Every day $1bn worth of goods crosses the river dividing Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, two largely blue-collar US and Canadian cities that have come to act as one in the creation of North America’s auto industry.
News this week of Donald Trump’s escalating trade spat with Canada has everyone worried. Political and economic leaders and observers labeled the move an act of “hubris” , blamed Trump’s “ego”, and called the escalation “insanity”.
In the final deal, Canada should demand lake name needs to be changed back. So petty.
The lake name never changed for anyone except the US Federal government.
For somebody who lived through Bush changing french fries to freedom fries it’s really weird to see people act like Trump can actually do this.
Yeah. Me too.
Today they would be Freedoom Fries.
In 10 years there’s going to be a post like “TIL the US officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario during Donald Trump’s second term, but then everyone ignored and forgot about it”
They didn’t though, the legislation never got passed by the Senate.
