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.

The carbon tax paid c.80% of citizens more than it cost us. Only the wealthiest polluters were out of pocket. Cancelling it expressly benefits the wealthy while impoverishing the rest of us.

Plus, we need more robust climate policy, not less of it.

Once you understand why, you might prefer $10,000
