Dia de Los Inocentes

Quien queda con ganas de hacer alguna inocentada después de la semana pasada?

Después del oso de Miss Universo, ya no hay ninguna motivación! Totalmente inalcanzable!

Miss Universe: No joke

Si "Errar es Humano", es sorprendente la infinita humanidad del presentador del concurso de Miss Universo Steve Harvey...

Será que su futuro como presentador se verá afectado?

The Land of the Free...?

A very unsettling image...


Cambio de Presidente en Argentina

Con la llegada de Mauricio Macri al poder, terminan 12 años de la época Kirchner... Uno de los periodos más desafortunados en la historia de ese gran país.

El sentimiento general es de optimismo y alegría.... Bien por Argentina!

Reactions to Trump's "Muslim Plan"

It is clear that for Trump his media strategy is working pretty well... The news coverage he receives keeps growing after every outrageous comment he makes...

However, some news agencies are getting fed up with his "views"...

Here are two great examples, one from the Philadelphia Daily News and one from the New York Daily News...

Trump and his politics of FEAR

Is this how Donald Trump "wants to make America great again"?

What is more unsettling than Trump's comments, is that there are some people actually buying what he says...

Scary!!


John Lennon

December 8... In a cold December evening 35 years ago today, John Lennon was shot and killed...

He always praised for Peace in an ideal world... I wonder how disappointed he would be, seeing the world today...

Rest in piece, John...

























IMAGINE

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

PARIS... 11-13-15

I had the rare opportunity to be in Paris just a few days after the terrorist attacks...

This video gathers some of the pictures I took at Place de la Republique, the place where the victims where honoured...



Being there just one week after the attacks, in a rainy afternoon, was a very emotional experience....

Pray for Paris... Pray for the world...

WHO Health Warnings

According to the recent studies of the World Health Organization, there is enough evidence to determine that living will eventually cause death...

We apologize...

Canadians are known for being very apologetic...

"I am sorry" is one of the most common expressions you can hear, even in situations where no apology is called for...

However, there is one thing in the world for which Canadians will never apologize enough... And that is JUSTIN BIEBER...

So, on behalf of Canadians, WE ARE SORRY!


Un Nuevo Capítulo para Bogotá...

Buena suerte al Alcalde Peñalosa en su ardua labor de recuperar a Bogotá...


Who is afraid of the Big White Car?

It is Halloween... The time of the year when people celebrate scary things...

This is definitely a growing fear all over the world...

A Trump Moment?

After listening to the latest comments of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in regards to the role of Palestine in the Jewish Holocaust, you realize that for some of the powerful leaders of the world, thinking before speaking is becoming a thing of the past...

Time to look back...

Democracy in its highest form...

Congratulations to our new Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau!

Halloween Election...

How appropriate for the Consevative Party to have the election just before Halloween...

In many ways, it is the perfect season for Mr. Harper's way of doing politics...

Justicia Transicional

Por si aun no tienen claro cómo va a funcionar la famosa Justicia Transicional que se aplicará después de la firma del Proceso de Paz...


I AM CANADIAN

Freedom of choice... One of the reasons why Canada is a great country!

Good for the Federal Court in the ruling in favor of Zunera Ishaq and the Niqab issue... A great defeat for Harper's Government and their Politics of fear ...

Attack in Kundus: A senseless tragedy...


More than 10 years of the war in Afganisthan... And terrible tragedies like the absurd bombing of the   hospital in Kundus still happen...

Our prayers are with the innocent victims and  with the Staff of Doctors Without Borders who perished in this attack...

These are some examples of abstract reasoning to better explain the differences...

Federal Court ruling on Niqab at citizenship ceremonies

Niqab Ruling

Canada is about freedom... And that is why the Federal Court last week dismissed the federal government appeal over banning the Niqab at the citizenship ceremonies... This is definitely a major blow to Stephen Harper's radical position on the matter.

Another terrible shooting...

The recent events in Tennessee are quite disturbing...

Another senseless deaths...

But listening to all the theories on the media, one can't help to wonder... When are these terrible episodes considered mental health issues and when these are something else?

Donald Trump Net Worth is 10 billions...

I guess funding his campaign will not be one of his worries...

As Lord Acton (1834-1902) said:

"POWER TENDS TO CORRUPT AND ABSOLUT POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY "

Donald Trump

Donald Trump is leading the polls to be the official candidate of the GOP…

What can be more scaring than that?

In his own words…”people love me”…

His political view can be summarized as follows, using his own responses to CNN interview…

Border Control: “I will build an impenetrable wall, and Mexico will pay for it”

Immigration: “we will charge Mexico US$100,000 for every illegal person they sent to us”

International Politics: “I will bomb the hell out of Iraq”

Economy: “I am extremely rich!”


America… Be afraid, be VERY afraid!

Colombia en los Panamericanos


Mi problema con el sombrero vueltiao...

El pasado viernes tuve la fortuna de asistir a la ceremonia de inauguración de los juegos Panamericanos en Toronto... Cuando empezó el desfile de la diferentes delegaciones de los países participantes,  fue muy emocionante ver el colorido de los uniformes de los deportistas, portando orgullosos los colores de las banderas de sus respectivos países... Cuando llegó el turno de la delegación de Colombia, la emoción de ver a nuestros deportistas fue rápidamente reemplazada por una sensación de desconcierto... El atuendo escogido hacia ver a nuestros deportistas mas como un grupo de ciudadanos costeños rumbo al festival vallenato, que como los deportistas representantes de nuestro tricolor... De donde acá hemos resuelto que el sombrero vueltiao y la camisa blanca son lo que define a un Colombiano? Un evento tan importante como son los Juegos Panamericanos, no puede tratarse como una feria artesanal...

La diferencia, salta a la vista...

Mexico

Canada

Colombia






Uruguay
Guatemala
