Bruce

The article lists Bruce as the largest nuclear power station in the world, but I think it should be the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant in Japan as the largest. Bruce has a larger campus, but not a larger electricity production capacity, which I think is a better criteria for ranking size. Bruce would be second in the world by that criteria.Reesorville (talk) 03:02, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The States that Border Ontario

I think Ontario is a cool place and I really like what this article says about it. However, regarding the U.S. states that border Ontario to the south, I feel like Wisconsin is wrongfully excluded from the five other states on the border. At one point, WI actually did border ON, but due to historical border disputes, it lost its territory to the north. As it is, Ohio and Pennsylvania barely border Ontario being on the north shore of Lake Michigan, albeit unobstructed by other states, rather than touching land. Furthermore, Wisconsin is more culturally similar to Ontario and Canada as a whole than both of those states, citing maple syrup production, hockey enthusiasm and lumberjack culture (at least generically speaking). I could be misunderstanding this situation as being more unfair than it is, indeed I have met several Canadians who live here. However I feel like WI is closer to Ontario (not to mention at about the same latitude as bordering Michigan and Minnesota) than the Lake Erie states. I'm not saying the article should be changed so that Wisconsin is listed next to its neighbors to the east and west (although I have tried to do that myself), but it would be nice if people who read this page thought of WI as part of the states that technically border Canada. To anyone who considers Wisconsin a Canada-bordering state (including you friendly Canucks), I sincerely appreciate that, as do many other Wisconsinites.

  • Hi Wiscipidier! While I understand your affinity for Ontario, content in Wikipedia must be verifiable. This means that we should be able to point at a reliable source to support every claim we make in the encyclopedia. If you want to add that Ontario borders Wisconsin, you need to find a book, journal or newspaper which says so. Since the claim is obviously somewhat controversial, you need to make sure it's a top quality source, and probably provide two or three sources to be safe.

Official language

This article currently states that the province's official language is English. However, this is only a half-truth, because, at the sub-provincial level, the city of Ottawa designated French as co-official as of 2017.
