My position is clear: I am unequivocally opposed to any new fossil fuel development — including LNG.
We must have the courage to say this to every government, of any stripe: if you’re building new pipelines or fossil infrastructure, this shall not pass.

Canada actively supported the British war against the people of Kenya, supplying F-48 Sabre fighter jets and a host of military and police supports. A Winnipeg cop named John Timmerman tortured Kenyan prisoners in Nairobi earning the nickname "the Himmler of Kenya."
#OtD 18 Nov 1953 the British Royal Air Force began aerial bombing of Kenya in an effort to crush the "Mau Mau" anti-colonial insurgency. Over the next year and a half they dropped nearly 6 million bombs on the country stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9039...
