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...

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...

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

La Seguridad en Bogotá: Un Desastre!

La ciudad a merced de los delincuentes... y el Alcalde Petro tratando de justificar su pésimo desempeño con estadísticas, que solo confunden...

Bogotá se merece algo mejor!
