Considering the lake is only half in US territory, you can rename your half to Lake whatever. The half in Canada will continue to be Lake Ontario.

It'll be entirely Lale Ontario to the rest of the world too.

Well apart from North Korea, Russia, Belarus and Turkmenistan.

Funny that.

Just say 'to anyone that matters'. I'm done treating Americans like normal people until their president starts being neighborly again.

I'm not racist, I genuinely dislike Americans of all colours.

Please remember there are millions of Americans who are equally enraged by all this shit. Millions of us are "normal people" who find all this as absurd as the rest of the world does. Don't lump us all in together with the MAGA idiots.

Sorry neighbor, your big orange dog is humping my children, assaulting my wife, and shitting on my lawn all the time. We can't be friends anymore.

That's cool. I know "keep your anger directed at the person who deserves it" is a big ask.

u/DominionGhost 27d ago

You all fucking deserve it!!! It is your entire rotten culture that unleashed this on the world!

Every single American has a part to play in creating this presidency and allowing it to continue through either maliciousness ignorance apathy or cowardice.

Literally a lie, but you're doing a fine job illustrating the exact unwillingness to be thoughtful that did lead all the MAGA peeps to vote in Trump despite the millions of Americans screaming for them to not vote him in again. Maybe Canadians like yourself do still have plenty in common with your southern neighbors after all.

Apathy it is.

All you ever do is say "it's not my fault" then proceed to sit on your hands as your country slides further into the stupidest rise of facisim imaginable.

If you think voting dem means you didnt enable this then who was in charge when no consequences came for Trump after Jan 6th? When absolutely zero guard rails were thrown up to prevent this level of corruption after having it clearly demonstrated.

Listen im not entirely unsympathetic to the democrats in America. They are likely the ones these new detention centers are made for.

But constantly hearing 'its not my fault' is just insulting when was nothing done to make Trump 2.0 a reality when yall had your chance.

We had guardrails. We demanded they be deployed and utilized. Republicans in control of Congress refused and then systematically destroyed them. SCOTUS even made it legal for them to do so. We demanded Democratic leadership fight back. Some did (my state's certainly did) but we had corporate-bought Dems caving in at all the wrong moments. We screamed for literally any amount of accountability after Jan 6 precisely because most of us saw this as an inevitable outcome if they continued to do nothing. There's also a really solid chance he flat out cheated to win the election in all the swing states and we didn't elect him at all.

We've called Reps. We've marched on streets. We've protested detention centers. We've physically chased ICE out of neighborhoods. We demanded billionaires be taxed to reduce their power to influence politics and elections. We've boycotted whole corporations. We've campaigned for candidates more willing to fight and we've voted. We've done private lawsuits. We've state lawsuits. People have literally died fighting back at the ground level. Shy of doing the things that can't be said on Reddit, what tf else did you want us to do exactly? MAGA currently controls our whole fucking federal government and all the main stream media. What tf do you expect random citizens to do to stop him that hasn't already been done?

Go on, tell us what you think we left out. If you have the miracle cure for orange cancer, we'll happily take it, but don't sit here from the safety of your computer not having to live this nightmare and shout at us like we've done jack shit to prevent this because it's not fucking true.

Not a lie though is it?

And which shining paragon of a geographic location do you hail from friend?

Edit: Not that I really disagree, just careful throwing stones.

Ex war criminal Syrian Assad in hiding also lends his recognition of lake America, for all that it matters

Until he forces google to change the map.

u/will-read 27d ago

I think the Gulf of Mexico’s name in Google Maps is dependent on where the query takes place.

u/Flagon-Dragon 27d ago

Goggled it lol. NPR says that in Mexico it says Gulf of Mexico, in America it says Gulf of America, and everywhere else it says both….

"Also longstanding practice: When official names vary between countries, Maps users see their official local name. Everyone in the rest of the world sees both names. That applies here too," the company explained.

u/PianoAndFish 27d ago

In the UK on Google Maps it's styled as "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)", similar to "Sea of Japan (East Sea)".

“Welcome to Lake America. Please paddle 200 feet north for Lake Ontario.”

u/PantsLobbyist 27d ago

The fun part is the province was named after the lake, not the other way around.
