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.

@hanwaddingham It’s SO GOOD. Watched it twice (so far). Expected laughs and tension, did not expect to be weeping by the final episode!!

Oh, be careful, Merriam-Webster, lest we suffer vertigo from the dizzying heights of our lexical ground.

@erikkain Fully agree here. Juno Temple was phenomenal in this and it’s time for her to be recognized on a larger scale.

@nerdypursuit I had goosebumps from 10 seconds in. Hair standing on end. Absolutely incredible. The Democratic Party has a very bright future.

@realgirl_fieri I’m SO not a morning person so I make the AM dog walk as easy as possible: I clip a house key to her leash so no searching for them, prep my morning walk smoothie the night before, slip-on shoes so I don’t even have to do up laces.

@sophpen Growing up, there was a school being built in the field behind my best friend’s house. We would go play in the construction site after the workers would leave for the day. Parents 100% knew. The school opened when I was 10 so this would’ve been age 8-9.

Today, we’re sharing again our reading lists of Muslim authors.

Reading (and listening) to authors who may have a background different from our own can help us better understand and share in the feelings of others. And reading great stories by terrific authors is a pleasure. 1/

More than 14,000 Canadians landed at Juno Beach on June 6, 1944. Each one of those men knew they may never come home.

On the eve of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we are in Normandy, France to honour these heroes.

@FutureWomen You’re in pretty good company here @hanwaddingham
