<title>Lake Canada (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><blockquote><p>And congratulations to Dr. Claudia for the plan to rename the USA America Mexicana. Humor might just be what it takes get us through the next few years.<br />
<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mexico-president-trolls-trump-us-should-be-renamed-mexican-america/">https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mexico-president-trolls-trump-us-should-be-renamed-mexican-america/</a></p>
</blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><p><br />
A convicted felon wants to continue his felonious acts. At no point does the Gulf of Mexico touch the US. After renaming  it to the Gulf of America, he will then claim that it must be American and seize all of Baja California.</p>
<p>Lake Michigan at no point touches Canada. I suggest we rename it “Lake Canada”. <img src="images/smilies/wink.gif" alt=";-)" title="wink" /></p>
</blockquote><p>Peter Mansbridge (all you Canadians know who he is) reminded us today that the North Sea used to be called the German Sea. The British decided, unilaterally, to change the name to the North Sea during WW1. The world obviously yawned....and went along. Apparently, some maps still refer to it as the German Sea.<br />
So don't bet against The Moron getting his way. It could be worse: I'd be hurling every time it was called &quot;Trump's Gulf.&quot;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While technically it could be called the Gulf of America, since Mexico is part of North America, changing the name seems kind of silly. Since Florida is part of the United States, perhaps we should rid Mar a Lago of its Spanish name and just call it Trump's Toilet.</p>

<title>Uh oh. Back to &quot;Freedom Fries&quot; (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I agree the other two are smarter, but Trump is sneakier. Smart like a fox to get what he wants. His BS with owning Greenland is a tactic to get something else from Greenland/ Denmark. I do not know what it is, but he will get something out of this. And the Gulf of Mexico/ America? haha, well he sure stirred the pot on that one. No one is hurt, but it sure brought out the How Dare You. I thought the reply from President Claudia was perfect. She is smarter than Trump and her reaction was probably respected by Trump. He knows that she can shoot back using the same rhetoric that he uses. I think the two can accomplish a lot behind closed doors but will show a different image to the media.  Pretty smart on both their parts.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&quot;...label their products with the misleading &quot;MADE IN USA&quot;</p>
<p>That  kind of  deceit  is  generally  going to be  hit  with  fraud charges.<br />
Some company (PF Chang) tried to  sell &quot;Krab&quot; (imitation  crab)  but it got  hit  with a  class-action lawsuit. I remember  a  very similar conflict from about  35 years ago, I reckon PF  Chang  imitated the imitators. And then there is &quot;Ray's Pizza&quot;  in NY City. That's a Godfather-like  saga  in itself.</p>

</blockquote><p>Many decades ago, pre-China, (and pre-FOX SNOOZE lies and conspiracies), when everything seemed to be made in Japan, there was a story making the rounds that the Japanese had changed the name of one of their main manufacturing cities to &quot;Usa&quot; so they could label their products with the misleading &quot;MADE IN USA&quot;.</p>
