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.

~100k drivers on the Gardiner disrupted for construction -> rapid and aggressive political action

~1 million riders on the subway dealing with horrendous slow zones -> barely anything

[Bruce @BrucewMitchell]

Do Torontonians have the right to govern themselves or not? Does the entire province get to weigh in on every municipal decision, big or small and veto if they don’t like it? #onpoli #topoli

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

There were 63 million trips by bike in Toronto in 2025.

If you think bike lanes cause congestion, wait until you see the congestion bikes cause without bike lanes.

A bike lane on my daily commute is now being dangerously removed. So I, too, will take the traffic lane, as I am entitled to do.

A remarkably stupid situation.

[Chris Glover @chrisglover]

Doug ford attacks the democratic rights of Torontonians.

The Ontario Court of Appeal decided that Doug Ford can overrule the city council decision and rip out bike lanes.

This is not just about bike lanes. It's an attack on Torontonians' right to elect a Mayor and Council to make decisions for us.

Doug ford was elected be the Premier of Ontario, not the Mayor and Council of Toronto.

[Mayor Olivia Chow 🇨🇦 @MayorOliviaChow]

As Mayor, I have been working to negotiate with the province to find a path forward that keeps every road user safe - pedestrians, cyclists and drivers alike. Disappointing to see a member of Council undermine the City's right to determine its own future and repeatedly side with provincial overreach.

Here are before and after pics of Toronto’s new waterfront park. It was transformed from a hellish landscape of decay, oil tanks, gravel and asphalt to a vibrant, living space for people, plants and wildlife. Bravo @WaterfrontTO

American tankers do NOT travel those waters. No one does. The Hecate Strait is the most dangerous sea passage in Canada. American tankers travel outward from Alaska into the Pacific Ocean, steering widely clear of it. There has been a ban in place for 54 years. Pierre knows this.

[Joshua Bailey @JoshuaBailey184]

The rise of an explicit oligarch class, political leaders shamelessly using public office as a means of self-enrichment, a decline in living standards, rising inequality & deaths of despair, a collapse in cultural output, truly America is becoming 1990s Russia

Canadian media is not what most think.
It’s not just about foreign media. Time to reup my earlier post.

Canadians are lobsters in a propaganda pot. CBC, for all its faults is the only independent and truly Canadian media.

Canadian media is influenced by 5 billionaire families and a US (Trump MAGA) hedge fund. Billionaires being Rogers, Shaw, Thomson, Bitove and Peladeau who respectively own / control / influence:
✔️ Rogers media
✔️ Corus Entertainment
✔️ Globe & Mail, Bell Media, and
✔️ Thomson/Reuters
✔️ Toronto Star, and
✔️ Quebecer Media, including
✔️ Journal de Montreal

These are not “mainstream”, they’re all monied special interests with collective family wealth exceeding $100 billion. These interests plus US hedge fund Chatham Asset Management collectively own 85% of Canadian media, including TV and Radio stations of any significance. PostMedia alone is a big part of that.

Chatham controls PostMedia through a special two thirds ownership structure. Chatham also owns US media AMI / National Enquirer. The link from Chatham to Trump indirectly is David Pecker at AMI.

So it’s a Trump MAGA aligned, CPC propaganda operation ever since Harper approved this years ago. Pecker used to be on the PostMedia board and is Trump’s media man.

PostMedia is playing a big role in Trump’s 51st play. Which seems to be Harper’s Christian (Church) Reform Party’s end game. Yes that would be the so called CPC.

Yet, even worse, algorithm driven social media are viral distributors of the “Canadian” and foreign media too! They’re owned by mega billionaires, including Zuckerberg and Musk, with combined wealth measured now in trillions.

So media generated content is then filtered and run via social media algorithms geared to foreign influence, their own special interests and clickbait profits.

These players are likely first order CPC “owners”, funders and disinformation operatives, beyond their controlling interests in our media.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Edmonton is and always will be a vital part of Canada. Premier Smith and the UCP Government's separatist agenda is catastrophic for Edmontonians, Albertans, and all Canadians.

[Eric Bell @eric_bellMB]

The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour Supreme Court decision of 2015 gave Canadian workers the constitutional right to strike. We should be removing designations of essential services and not adding more. Any expansion must be fought against and defied if necessary.

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Arlene Dickinson: "It was so obvious to me once I started to put them together that there is a pattern here that is very troubling, that is very evident, that there are people trying hard to create narrative for separatism, a method for separatism."

[Alberta Federation of Labour @ABFedLabour]

🚨 BREAKING: A new report commissioned by the AFL has confirmed Alberta is now the epicentre of disinformation in Canada— largely driven by direct foreign interference.

This is a five-alarm fire.

29% of Albertans now rank as "highly disinformed"— nearly DOUBLE the national average. No other province comes even close.

Russian state media, MAGA operatives, and AI content farms are targeting Albertans.

They want to divide us, and our governments are doing nothing about it.

I’m sure there are real people within this movement -but let me be clear - the vast, vast majority are simply the same accounts re-started from a year ago - all with matching vernacular and hashtags and messaging. It’s a sham - it’s fake - and ppl should check “signatures”. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
