It\u2019s not up to him to decide,\u201d said business executive Gilbert Russell, emphasizing the indigenous origin of the lake\u2019s name, given to it \u201chundreds of years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A huge sign was erected Saturday on the shore of Lake Ontario, displaying that name with the words \u201cNow and Always\u201d in French and English.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s be serious.
