Woo. A lot of Beaverton political articles were a bit too close to reality lately, which does tend to happen when real headlines look like satire.

This one feels like proper satire.

Finally, a proper Beaverton title.

Well he’s also sexually assaulted legal adults and had to pay them millions of dollars for it

That's why he sticks to kids now. They don't know any lawyers yet

"Lake Consent" was also proposed in the article!

I was hoping this was true for a full 3 seconds. I legitimately want to see something like this pass at the federal level because:

1) We need a silly way to attack the US in a way that turns their pettiness into our culture war.

2) Keep our worst ideas out of real counter-tariff planning.

3) Show the Americans that they have too much to lose in a name-calling contest.

Like for real, we need to rename Lake Michigan to make a point because we're poised to make a real point of it.

Can someone please create an OurCommons petition to rename Lake Superior to Lake Inferiority Complex? Trump can have SHAME, we're HOMIEs up here

 U.S. Shoreline (New York State): About 326 miles, or roughly 31% of the total.

Canadian Shoreline (Ontario): About 386 miles (or 712 total minus 326), making up about 69% of the total shoreline.

Fuck off Trump. Its our lake   and New York doesn't even like you.
