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.

Why Are New Construction Starts Falling Off A Cliff In Ontario & BC? And Why Won't Government Acknowledge It
The "Why" Starts are cratering isn't complicated I have been posting about for months but "Why" no Government comment? It's so scary for them
Because it's fatal

If you want to understand a huge divide in Toronto and WHY people are so hyped about the Ontario Line look at the main transit project Toronto built in the 2010s (Eglinton Crosstown) vs. the main one for the 2020s (Ontario Line). Not to mention we needed the OL for decades!

This Video Is Ridiculously FALSE
I Believe The Housing Minister is an intelligent, well intentioned person
Virtually every word is false with the possible exception of "and" & "the"
The falsehoods:
1) Millions of Renters want to buy homes..... except they're unaffordable

6 storeys next to a house is fine. We do not need to overthink and overplan this.

It's like we figured out how to unlearn transit service...

It’s hard to imagine a much better metaphor for Canada’s approach to public space than commissioning an art piece of a pile of unusable chairs

We can’t let city staff ruin a great thing. #CafeTO is a legacy of the pandemic that actually made Toronto more enjoyable. @BravoDavenport - please help our bar, café and restaurant owners with their patios, regardless of ward boundaries #TOpoli
After months of waiting we learned today @cityoftoronto has denied our #CafeTO patio at Bar Volo this year. We are disappointed by the news after having a patio for 3 years w. no issues. There needs to be more support for small businesses creating culture & community in our city!
Today is #McGill24 - for the occasion I found my student card from the year 2000! Donate to the McGill Student Emergency Support fund @McGillAlumni

What's REALLY Different Today Versus The 1990 Real Estate Price Drop? Banks Can Save You
In 1990 in Ontario we experienced effectively the same thing as today: after a WILD price run-up 1985 - 1989 Interest Rates soared and all hell broke loose
Very similar to now
