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.
For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.
Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

@LizLatcherie@cspotweet Nice solidarity substitute teacher. Most of the teachers who you work with are incredibly disheartened and frustrated this evening. Pretty inconsiderate to celebrate while your co-workers feel so low.
It all starts with a strong public education system—without it, we have nothing. To every educational support worker and ally on the picket lines, thank you for standing up and fighting back.
@RajanJSaw The Renert school doesn't support learners with learning disabilities. They lack basic community values of inclusion, screening out students who show signs they require support.
Many of your constituents have unequal access to the programming and impressive spaces you saw.
The origin of each provincial and territorial flag, a historical thread!
British Columbia:
With the Royal Union flag on top, the wavy lines represent B.C.'s location between the Pacific & the Rockies.
The setting sun symbolizes BC's place as the westernmost province.

May I recommend Kids these days by the talented @DrJCarrington or Teachers these days by the Dr. Carrington and @lauriesmcintosh
@isda1979 You are living the unimaginable. One minute, one hour, one day at a time. Breathe. And know strangers like me are thinking of you and picking up the fight, enraged on your behalf, livid at drunk drivers, and will vote for harsher penalties in memory of your beautiful family.
