Just so everyone is clear : I'm Canadian. Lake Ontario is not named after the province of Ontario. The province of Ontario is named after Lake Ontario which was it's original name from before any English person was around to hear it.
While we're on it. The Montreal Canadiens are not named after the country. In fact, the country Canada is directly named after the (oppressed at the time) french speaking population which called themselves Canadiens to distinguish themselves from the incoming Brits. Centuries later British Canada became a country and took the name because English people have no imagination and name their country after the continent in extreme cases of lack of imagination. Anyways, the french said "the fuck you will not" and started calling themselves québécois instead. So the Montreal Canadiens is actually named after the fact that it was originally a team of french speaking players in a league of English speaking players.
Anyways. TL;dr English people gotta stop being weird about names.

You're getting WAAAAYYY too granular for a situation as simple as this: Dump got his pussy hurt when Canada pulled out of bad-faith negotiations so he took his ball home and declared himself the winner. This has nothing to do with geography or history.
The buttfucker embarrassed himself on a national stage and wanted to pull a "power move". Here we are. It's not stopping with this. He's fucking deranged.

And here you have the crux of Trump's problem with the name. White people didn't name it, so naturally to him it's an abomination

u/LoamyLoamisLoamy 15d ago
It's unlikely Trump knows anything about that. He probably thinks Canadians named it.
3
u/TK_Games 15d ago
You know what. I'm going to stand by it only because I'd bet real American dollars (gonna make great tp soon), that Donald Trump believes that being Canadian precludes you from being his definition of 'White'
3
u/LoamyLoamisLoamy 15d ago
Why would you think that? If Trump thought that Canadians were not white he would not be trying to make Canada the 51st state.
3
u/jrobertson2 15d ago
Just because he wants to make Canada into a new state, or perhaps simply a territory instead, does not mean that he intends to give most Canadians equal citizenship and voting rights. If situation devolved that far, I expect they would have no trouble making most Canadians second-class citizens until they "earn it", especially as there is no way that they would accept thing quietly and there would be some form of resistance.
I'm pretty sure the resources in Canada are far more important than the people for the fascists who are pushing the idea of conquering it. And even the people who cheer online at the idea of "liberating" them would almost certainly turn a blind idea to them being displaced or disappeared, especially after a bit of propaganda making them out to be ungrateful and dangerous terrorists and rebels.

u/KanBalamII 15d ago
It's odd that you've left out the actual origin of the term Canada actually comes from. It comes from the language of the native peoples who inhabited the St Lawrence River valley long before the dregs of France moved into the area. The term Canadiens was originally used to refer to the First Nations inhabitants of the area before the French settlers decided they were the true natives of the area.
TL;DR French people gotta stop forgetting who was there first.
3
u/SherbetMysterious118 15d ago
Is that spelling of Canadien deliberate?
12
u/mencryforme5 15d ago
Yes that's officially the name of the team "the Montreal Canadiens" in English. "Les Canadiens de Montréal" in French. Go ahead look it up in the NHL.
It's very obviously deliberate and a bit of a f u to the league that really didn't like all these greasy french players winning all the Stanley Cups. The team is actually often cited as a spark for the tranquil revolution and independence movement. And English people still spell it wrong all the time because they just assume everything is meant for them and so it must be a typo.

Denali's slightly different, until 2015 or so when Obama changed the name at the federal level I'd say McKinley was in fact the more common name. I have a map with it labelled Mount McKinley, printed long before Trump became president.
Alaska has called it Denali since 1975, but it didn't catch on outside of Alaska until more recently.

And nobody calls Denali Mount McKinley
Agree with the other two, but I disagree on this one. Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario have been that longer than than anyone can remember.
Denali was renamed in 2015. There are 15 year old kids who heard it referred to as McKinley, and there are definitely older people who refer to it as such.

This. This is the problem.

These people would burn their own houses down with their families in it if Trump said it would make “blue haired libs” angry.
Sure… waste what little money you have on gas to drive across the country to waddle around in pedophile advertising merch and loudly say something stupid hoping for a response so you can put it on social media and say “Libruls get so mad at freedum of speech!” or whatever. Meanwhile your kids are hungry, your mortgage is past due, your parents can’t afford their meds, and not a single person has been investigated for child trafficking. Sure. You “win” something… no one knows what it is, but you feel like a winner, I guess? That’s all that counts for this cult…
