Regarding the naming of Lake Ontario, some individuals argue that the lake should be renamed "Lake America" due to the lack of historical and cultural knowledge among certain Americans and Donald Trump. They suggest renaming the lake with Indigenous names, such as Lake Humility, to honor the rich heritage of the region.

While acknowledging the educational value for many, the author suggests that renaming all the Great Lakes could lead to confusion, resulting in the initial "SHAME" when placed together. The author also notes that Trump's focus on the lake's name highlights the administration's preoccupation with other matters, such as wars, natural disasters, and economic issues.

Lastly, the author praises Premier Wab Kinew, Education Minister Tracy Schmidt, and the Manitoba government for implementing mandatory physical and health education in the province's high schools. The new curriculum provides 110 hours of structured instruction in Grades 11 and 12, promoting lifelong well-being and reducing future health costs. The author appreciates the commitment to youth fitness, health, and wellness but calls for sufficient resources to ensure the program's success.
