Feb 2 - the nightmare knows no bounds. I teach Regional Geography of Canada - I am familiar with its vastness, beauty, wildness, and resources in its land and its people. Canada is rich in precious minerals, ag products, oil, technology and health innovations. Canada can survive on its own. Can USA?

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Last Day of the First Month of 2025 - so how was the New Year thus far? Not encouraging at all, or rather, very disappointing. As a society, we have become reactive than proactive, regressive than progressive, lethargic than energetic, complacent than decent, numb and dumb than alert and vigilant.

Jan 30 - The country where cruelty knows no limits today prides itself as the land of the free and home of the brave - time to ask freedom for whom and bravery for what? America must not be the house of smoke and mirage - it’s amazing what’s happening in America today can only happen in Afghanistan

Jan 29, ‘25 - terrible news from the south of Canada - citizenship, deportation, Medicaid, fed employees. The list will grow longer as January ends. We all knew this would be coming, but are shocked when the nail hits the head. I am waiting for Feb 1 - 25% tariff on imports from Canada. Interesting

Jan 24 ‘25 - some Republicans want a constitutional amendment to allow for DJT to have a third term. I say they should take one more step and declare him President for Life. When dictators and monarchs elsewhere have fallen by the wayside it’s amazing to see the reverse in America. God save the USA!

Day 23 - Year 2025 is not new anymore. What’s old is new again and what’s new is old. It was old - the bashing of immigrants - most Americans should look themselves in the mirror - can they imagine America without the immigrants? New - the skeptical Environmentalists rise again - that’s old news!

In nature one finds solace in turbulent times. Leave all the cares behind and you will find happiness there, the joy of simplicity, and the power within yourself from and being one with nature.

So we saw what happened yesterday - insurrectionists are pardoned, and a man gives a Hitler salute. That is a prelude what is to come. Brace yourself, the ride is going to be much rougher. I continue to be amazed in disbelief that this happened in America to America, its people spoke loud and clear.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Written right there in the Constitution. The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

Jan 20 - a day not worth talking about but reflecting on the perils of democracy. America demonstrated that a convicted felony is not a deal breaker for becoming its president. Morality, honesty and intellect are not required for the most important job in America! I am amazed in disbelief!

Going to Brampton, giving a talk at an event on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Canada-Nepal relations. I am an academic so will talk space, place and the environment- that is what most geographers do - and somehow relate to the event’s main theme.

TikTok banned in the Land of the Free. It does not make any difference to me - I am not on it. Before this, USA prevented Nippon Steel from buying US Steel. So it seems globalization has a one way highway, if you don’t like my highway get off it. I don’t like how you drive, get off my highway!

When you get two identical messages from 2 different people you know you are responding to chatbots. It’s hard to discern who is real and who is fake.

There are so many friends on social media, but not one when it matters, so many followers but not one who is really interested in you. Social media is like that aunt who you never knew but received well wishes from time to time until she stopped sending the wishes. I too have so many aunts here 😊

Canadians say this from December to April. Sometimes starting in October and ending in May. But what we love the most over here North of the 49th, is "We don't have RFK Jr, we don't have Elon, we don't have Trump." ❄️ www.youtube.com/shorts/C92Ph...

I refuse to believe that I have been a victim of racism coz if I believe that it’s gonna give me a lot of stress and the urge to fight back. What I believe in is people’s perspectives and attitude towards others are shaped by their own lived experiences. We must aim for positive lived experiences.
