Statute or statue?

That’s what I mean by proper name, yeah. Nobody with half a brain cares what a senile, neon orange, pants-shitting, incompetent, disgusting human piece of garbage says.

Makes sense, that’s probably around the time they became evil.

Google Maps in Canada has retained the proper Lake Ontario name (so far).

Lol, especially funny because Google’s motto quite literally used to be, “Don’t be evil.” And they apparently even use that phrase in their company code of conduct.

It really doesn’t sound like you know much about Canada or Canadians. Very much a “shit Americans say” comment.

I’m a Canadian but I strongly suspect the US will never fully recover from where they are now. Even just consider international relations - Trump has irreparably damaged America’s relationship with Canada. I seriously doubt Canada will ever fully trust the USA again.

A stark contrast to 10 years ago when we had one of the strongest allied relationships on the planet.

It’d sure be nice if a country (like the US, for example) would step up and lead the way, though. One country outputting nearly half of global emissions is pretty insane when you think about it. Somebody has to set an example and take the lead. The US would be a fantastic country to take on that mantle.

But… we all know they won’t - likely even with a president who isn’t a senile whackjob with dementia. Instead, we see things like the US pulling out of the Paris accord. We’re witnessing an active disinterest in solving this issue.

Sure, I bet we can keep it from getting worse. I’ll be here waiting patiently for some billionaire corpo to decide to do something for the environment over profits while we keep using our paper straws. I might nod off so wake me up when it happens.

What actions are being taken though - by the people who can actually make a difference? Governments are reversing to mining coal. Trump is illegally drilling Greenland for oil. Like, what actions are actually being taken for our great grandchildren?

Many scientists say it’s too late. That’s my point.

We’re talking about human-accelerated climate change here. We’re not talking about naturally-occurring events.

I hate to burst anybody’s bubble but we’ve seen these exact headlines for decades. It’s become increasingly clear that those who can make a real difference with climate change are not interested in doing so.

We’re already irreversibly fucked as a planet.
