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.

I met with Hayden, Henry, Claudia and Kari this spring. I asked them to keep me apprised of their results. I will let you know what their research proves.
I think cover-croppers like us recognize both the drought tolerance as well as the reverse (excess moisture).

Thank you Senator Wallin for recognizing me in the @SenateCA today. It was a tremendous honour to be inducted into the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame yesterday. Agriculture is one of the best industries to work in, and it has been a joy and privilege to be a part of it. Thank you to the OAHF Association for this honour and to my friend and colleague for her kind words. Watch her statement here: youtu.be/nZlwO0pjiyc

We were thrilled to have such a fantastic turnout for our Concept Design Reveal held at the Listowel Golf Club.
This event was an exclusive opportunity for some of our early supporters, advocates & volunteers to view the design and hear from Moriyama Teshima Architects!

Three municipalities in @wellingtncounty have passed resolutions supporting the @SenateCA #AGFO soil health report and/or the 25 recommendations it contains. This morning I attended the County Council meeting to say hi to my former councillor colleagues, and THANKS to @TownofMinto, @TwpWellNorth, and @TwpPuslinchON, because #SoilHealthMatters. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Thank you Minister @CornwallHeath for the opportunity to connect. I look forward to continuing the conversation going forward. #AgricultureMatters
Last week it was great to catch up with @SenatorRobBlack and learn more about the important work he's doing on soil health in Canada. Healthy soil is the foundation of strong agriculture.

This evening, I rose in the @SenateCA to speak to @SenatorSalma's Bill S-221, An Act to provide for the recognition of the Canada Jay as the national bird of Canada. It was great to highlight this fascinating bird that represents Canadians so well! Watch my speech and learn about the Canada Jay: youtu.be/l42YwISfW08

This morning, I was glad to participate in a panel discussion and speak to the critical need to #SaveSoil in all parts of the world through highlighting the #AGFO soil health report and my @SenateCA Public Bill S-230.

Thanks to the Wellington County Historical Society for asking Playwright Dale Hamilton to perform her one-woman show ‘She Won’t Come in from the Field” today, at their spring public meeting. The @SenateCA #AGFO Soil Health Report ‘Critical Ground’ features prominently in the play! Soil health advocate Don Lobb and I engaged with the group after, about soil health in Canada. @LandForFood #AgricultureMatters
Dale Hamilton performed her one woman show, “She won’t come in from the fields”, to highlight urgency to protect soil & farmland. Hosted by Wellington Historical Society at the Wellington County Museum & Archives. Great discussion afterwards with @SenatorRobBlack & Don Lobb.
Congratulations @SenatorRobBlack on receiving the Ontario P.Ag.(Hon) designation by the OIA. WELL DESERVED!!

60 Minutes was drop down incredible again this week. Scott Pelley segment leading off with Zelenskyy interview is powerful, must watch. Caught up last night. Again, appreciate 60 Minutes with its massive audience bravely shining light on the truth. Pls find, watch and share.

It is untenable for Canada's major media to all be owned by America - something allowed by Harper.
When I say nationalization and seizure on national security grounds - I'm not kidding and I'm not being hyperbolic.
The PostMedia Sun chain does the bidding of its American owner.
