I mean, I think my bigger problem with this is like, that’s not even the right lake to be the “America” lake since it’s part of the Great Lakes, three of which are bigger. Doesn’t even make sense for this to be like, the lake. I get it’s to fuck with the whole booze thing in Ontario but also like, Doug Ford is a rabid piece of shit and “Ontario” is a colonizer name anyway, so I don’t care much about that. I’d rather we just start calling it something more respectful either way.
Edit: lmao, you guys are such fucking colonizers. Have fun with Lake America.
I’m not sure if that’s meant to allude to something. And I see someone’s down voting, is there something I’m not privy to, or is this just typical Canadian pissyness at having the colonialism pointed out?
Not sure about the downvotes or prissiness. I was simply agreeing with you.
Nothing wrong with pointing out the colonialist past and present history of Canada. I think Canada being on a path of truth and reconciliation (albeit flawed and lacking but better than nothing) is probably the biggest turning point to post-colonialism and it’s a massive paradigm shift from pro-colonialism mindsets and it’s relevant branches (race supremacy, imperialism, etc).
Personally, I think Canada should do more to own T&R because it’s literally a homegrown philosophy that can have a positive ripple effect globally.
I really don’t think I’d call largely performative measures “massive,” especially since the current admin is actively eroding land sovereignty rights and openly admits its intent to expand resource extraction operations as an act of Canadian “sovereignty.”
Yeah though, saying they care about it really got the libs feeling comfortable about their benefiting from the genocide.
Yep they I’m sick of that shit being mentioned. I’m jot a colonizer my family wasn’t who the fuck cares. It happened it has happened forever and continues to happen cause humans are shit animals.
Let’s get past it and try to improve stuff instead of blaming everything on the past.
“Humans are naturally violent and evil because I don’t want the mild inconvenience of recognizing the violence of this system without doing anything else at all.”
God, you people are insufferable. Feeling nostalgic for the convoy days, eh?
Don’t worry, just assholes and a platform that defends them by making them invisible. You can sometimes use lemvotes.org to get around it and see if it’s a pattern of behavior you should care about, but it works sparsely. Gotta make the majority of users insecure for the small minority of users who might even abuse it (which they still can if they are dedicated enough).

I believe Ontario is an indigenous name though
It is an anglicized version of a Haudenosaunee name, which was not the only group of nations that had names for the lake.
Oh yeah, definitely anglicized.

But that’s just my 2cents and opinion.

Wow way to show your colors roll it back a bit their bud. Ontario is an indigenous word that has been converted.
Right, did you look up which language it is?
