I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters. In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.

The pork industry lost with voters. Lost at the Supreme Court. So they turned to Congress—and got the "Save Our Bacon" Act buried in the House Farm Bill. It's the biggest rollback of animal welfare protections in U.S. history. A thread. 🧵

What a way to end 2025! On December 31, PC Stubbington from #ArmstrongOPP spotted something truly special while on patrol - a family of five Canada lynx: two adults and three kittens. Encounters like this are a reminder of how incredible our northern wildlife really is, and how much happens in the forests around us that we rarely get to see. A perfect final highlight for the year. Here’s to more moments of wonder in 2026!^tw #northwestopp #northernontario
