Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ».
Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique.
Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes.
Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.

The level of gaslighting we've had in the last 24 hours is absolutely off the charts. You can fuck off with this shit:
- "Cueta is in Africa so it's not really Spain"
Pearl Harbor is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean so it's not really the US then?
- "A lot of them have gone home"
If 60,000 people break into your home and then leave that is better than them all squatting in your home permanently, but they still broke into your house.
- "They're refugees fleeing the climate crisis" (James O'Brien came up with this gem)
No, they're not. If I was fleeing the climate crisis, I'd bring my wife and kids, not 59,999 other men. They want a better life. They can apply for a visa and if they meet our rules, we'll decide which ones we want to accept and which we do not. Otherwise they're queue-barging and can fuck off.
- They can't get from to Cueta to mainland Europe because there's a stretch of water and a border there.
Uhh, we're letting boatloads of illegal immigrants into Britain on the daily. There is absolute no evidence European countries have any desire to enforce their borders.
- It's not a migrant invasion, it's just Morocco doing it on purpose
Oh, it's an *organised* invasion. What a relief.
Fuck my life.

Every football club on earth exists because of this island. 🇬🇧
Kings banned it. The richest schools in England claimed it. They wrote the rules and locked the gates.
Then the working class stole it back.
In 1850, Parliament passed the Factory Act. Work stopped at two on a Saturday. Working men had free time. And they chose football.
Churches formed clubs to keep men out of pubs: Aston Villa, Bolton, Everton.
Factories formed teams from their own workers: West Ham from the Thames Ironworks, Arsenal from a munitions factory.
The FA Cup Final. Blackburn Olympic: weavers, spinners, a plumber. They beat the Old Etonians 2-1. No private school team ever reached the final again.
Then British workers carried it everywhere they went ⚽🌍
Scottish miners in Spain founded its oldest club. A Nottingham lace trader gave Juventus their black and white stripes.
A butcher's son from the same city founded AC Milan. British railway workers in Uruguay named their team after Stephenson's Rocket.
Cornish miners founded Mexico's first football club. A schoolteacher from Kent taught the game to his students in Argentina. His school produced Lionel Messi.
A boy from Southampton brought two footballs to Brazil. They call him the father of Brazilian football.
Real Madrid are said to wear white because of an English amateur team.
From Lancashire cotton mills to every continent on earth.
Three and a half billion people watch football. The most popular sport ever created. And it was created here. By the British people.
Every Saturday, three o'clock. That kickoff time exists because of the Factory Act of 1850. The moment working men were given an afternoon off.
They chose football. And the world followed.
No owners. No sponsors. Just supporters.

Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧
I’m so bloody proud to be English! 🏴 🇬🇧
They STOPPED teaching the 🏴 ANGLO-SAXON 🏴 STORY.
Here’s a brief introduction to it. 🧵
Fifteen hundred years ago, England didn’t exist.
Angles. Saxons. Jutes. Open boats across the North Sea. They carved the island into seven warring kingdoms. ⚔️
But they built. Churches. Laws written in English, not Latin. Shires, your county was drawn by their hands over a thousand years ago.
Then the Vikings came. And nearly ended everything.
By 878, every kingdom had fallen. Every king had fled or died.
Except one. A 28-year-old hiding in a marsh called Alfred.
He fought back. Built fortified towns. Retook London. Wrote a legal code. Translated books into English.
He wanted a nation that could think, not just fight.
His daughter commanded armies. His grandson became the first King of all England. 927 AD. 👑🏴
In 1066, the Normans destroyed them. For 200 years, the English were ruled by people who didn’t speak English.
But the Normans couldn’t kill what the Anglo-Saxons built.
The language survived. The shires survived. The common law survived.
The idea that a king answers to his people.
That survived.
It became Magna Carta. Parliament. The jury. Us.
Every word you’re reading right now is rooted in Anglo-Saxon English.
Next year, England turns 1,100. Most people don’t even know it has a birthday. 🏴
We’re going deeper.
Follow so you don’t miss it. 🇬🇧🙏
What were you taught about the Anglo-Saxons at school? Or were they just… skipped?
