BREAKING: REAL LEADER! Prime Minister Mark Carney hits back HARD at Trump's pathetic "Lake America" renaming — says it will be Lake Ontario "then, now ⁠and ​always." This is going to drive MAGA off a ledge... "The name of Lake Ontario derives from the Wendat word 'Ontari’io', which means 'the lake is beautiful, the lake is great," Carney wrote on X in French. "This name dates back more than 400 years, well before the Canadian Confederation and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America," he continued. "We know that the United States is changing. Their trade relations, their foreign policy, their national monuments, their hydronyms," Carney added. "Canadian women and men also know that things must be called by their name, and this lake is called Lake Ontario – then, now ⁠and ​always." As usual, Carney struck the perfect balance between firm confidence and restrained class. He also managed to slide in a great little trolling jab with his use of the word "hydronyms" because there's no way in hell Trump knows what it means. It means the names for bodies of water, so Carney is also referring to Trump's pathetic effort to rebrand the Gulf of Mexico into the "Gulf of America." This entire story is a transparent attempt by Trump to distract from his failed Iran War and our teetering economy. He can't pass any legislation because he's too lazy to design any, so he's taken to scrawling on maps with a Sharpie. Carney is right that Canadians will just continue to call it Lake Ontario, but so will most Americans. Only the most diehard MAGA cultists are on board with this asinine idea and Trump has no control over our words. When the next Democratic President is sworn in, they can undo this farce with the stroke of a pen. Please ❤️ and share if you're still calling it Lake Ontario!
