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 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?
We could ask the Haudenosaunee Nation, given that they're Iriqouian speakers
I think you missed the meaning of his message
I would name it Lake Biden. Or Lake Obama. You know, to celebrate at least a modicum of competence.
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.
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
