Lake Ontario is not named after the province

For my friends on the left who might be critical of renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America, you're being hypocritical. Acting like this is some unprecedented outrage after a decade of the left renaming sports teams, schools, highways, food brands, and half the dictionary.
A quick reminder, in case anyone forgot:

• Washington Redskins → Commanders
• Cleveland Indians → Guardians
• Stanford Indians → Cardinal
• Edmonton Eskimos → Elks
• Loudoun County Raiders → Captains
Places and holidays
• Columbus Day → Indigenous Peoples’ Day
• Robert E. Lee High School → John Lewis High
• Jefferson Davis Highway → Richmond Highway
• Mount McKinley → Denali (later reversed)
• Fort Bragg → Fort Liberty (later reversed)
• Fort Hood → Fort Cavazos
Brands and institutions
• Boy Scouts of America → Scouting America
• Aunt Jemima → Pearl Milling Company
• Uncle Ben’s → Ben’s Original
• Eskimo Pie → Edy’s Pie
• Land O’Lakes → kept the land, dropped the Indian
Language
• Illegal alien → undocumented immigrant
• Hispanic → Latinx (a term Hispanics never asked for and don’t use)
• Mother → birthing person
• Breastfeeding → chestfeeding
• Inmate / prisoner / convict → justice-involved person
• Ex-con → returning citizen
• Fat → plus-sized
• Master bedroom → primary bedroom
• Anchor baby → child of noncitizens

And so on... You can think the lake rename is dumb. Fine. Just don’t pretend renaming things is some brand-new crime that only started last week!

Are you saying you cannot see that? You are obdurate in pretending you cannot understand simple things. Tell us, what is the gain in doing dumb shit like renaming bodies of water. Are you impressed with the brilliance and the need for it?

Canada burned down the entire White House, where as trump only destroyed a third of the White House.

Then again, we burned down Canada's capital, so we should also burn down mar-a-lardo to be fair.
