Life's tough for a socialist in London.... le sigh.
There's been some great names suggested already, but here's a few ideas about London: - It's on the fork of the Thames River, so anything to do with rivers
- It's known as the "Forest City", so anything to do with forrests/trees
- It's major employers are the Labbatt Brewery, London Life (insurance,) GM's Electro-Motive Deisels (locomotives,) General Land Dynamics (military vehicles,) 3M (Canadian HQ,) and the biotech and life sciences industries
- It has a military reserve base and many war memorials
- Sports teams from London include:
- It is the home of such notable people as Dr. David Suzuki, Eric Lindros, and Rachel McAdams
- Sun Media holds a monopoly on news media, so we get to see the world through the eyes of Americans
