Where does the name Lake Ontario come from?
The name "Ontario" has deep roots in multiple First Nations languages and has survived hundreds of years of colonialism.

Trump really just doesn’t care about the impact on anyone other than himself. He sees the world and everyone in it as a reflection of himself.

Watching from up here in Canada I have hope for the future of the US. That said, these midterms are critical to that future.

Could not agree more! Not only did Hillary beat the Orange Atrocity by 2.8 MILLION votes, but Al Gore got 543,895 MORE votes than Bush! The Electoral College allows candidates who received less votes to win the presidency. ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Republicans can gerrymander the living hell out of red states and SCOTUS shrugs. Virginia lets voters decide directly & SCOTUS kills it anyway. Fuck this. Democrats need to stop bringing a rulebook to a knife fight & start playing by the same rules. No war was every won by the side playing fair. .
