Photographed on the Carp River today. I believe these are both Trumpeter Swans?

Agree Trumpeter Swan given how much larger they are than the surrounding Canada Geese. Tundra Swans would appear appreciably closer in size to them.
 
Dto. Also, the very long neck; the straight bill/head profile; the absence of yellow at the base of the bill.
