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.
Chapman's Ice Cream has just done something EVERY Canadian should know.
The largest ice cream company in Canada used to source fruit and nuts from American suppliers — for some, for over 30 years. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products.
So, what did Chapman's do?
📷 They called Italy.
📷 They called Spain.
📷 They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.
And the vice president said it perfectly:
"Even if Trump wakes up smarter than yesterday, we're about to sign long-term deals with other countries — and the American companies that supply them will have nothing but their eyes to cry for."
Oh, and on top of ALL that? They're COLDing their prices so that the average Canadian doesn't have to spend a single cent more.
It's a family business. No shareholders. Just the Chapman family saying: "The least we can do is make sure Canadians still have the means to buy ice cream."
That's what Canadian pride looks like.
Next time you're at the grocery store — grab some Chapman's.
Every scoop of ice cream is a vote for Canada.
President Trump's criticism of Canada has been filled with lies – a remarkable variety of assertions that either wildly distort a kernel of truth or are plain made up. Here's just part of the list, which doesn't include yesterday's nonsense: https://t.co/xa5mtsrnnZ
Reminder to Conservative friends who are opposed to retaliatory tariffs: you ran on imposing dollar for dollar retaliatory tariffs on the US in your election platform last year.
It’s the commitment you gave to voters.
Minister LeGrange managed to clone Alberta doctors so they can work both with profiteers and the public. That's how dual practise doesn't "take away" but "adds to it". This Minister of Health is a disgrace and afront to everyone dedicated to the health of Albertans.
"We can run Alberta as its own country!"
We can't even run a half-baked, politically motivated referendum without Canada's help!
Separatism is a joke. It's a scam. It's just like Danielle Smith & the UCP - a waste of our time & money.
