This pedophile is obsessed with changing names of things... "mine mine mine" mentality of a 4 year old. It'll always be Lake Ontario, just as its Gulf of Mexico.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think we can use this opportunity to rename these bodies of water after indigenous names. I've heard that some people in Mexico are now calling the Gulf Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl to celebrate their indigenous history. We should rename the lake to a name chosen by the Ojibwe

"Ontario" is already an indigenous word.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario#Etymology :

Ontario is a term thought to have Indigenous origins, either Ontarí:io, a Huron (Wyandot) word meaning "great lake",[16] or possibly skanadario, which means "beautiful water" or "sparkling water" in the Iroquoian languages.[17]

Ontario is a colonial derivation of an indigenous word. Your own source provides 2 potential options for indigenous names: Ontarí:io and Skanadario

[–] grue@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

What's the difference between a (bad connotation) "colonial derivation" and a (neutral connotation) "transliteration?"

Remember, there was no native writing system and therefore no original orthographic form to be faithful to. "Ontario" and "Ontarí:io" are damn similar, so who's to say "Ontario" wasn't just a reasonable 17th Century transliteration from the time before diacritical marks were a thing?

I would name it Lake Biden. Or Lake Obama. You know, to celebrate at least a modicum of competence.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Nah, keep it Ontario, they may not be well managed (I'm not pretending a Ford is a good leader), but we oughta love them anyways. We can rename Lake Michigan to Lake Canada or something

[–] Jacob_Mandarin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

How about Lake Epstein?

Or maybe one of the victims to not look like anybody is celebrating the guy. Im just worried Trump wouldnt get the reference. No way the guy remembers any of the victims names.

The United States….

Bitch, no. Just the whiny pedophile rapist is considering it.

"Distract the president with this while we pillage the economy" - Stephen Miller probably

I hope Canada renames Trump to "Pedophile" in retaliation.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Canada should rename it either Lake de Salaberry or Lake Brock.

The funny thing is 99% of Americans would be completely oblivious to the nature of those names. (They are military leaders who successfully repelled America's attempts to invade during the War of 1812.)

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They should name it after the one that burned down the Whitehouse

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

There were two of them, but I guess they could combine them. Lake Cockburn-Ross.

Or they could rename the streets around the American embassy in Ottawa to those names. That would work too.

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Wait, Cockburn burned the white house?

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How about Lake Epstein Files?

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago

That works if we find trump deep within it.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Lake Epstein

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

THE GREATEST LAKES:
LAKE AMERICA
LAKE AMERICA
LAKE AMERICA
LAKE AMERICA
and
LAKE AMERICA

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS WATER

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

All your rivers, lakes, gulfs, and straits are belong to us!

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lake Aladeen, and it's not even really hyperbole.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The results are in, you are HIV aladeen.

Well to be fair, Lake Superior, Lake Huron, and Lake Erie all also partially reach into Canada. So maybe rename all of them to Lake America too, just to keep it consistent /s

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s virtue signaling at this point. I live in Fl and all the dumb ass MAGA call it the gulf of America. You’ll see all the loyal MAGA in those states pile on if he does rename a lake.

Honestly I don’t mind it anymore it tells me exactly who you are when you say it and lets me weed you out immediately as someone I want to know.

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm not sure "virtue" is the right word. Perhaps "asshole signaling"?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Following up on his previous success in renaming The Gulf of Mexico.

/s

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Out of curiosity I just checked Google maps, hopoing they were just placating him. Nope still the thing I'm not going to ever call it.

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 week ago

In the UK, it still shows Gulf of Mexico, but with gulf of America in parentheses. Google needs to grow a pair.

Lake Epstein

I remember the great lakes with HOMES.

I guess it's not too hard to switch to SHAME

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Someone shit their pants again.

I'd be shitting myself too if my legacy was cemented as being America's first felon rapist pedo traitor president.

[–] Mikrochip@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's next? Is he going to change regular words to 'America', too? I.e. 'positive' and 'negative'?

[–] hexabs@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

You're reports came back HIV 'murica!

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How about we do the same to him? Like rename New York to Lesser York? There is all kinds of places in the USA that use names from the rest of the west, while we shouldn't do any business with them. Suggestions welcome.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

How about we do the same to him?

russian embassy in prague has two entrances with two different addresses. in recent years, they were changed to boris nemtsov plaza and ukrainian heroes street.

https://mapy.com/s/ravodabojo

if something similar happened to trump tower address, it might finally give that asshole a heart attack 😆

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I think when it comes to Trump, the more personal it gets the better it will work. Like how Iran put a price on the head of his wife and his son.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Somebody should slap the shit back into him.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That would require touching him. I have a strict hands off rule when it comes to pedophiles.

[–] mkhopper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's already so full of shit. Why would you want to add even more?

[–] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

He didn't like ford telling him to kiss his ass, and calling him a loser it seems. ... ah well

[–] Bumrocky@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Surprised he's not trying to change it to Lake Trump

[–] KaChilde@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I am terrified of the world we live in when world leaders can act like petulant children, and it’s not even worthy of seriously reporting on.

How do people that meet this man resist the urge to drive their hands deep into his flabby neck folds and choke the life out of him? Or at least slap the dumb look of his greasy face?

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Why not change it to the lake that divides the child rapist protection agencies to the child rapist enabling agencies.
