Le 11 septembre 2001, les États-Unis ont fermé leur espace aérien après les attentats terroristes. Les vols vers les US ont dû changer de route et plusieurs ont atterri au Canada. Sous l’Opération Ruban jaune, Gander (T.-N.-L.) et ses villes voisines ont accueilli 38 avions.

On 9/11 2001, the US closed its airspace after unfathomable terrorist attacks. Flights bound for the US were forced to divert, with many opting to land in Canada. Under Operation Yellow Ribbon, the small town of Gander, NL and the surrounding communities accepted 38 planes.

MapQuest is making a comeback on US app stores after refusing to change Lake Ontario’s name, following President Donald Trump’s executive order rebranding it as Lake America. https://t.co/D5TCU0964Y

We're not changing the name of Lake Ontario. Name it whatever you want at your leisure: https://t.co/E2I0Ezd57W

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.

[👑 ♤ Lake Ontario  @LakeOntario16]

I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters.
In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.

It should be noted that while the eagle thought it won in this photo, after 20 minutes of fighting, the eagle couldn’t kill the Canada goose and it gave up and left.
So good luck with that.

I met a teacher in Georgetown, Ontario, who asked her students to describe their dreams for Canada. This is what they wrote:

New hospital study: air purifiers cut airborne COVID by 98%.
Rooms with HEPA ventilation had zero virus detected.
Clean air is essential public health infrastructure — not a luxury.

Great Aussie school: the radar Canada bought from Aus was meant to go to the U.S. first. but Carney snagged the deal while WH dragged its feet Australia's 'biggest defence export' was meant to go to the US first, but Canada snuck past Donald Trump https://t.co/kWH4NILNlI

Our local radio station in Perth, Ontario now plays the national anthem every day at noon.
I love that and right now, and in this time, it brings a tear to my eye every time.
