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.

@JessieTweeting When i was welding we had robots but it required a operator to program on site and have constant over site at a fixed location, crazy to see how things have evolved in the industry in just the past few year!

Right now Kherson is under massive bombardment. FPV attacks have doubled to 600 EVERY DAY. Glide bombs are constant. Entire neighbourhoods are turning to rubble.

Russians are hunting innocent civilians on the streets. Women, children, war crimes in plain sight. They are trying to completely destroy the city. International coverage is almost zero & the situation is catastrophic.

In this report, I embed with a drone patrol that are the city’s first line of defence. What I witnessed was brutality on an industrial scale.

If Russia isn’t stopped, this will spread and Kherson will be a blueprint for cities across Europe in the future. Europe stopped violence like this before in WW2 and it can do it again.

I am fairly lucky in many cases, however Murray raises important concerns about accountability that many of us have raised before. Over the last few months there has been a notable backtrack in public information and access to basic facts that can help many of us better report.

BREAKING: Trump post about the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in an Israeli airstrike this morning on Iran, with his body being found recently among the rubble, Israeli officials tell The Times of Israel.

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

President Donald J. Trump tells NBC News that he believes Iran’s Supreme Leader is dead, following Israeli reports that they had confirmation, stating that, “I’ve spoken to a lot of people. We feel that that is a correct story.”

Insane footage showing multiple interceptors from a U.S. Army MIM-104 “Patriot” Surface-to-Air Missile Battery launching and downing Iranian ballistic missiles earlier tonight during an attack on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, with at least one ballistic missile seen striking the base, reportedly damaging a clinic on Al Udeid.

The Israel Defense Force announced this morning that the remains of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, the final deceased hostage remaining in the Gaza Strip, was discovered and recovered earlier today from a cemetery to the east of Gaza City.

Beginning this past weekend, Soldiers had begun the process of exhuming hundreds of bodies from the cemetery - following a tip from a captured member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) - with forensic experts using dental records, fingerprints, and other tests until they identified the remains of Master Sgt. Gvili.

Following a brief ceremony attended by Israeli Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, the body of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili was returned to Israel. “For more than two years, we have been waiting for this moment, the return of the last hostage,” Zamir said. “The body of Ran Gvili has been found, and with this, in effect, one of our principal missions has come to an end: the return of all the hostages, the living and the fallen, to their homes, to their country, to their families.”

Among the reaction in Davos, it may have been missed, but Mark Carney appears to be shifting a long-standing Canadian strategy in the Arctic.

I explore this change, and what it could mean, in my latest Substack piece: "Carney's shift on NATO in the Arctic".

This type of naval ship is something Canada needs given we have more coastline than any other country and we require the capability to rapidly stage operations in a way these ships can. 1/3

On Dec 8, JRCC Victoria launched a major SAR effort after a Royal Canadian Navy member fell overboard near Bentinck Island, BC. Despite the wind and darkness, multiple CAF, Coast Guard, and USCG assets worked together to locate and recover the member safely. 👏 #SAR #Teamwork

We’re funding work to address the presence of PFAS near 22 Wing/CFB North Bay: an additional $100M for remediation at Jack Garland Airport and up $8.25M for water treatment. https://t.co/qJ4fAGr4HY

The saddest but most consistent Canadian trope is that we demand to be taken seriously as a country, and then immediately become outraged when it turns out you have to spend money on things to be taken seriously as a country.

Went to the Moon twice, flew in space 4 times, commanded Apollo 13 - Jim Lovell has died at 97. A superb, humble and inspiring man. Rest in peace.
