Working Class History#OtD 17 Mar 1942 communist and member of the Yugoslav resistance in Croatia, Nada Dimić, was executed in the Stara Gradiska concentration camp for helping people escape fascists into partisan areas and shooting a Ustasha agent https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8908/nada-dimi%C4%87-executed
Avi LewisToday, the Carney government joined the Conservatives and the Bloc to defeat Jenny Kwan’s No More Loopholes Bill — legislation that would have stopped Canadian weapons sent to the U.S. from being used to fuel the genocide in Gaza.
It’s a deeply shameful vote that suggests they would rather appease Trump than protect vulnerable civilians.
But this moment also shows why voices like Jenny Kwan and her colleagues in the NDP caucus matter so much. They continue to champion human rights, peace, and international justice with courage and persistence, even when few others in Parliament will.
Millions of Canadians share that vision. They want Canada to be a force for peace, not a junior arms dealer.
This is exactly why our country needs the NDP.

Chuck DarwinThe two relics of exploding stars are black holes and neutron stars.
Both were discovered by women.
Jocelyn Bell discovered neutron stars, in the guise of “pulsars”, in 1967.
Since then, three Nobel prizes have gone to male scientists for their work on pulsars, but none to Bell.
Louise Webster, the co-discoverer of black holes, has been largely forgotten.
Unless, of course, you remember her name.
