Here's an idea for the American politicians trying to entice Canadians to spend our money in a land of gangster fascism:
Offer free burner phones so we won't be thrown in detention for our social media posts.
OR,
We could say hell no, we ain't travelling to the USA.

On Oct. 14, 1942, the SS Caribou was transporting 46 crew and 191 civilian and military passengers to Port aux Basques, Newfoundland.
Suddenly, the German submarine U-69 emerged and hit the ship with a torpedo. The sinking killed 137 people.
This is the story.

🧵 1/12

Black and white photo of a ship named "Caribou" docked at a pier, with two men in suits standing on the dock nearby. The ship has a prominent bow and a single smokestack, with ropes securing it to the pier. The scene appears historical, with a railway track running along the dock.

Madeleine Parent spent her life helping others.
A union leader in Quebec, she was vilified by the provincial government who tried to jail her several times. Later in life, she focused on women's rights.
This is her amazing story.
