Lake Ontario's name comes from the Huron Indigenous people's word "oniatarí:io," which means "lake of shining waters." At more than 400yrs. old, the pre-dates both the USA and Canada. The province of Ontario took it's name from the lake. (via CBC News)

For a guy who writes about 'the art of the deal', you'd think he would understand this is just a transaction. Not 'benefits' or 'statehood.' If he doesn't want Canada's oil, potash, electricity, lumber, aluminum & critical minerals, Europe and Asia that will happily & respectfully buy it all.

A landmark trial accuses Meta of deliberately designing Facebook and Instagram to hook young users while misleading the public about safety. Meta denies its products are addictive. Should addictive design features be restricted for kids? And what should happen if the allegations are proven?
