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.
Canada tips its hat (and an extravagant wig) to Catherine O’Hara. From Moira Rose’s dramatic diction to Delia Deetz’s chaotic chic and Kate McAllister’s iconic “KEVIN!”, her characters lit up our screens. Thanks for the magic, Catherine. 🇨🇦❤️

Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine.
For three years now, Ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience. Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a fight that matters to us all.
Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.

Dear @ZelenskyyUa, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

I'd rather my money go to the province and profits to health care than to royalties paid to Galen Weston. But @fordnation is gutting this province. #onpoli #lcbostrike

Reports of Alexei Navalny’s death are tragic and horrifying. An unwavering advocate for Russian democracy and freedom, his courage was unparalleled.
To be clear: He should never have been imprisoned to begin with. Let this be an important reminder that we must continue to promote, protect, and defend democracy everywhere. The consequences of not doing so are stark.
I’m sending my deepest condolences to Alexei Navalny’s family – and to all those around the world who had championed his pursuit of justice. Canada remains committed to holding Putin responsible for his actions.

Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country – you are valid and you are valued.
Robert Borden retweeted
The ultra-conservative right has organized nationwide events under the pretext of protecting children, while their true aim is to protest the teaching of 2SLGBTQIA+ content in schools.
Our mission is clear: to counter these protests and demonstrate unequivocally that there is no place for hate within our society. We shall stand together, resolute in our commitment to combat lies and misinformation while championing love, care, and respect.
We are calling upon every CUPE Ontario member to take action, sign up for a protest near you using the link below, and actively spread this message within your community and local union. Mass participation in these protests is essential to our cause.
You can RSVP for the protests via this link: ofl.ca/event/no-space-for-ha…
Together, let's make our presence felt, countering false rhetoric, exposing lies, and proudly declaring that Canada has no tolerance for hate or discrimination. We stand as a united front, strong and unwavering in our commitment to a society built on love, understanding, and acceptance.

Premier Doug Ford states that the Integrity Commissioner found that there was “no influence” from developers.
That’s not true.
The IC report found that two developers had direct conversions with the government about removing their land from the Greenbelt.

Sean O’Shea (@ConsumerSOS) asks a great question: “were these developers your friends?”
And Doug Ford lies his face off.
Remember - Ford claimed that he invited developers to the Stag and Doe and Wedding because they were his longtime friends!!!
Robert Borden retweeted
The Premier and the Minister say they were ‘unaware that the pre-selection of lands for removal from the Greenbelt was biased..’ If that is true, and it is hard to believe, but if it is true it is a complete abdication of responsibility on both their parts.

Every person in Ontario needs to listen to our province’s Auditor General in this video.
It’s corruption in plain sight - Doug Ford is making his friends $8.3 Billion richer while reneging on his promises to protect our Greenbelt, one of Ontario’s greatest natural assets.
Robert Borden retweeted
Ford claims the developers who benefitted to the tune of billions $$ by his government's land rezoning changes aren't his friends and he doesn't go their houses and have a good time.
