The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

No jets at Billy Bishop. Doug Ford tried to force this on Toronto. Toronto said no, loud and clear. Thank you to every single person who filled out the survey, signed a petition, and showed up. This victory belongs to all of you. When people stand together, we win. And thank you to MPPs Chris Glover, Kristyn Wong-Tam and Alexa Gilmour, who fought this from day one.

I want to thank the Prime Minister and the Minister of Transportation for listening to the people of Toronto. Thank you to everyone who spoke out, shared your voice, and stood up for our community. Your relentless advocacy has made a difference. Now that this expansion is not moving forward, we are calling on the Province to return the City’s land. Together, we can continue working to build a waterfront for future generations, with new parks, housing and more.
