Reply to comment by errorwrong in Canada's Ontario to extend gas, fuel tax cut for a year by davidlee93

There's an Ontario (city) in like 7 states including California so just putting Ontario CA can be confusing.
Fun fact: Ontario California was named after Ontario Canada by the Chaffey brothers who established the town after moving from Ontario Canada
