"Liberals are all atwitter over President Donald Trump changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America.
Now, while they want to focus on that, what they don’t want to address is the issues that have led to the trade problems with Canada – or what needs to be done to resolve them. They just want to use the issue to attack President Trump.
That’s why Bill Maher’s take on the issue on his HBO show “Real Time” on Friday was so funny. He leveled liberals over their take, and hoisted them with their own petard.
“Trump is so mad at Canada, he renamed Lake Ontario ‘Lake America,'” Maher said. “Now I have to buy a new globe again!” he joked.
“Liberals are very pissed at this. They say you can’t just go around renaming to suit your political agenda. Just ask any Latinx birthing person.”
The audience loved it, and he’s exactly right. The liberals’ beliefs are incoherent and inconsistent. "
"The most formidable challenges facing establishment Democrats in November’s midterms are the success of far-left, socialist, or progressive candidates in primary elections and mainstream Democrats’ surrender to that wing of the party.
Alongside advocating for an agenda that is radical in its drive to reshape America – and is broadly unpopular – the DSA’s influence has left Democrats on the wrong side of an issue that the party has been hobbled by in the past: transgender policies.
Simply put, the DSA’s strong opposition to legislation banning biological males from competing in women’s sports has come to define where the national Democratic Party stands, much to its detriment.
And while this problem did not suddenly become an issue – Democrats had been trending this way for years before the 2024 election – it is only getting worse and will continue to do so…
Make no mistake, Democrats are on the wrong side of the transgender debate given public opinion.
According to Gallup’s May 2025 survey, roughly 7 in 10 (69%) Americans – including 72% of independents and a plurality of Democrats – believe transgender athletes should only be allowed to play on sports teams that match their gender at birth.
This issue will continue to dog Democrats for as long as they push it.
Only when they have lost enough races because of it, will they begin to see the light.
Until then, the public must keep reminding them how out of step they are with the majority."
Some schools in Canada have implemented policies, such as creating "no food" zones, to accommodate Muslim students fasting during Ramadan, which has sparked controversy and debate about fairness to non-Muslim students. These measures aim to support religious observance but have faced criticism for potentially isolating students who do not share the same beliefs.
