Marlaina is a cunt.
says U.S. may rename Lake Ontario
Sure, fine by me. Let’s name it Lake Pedohidingtheepstienfiles.
I don’t want to insult the lake and our First Nations people like that
Ontario comes from Huron meaning “Great Lake”, and it is a great lake. It’s also a fitting name for our beautiful lake filled province.
To change the name (over ego) would be an insult to our history, it would be pointless colonialism, and it would worsen our great country and province.
Did not know that thanks for letting for filling a gap in my knowledge.
Canada should rename it first in honor of Trump: lake Inferior.
Is he tryting to rename it to “Lake America” because he drowned a kid in it? Maybe he did the same in the Gulf of Mexico? And now, when you take him to court, he can say, “Nuh-uh, that __ doesn’t exist therefore I’m innocent?”
That was Lake Michigan aka Lovechild Lake
The decision to continue offering American alcohol has paid off, Verboom said. “We’ve had people from Manitoba come in here, buy some product and thank us for having it because they can’t get it in their home province.”
Eat my ass, ignorant fucking traitor.
To me it’s kinda the same energy as grocery stores with giant Buy Canadian banners but still stocking US products. My man, you’re literally the one in charge of what products are available!
Agreed
Here’s the Canadian Government’s “Complete list of U.S. products subject to counter tariffs”
Effective September 8, 2026
The new targeted counter tariffs are concentrated in sectors such as steel and aluminum, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, plastics, and electronics. In certain sectors, such as steel and aluminum, existing counter-tariffs will increase from 25 per cent to 50 per cent to match U.S. rates.
Other existing counter-tariffs, including against U.S. autos, will also continue to apply.
It’s hard to navigate through that paginated list of items but I found wine, beer and spirits are being tariffed at 25%.
So one of the demands from the US was to stop the provincial alcohol boycotts and instead they end up with new tariffs for the few provinces not boycotting US alcohol (Alberta, Saskatchewan).
Even though US booze is still available for sale in Saskatchewan sales are down 40%. With the upcoming tariffs they are likely to decrease more:

For the record, as an Albertan our province may not have been protesting US alcohol, but I don’t personally know anyone buying any.
I made a mistake. USA alcohol had a Canadian import tariff of 25% between March 4, 2025 until August 31, 2025. I guess with the Provincial alcohol bans the feds removed it to avoid retaliation from the USA against our alcohol.
The USA has now put a tariff on Canadian alcohol on Aug 22, 2026 of 50% so as a result Saskatchewan will introduce a provincial 50% tax on USA alcohol starting Sep 8, 2026:
DIGITAL SERVICES from usa MUST be taxed at 500%
I wonder how this will go?
