“… that which once was.”

I’m getting really tired of Suckerburg’s tiff with Canadian news sources… while I didn’t particularly notice while in Europe, now that I am here, it is a constant annoyance. I have taken to obfuscating the URLs, but this has meant that images, which are always more potent, were also unable to be displayed. So it looks like the blog will be getting a workout… today’s treat follows.

Take some time to drift through the images of Palestine before the nakkba of 1948. It reminds me of the stories of an earlier time further to the west, of Alfonso el Sabio.

“The concept of privacy is completely different when you enter the United States.”

And so the Canadians are warning, not just Canadians, but Americans returning to the US. Here’s a link to a CBC article interviewing several immigration lawyers and consultants about travel between the US and Canada —

In the meantime, a bit of sky.

Wherein, a day we dare not trust what we read…

April has come. And with it, perhaps a little warming, altho’ here it is snow broadcast for tomorrow. 

I once read that sheepherders hate April, for that is when the lambs are usually born and the weather is usually so unpredictable that there is a great risk of them being born “in the wild”, not found, and freezing to death. A terrible month of extremes, especially for sheep.

And then, of course, the pranks of April Fool’s Day — I learned of a new one: wrapping the toilet with clear plastic wrap, then leaving the seat down. Surprise!

With this, we enter the second quarter of the regime’s madness. Tomorrow promises to be interesting, although perhaps no more so than the previous two and half months have been. In like a lion and out like a lamb?

All I know for sure is be sure to check the toilet first.

 

Université de Montréal publishes travel guidelines for students, staff heading to the U.S.

Quoting part of the story so my friends can read it on Facebook — due to the spat the Zuck has with the Canadian government, it isn’t possible to directly link to “real” news stories. Which is pretty interesting as to what their algo defines as a “news story”.

“Université de Montréal has issued a series of guidelines to students and staff who will be travelling to the United States for academic purposes.

Rector Daniel Jutras says the guidelines were issued on Thursday in response to numerous questions from students and staff about U.S. travel concerns amid a number of reports of detentions and denial of entry into that country in recent weeks.

Jutras says while there’s no specific incident involving the university community, it felt the need to respond to concerns raised.

The university advises students and staff to tell the institution when they are travelling and discuss potential risks before leaving to the U.S.”

In the interest of sharing…

Facebook has some rules about sharing what it deems to be news sources, when posting from Canada.

In the interest of sharing information widely concerning the clampdown being experienced in the US by the current regime, I am sharing an URL from The Guardian UK concerning the recent denial of entry of a French researcher in to the US so that my friends on FB can access it freely…
