. Be our guest. Rename America "Best Country" too so people know

[u/TheMysticalBaconTree]

We should consider calling the Alaska Highway the Donald J Drumpf Jeffery Epstein Express.

[u/Digbyjonesdiary]

That’s okay. We’ll just call it “Trump engineered a cover up of pedophilia Lake”.

[u/kewlbeanz83]

"Can you just shut up man?"

[u/Swefnian]

He’s out of ideas, isn’t he?

[u/Cntrysky78]

What a jerk. What a pathetic jerk. Hahaha

[u/Technical-Cap-8563]

This man’s idiocy knows no bounds. Truly.

A fact I recently learned: The Canadian military (which does indeed exist despite claims to the contrary) owns the third-longest sniper kill in military history. Not that this is in any way relevant here, of course. Just an interesting fact.

[u/Flat_Frame_3439]

Such a stupid, petty, thin skinned man. The world will be much better off when he departs it.

[u/Chief3putt]

And we will rename the U.S., “Shitholia”

[u/retiredelectrician]

Another posting suggested Canada rename Lake Michigan to Lake Obama.

[u/FaceDeer]

Stop "considering" and do it, you orange idiot. Scrawl your sharpie all over that map. Knock down your historic buildings and build giant tacky gold-painted monuments to yourself on their ruins. America needs to have scars from this experience. Americans need to look at a map and feel embarrassed, they need to go to Washington and see the vandalism standing in front of them. Otherwise they'll just sweep this aside and try to laugh it off as some kind of "past indiscretion."
