U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an order directing the interior secretary to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America" as Canada trade war persists.

Trump cannot force Canada to follow his preferred naming convention, however.

The move is reminiscent of his move last year to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America."

Make a note on which maps companies comply in the US and boycott them.

    So if the US can just randomly rename stuff that doesn't belong to them, Canada can too. I want to see them rename the entire United States to "Trump is a Pedophile". That'll look great on Google maps!

    He seems to think Canadians will care what they choose to call that body of water.

    Oh no, a rapist is calling to rename a lake in a country where 1/2 the population can barely read.

    I am quite happy that Canada is diverting away from this dumpster fire of a country.

    Trump cannot force Canada to follow his preferred naming convention, however.

    Trump cannot force anyone outside of the USA to respect his childish renaming bullshit.

    He can't even force Americans to play his stupid game, though I'm sure a bunch if them will happily play along.

    He can call it what he will, but Canadians still call the Rogers Centre the SkyDome over 20 years later.

    They could have just called it the Rogers Skydome, and nobody would have cared. I'm more mad about that than I am with the orange pedo having another tantrum with Lake Ontario.

    It's all just an attempted distraction from the Republicans' ruinous economic and social policy. And hoping we forget about the Epstein files. Release the full Epstein files, with only victims images and PIA redacted.

    But Rogers was just being senselessly stupid. They weren't trying to cover up being pedophiles, afaik, so why did they do it?

    No Lake Michigan is Lake Epstein. Don't need to rename Canada's great lakes and Lake Michigan is all in their borders. Also that is the one the FBI complaint alleges Trump witnessed the newborn of a 13 yr old Epstein victim murdered and dumped. If people want to get under his deathly orange skin run with that one.

    In response, the City of Toronto can propose renaming the Green Lane Landfill to the Donald J. Trump Memorial Landfill, or Donald Dump for short.

    We should rename the entire US "South Canada" or "Lesser Canada".

  • I like the AP news article that points out Trump doesn't have the power or authority to do this and it is an entirely meaningless change except to cause US schools to update books four times.
