Ha! You gave me a smile with that one. Few except old-time Torontonians know this, but I am one, and there was actually a “New Toronto.” It was absorbed into Mississauga back in the 1960s. And “new Canadians” was what we called recent immigrants, back in the day.

And Lake Ontario will always be Lake Ontario. Otherwise, Gordon Lightfoot will have to rewrite “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” and he’s dead, so that’s not gonna happen.

How soon before Trump tries to rename Saskatoon “America North,” because he cannot pronounce “Saskatoon”?

Well only Trump would have such tiny gilded balls to do that. Disgusting.

It really looks like he wants to rule the world.

Donald has a MASSIVE subservient streak. What else could account for his saluting that North Korean general?

Other people’s power excites him, and he can’t quite keep himself from displaying his admiration.

His black-hole desperation is also shown in the recently-released taxpayer-paid ad for…himself. Which plays to a soundtrack screaming LOVE ME…LOVE ME…LOVE ME…LOVE ME…LOVE ME…
