Climate map shows that Niagara-On-The-Lake has a humid subtropical climate?

According to the edit history that map was uploaded by the user Mhecky on December 10th, 2021. Prior to that the climate maps did not show anywhere in Ontario with a humid subtropical climate. Is this accurate? Is Niagara-On-The-Lake actually subtropical, and if so, how come I can't find any other sources for this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Speyeker (talk • contribs) 22:54, 30 April 2022 (UTC) Speyeker (talk) 20:04, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

It is a hoax by Usee:Mhecky, who has vandalized and abused numerous accounts along with their sock User:Screendeemer. It has been removed and was completely a lie based on a source from a German site of a microclimate in Lake Ontario, not mainland Ontario. Lakersfan89 (talk) 20:11, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

OK...however, the climate map of New York State (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_New_York_(state) ) does actually seem to show some Cfa/Humid Subtropical regions around the New York Niagara region directly adjacent to Ontario, and even the article on Youngstown, New York (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youngstown,_New_York) in that vicinity says it is a borderline Cfa/Humid Subtropical Climate. So even if Mhecky/Screendeemer was a vandal and this was a hoax, it does actually seem like there might be some evidence to support this. 66.23.38.130 (talk) 16:05, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Including the Haudenosaunee Confederacy in the history section

It'd be nice if this article touched more on the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. It probably deserves at least a short subsection. While the confederacy didn't encompass all of present-day Ontario, its largest territorial extent did encompass all of the most populous region of Ontario and it's generally a very historically significant element of the history of the region that continues to exist today. Meanwhile, it's not given much attention here and is largely grouped in with pre-history. 2001:569:FB27:9A00:7891:647B:318:EA76 (talk) 16:01, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I'm (somewhat) working on a rewrite of the History section, and rewrote the pre-history section a few weeks ago, but I'll see what I can do when I get to the other parts. I'm not sure if a subsection is necessary though, since the headers seem to be grouped by years. Maybe a paragraph or two? Idk I'll see how much coverage it needs when I start doing another rewrite.

No Fauna and Flora

I remember when the bombs fell, wiping Ontario clean of all of its native fauna and flora, and sterilizing Canada's most populated province for generations to come. I understand and respect completely Wikipedia's choice to not talk about all of these non-existent animals and plants, for fear of triggering PTSD. Thank you. Safyrr 15:29, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

What are you talking about? Masterhatch (talk) 15:40, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

Just saying the article on Canada's most populated province could use a section on fauna and flora. A lot of other less populated provinces have one, like Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta, New Brunswick, etc. Safyrr 15:45, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

oh, I see. Adding humour to Wikipedia ;) Well, feel free to add that section. Masterhatch (talk) 15:49, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

I may eventually do that, for real, since I started working on lists of fauna and flora for Canadian provinces a few weeks ago. But for the moment, I am just saddened my List of amphibians of Ontario, a memorial list of course, is an orphan, and it has nothing to link to :( #IRememberOntarioFauna #WW3WasAMistake Safyrr 16:08, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

Semi Protection

does this article need semi protection or at least some type of protection? Gosensgo1992 (talk) 14:25, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

Nah it's just one person, and we seem to be on top of it. Canterbury Tail talk 15:12, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

ok, good luck! Gosensgo1992 (talk) 16:15, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
