Anne Frank & Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were born in 1929. Viola Fletcher, who just died this week, was already 15 when they were born.

But while we were just with Ms. Fletcher days ago, Anne Frank & Dr King are portrayed as ancient history.

Remember, "The past is never dead. It's not even past.”

While renewables have become the cheapest power on earth, Ontario is pouring billions into massive nuclear projects that cost three to four times as much. That decision will lock ratepayers into decades of the most expensive electricity available.

Ontario is doubling down on costly, high-risk nuclear mega-projects while electricity prices climb and cheaper clean energy options are sidelined. Billions in public subsidies now hide the true costs....

The result of these actions is only to add to the cycle of hardship.

The lecture was recorded 4 weeks ago in front of 500 people in the BBC Radio Theatre.

The first time terrorists used planes to attack Americans wasn’t on 9/11 or at Pearl Harbor. It was the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 when white supremacists flew a dozen planes to drop turpentine or nitroglycerin bombs on Black Americans.

Viola Fletcher was there.
