I was a guest in a Muslim house of worship and showed respect for the people who welcomed me.
That used to be standard in this country before you came along.
I’ll never apologize for treating people of any faith with dignity, no matter how Islamophobic you and your enablers are.

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.
