“We weren’t trying to make a political statement,” Smith reportedly said. “However, we were, you know, kind of poking fun at the fact that you know one of the Great Lakes’ names were getting changed.” Lives in Michigan. Intentionally modified a family photo to have them all in “Lake America” shirts. Then posted it publicly specifically calling out that Canadians wouldn’t like it, and laughing about that. Some people seem pretty unaware of what a political statement is.

Canadians are our brothers and sisters. Fuck these Americans in particular that bully our closest ally.
