Yesterday I stood up in the aisle of a plane when it was my turn to do so, turned to remove my backpack from the overhead bin, and was shoved and knocked back down into my row of seats by an older woman who did not want to wait her turn. Her husband yelled "we been waitin'!" as they hustled by me.

Report from today’s road cycling worlds (edition hommes): a small group of Americans started up the much-loathed “USA! USA!” chant near the finish line after McNulty’s win, then cut themselves off seconds later, perhaps realizing they were surrounded by thousands of tolerant-but-barely Canadians. 😅

A big update to an important case: Alaska is dropping charges against a family of American Samoans it had accused of voting crimes. It should not be forgotten that Alaska inflicted enormous hardship and trauma, for years, for a simple, understandable mistake that the state itself helped facilitate.

U.S. tariffs on aluminum and a 2023 provincial recycling deposit contributed to the end of Cott’s Canadian production.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
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.
