The potatoes had a fungus.
The famine was the product of capitalism and British colonialism.
Irish people died because of the second one not the first.
Huge quantities of food were exported while Irish people starved.

Amazing how these things shape history. https://twitter.com/LGJanetAustin/status/1246120146046865408">https://twitter.com/LGJanetAu...

That& #39;s BC& #39;s current Lieutenant Governor - in case you& #39;re wondering.

Also former ED of YWCA.

In case you are wondering about the level of class analysis of the & #39;left& #39; and & #39;progressives& #39; on Canada& #39;s West Coast.

Really annoyed by that tweet& #39;s attempt to rewrite history past and present so...speaking of Irish people and hunger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO1xk-HlSWI&list=PLSzB6gfpKzhV_ovi_VG8FDovrufnqerqS&index=48">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Chaser fact I somehow left off.

She seems to be getting this rewritten history from a book written by Dr. Henry who I assume is the same Dr. Henry that& #39;s handling the #Covid19BC

If this ahistorical take is indeed hers then it is terrifying.

I& #39;m breathing through the rage with music so here& #39;s another song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYH5h-5Dz40&list=PLSzB6gfpKzhV_ovi_VG8FDovrufnqerqS&index=28">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

That& #39;s a @wolfetones song btw - they have quite a few to help counter the mood of that Janet Austin tweet about the Irish Famine.
