like we ever talk about quebec let alone canada down here

I dunno, your president guy has been talking about annexing Canada a lot this term. And the reduced travel from Canada has been one of the topics in this werido "trade war" we seem to be in. So at least on a federal level it seems like y'all are talking about Canada.

That said, I think this meme is in reference to Trump's trade offer that would have allegedly weakened Canadian French somehow, which Trump refutes.

P.S. Lake America? Really? Might as well rename Lake Erie to Lake Creepy while he's at it.

P.P.S. The name “Ontario” is derived from the Huron word “Ontarí’io,” which means “great lake” or “beautiful water.”, so the province is named because of the lake(s) and not vice-versa. Here's more on that if anyone is interested.

I wish we kept our indigenous names. Tacoma or Tahoma means "Snow Covered Mountain." Waaaaay better than Mt. Rainier.

You can blame Captain George Vancouver for that. Same for Mt. Baker and a whole bunch of stuff up the Pacific coast of British Columbia. It seems like if you ever even served George a sandwich you'd get a mountain or lake name after you by him.

But why did we listen? We didn't have to.

Lake Inferior has a nice ring.
