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.

    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

    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.

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

    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.)

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

    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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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?

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