From @avilewis 's first news conference as NDP leader:

"The oil industry in Canada has figured out how to make a barrel of oil with 45% fewer workers in the last decade. That means that the biggest threat to oil and gas jobs in Canada today is automation by the industry itself."

and

"The tens of billions of dollars in windfall profits that the oil industry is looking forward to right now thanks to the oil price shock because of an illegal and reprehensible war, that money is not coming down to the workers."

📖 White Supremacy: A Short History

"Focussing on the English-speaking world, he examines how ideas of whiteness connect to the history of slavery, Enlightenment thought, European colonialism, Social Darwinism and eugenics, fascism and capitalism. Far from being the natural order of things, Broich demonstrates that white supremacy is a brittle concept."

We all know Donald Trump rapes children and is a traitor.

Imagine what we don't know.

No shortage of moral courage in the Spanish government.

Shame about my government - they're cowards.
