Pierre Damas Bel was a physiology and neuroscience student at Wright State who had dreams of going to medical school. He was a bright student and cherished community member.

After the Supreme Court allowed Trump to rescind temporary protected status for Haitians, Pierre and dozens of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio were forced to wear ankle monitors. Those close to him say he felt humiliated, was bullied for it, and “treated like an animal.”

ICE’s cruelty is killing people.

President Trump is attempting to eradicate our history.

Outraged, appalled, shocked: there are no other words to describe how I feel following President Trump’s decision to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.”

For our Nation, the name Ontario embodies history, culture, and identity. To call this name into question is an abhorrent and unspeakable act. Just like his presidency, this name change once again sows confusion and strikes a direct blow to the very heart of our Wendat identity.

Although we are unfortunately faced with a fait accompli resulting from a U.S. executive order, we refuse to remain silent. In this regard, the U.S. Consul General in Quebec City has confirmed to me that I will meet with the U.S. Ambassador to Canada in the coming days.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has assured us that Lake Ontario will never be renamed in Canada. In this context, I commend his respect for our history, our language, and our identity.

Let us remember that the word Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontarïio’, meaning “the lake is beautiful, great.”
