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.
"Mark Carney and the Canadian government can sign any number of trade agreements, but you can't change what's in the heart of Canadians right now." The damage has been done, and Canadian consumers are refusing anything to do with the U.S.A.

Doug Ford on American complaints over wildfire smoke: "If there's some politicians out there chirping away, well, maybe what you should do rather than complain is send support, send help. Because we have done the exact same thing for our American friends."
In this remarkable image of white supremicists on a subway train in Washington I see cowards afraid to show their faces and a strong woman who shouldn't have to put up with this shit.

110 years ago today, more than 800 Newfoundlanders went into battle at Beaumont-Hamel. More than 700 were killed, wounded, or went missing in a single day. Despite their horrific losses, the Newfoundland Regiment fought in World War I until 1918.
Today, as we celebrate the greatest country on Earth, we remember all those who served and sacrificed so that we could live in freedom and peace.
Someone asked whether I take the photos myself or use others' images. 😁😬
My answer: I never abandoned botany — not even during the war, not even under bombardment. Every single photo you see here is mine. 😅
