Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ».
Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique.
Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes.
Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.
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.
@abbydphillip what are your thoughts on #Trump “compromising” on #Canada’s northern territories if he “obtains” #Greenland? A compromise to the whole of Canada. Strange times we live in.

@UberEats must be tightening the belt these days. Half of the order was inedible. Complained to Uber Eats who basically said tough luck, there’s nothing we can do. Not a happy customer. I paid Uber Eats for the order, no?? #UberEats#CustomerServiceFail
@nofrillsCA wondering why the parking lot lights are always off at Luciano’s NF on Alberta Ave in Toronto. So unsafe in the darkness in so many ways. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. Why?
@loblawco - at the #StClairWest#Loblaws location last night. 4 ppl not wearing masks & management could not do anything about it . Why does @ShopprsDrugMart, @LCBO locations all seem to have security for this reason and #loblaws does not? 4 ppl putting the whole store at risk😔
@jakepaul you either fight guys way out of their prime or restrict guys from fighting in their natural discipline. Try stepping in the octagon big guy. You and your bro are just circus acts 🤡🤡#UFC
