El cantante japonés Ikuo Abo, con su voz potente y su timbre de barítono atenorado, interpretando en vivo el tango ‘En esta tarde gris’, con la orquesta de Masaichi Sakamoto, en el programa español Tele-Ritmo en 1967. Este valioso documento fílmico muestra cómo Abo logra transmitir la intensidad del tango a pesar de no hablar español.

Al igual que su compatriota Ranko Fujisawa, recurría a un riguroso trabajo fonético para abordar el repertorio rioplatense sin comprender completamente el significado de las palabras. Este recurso no sólo le permitió interpretar el género con solvencia, también le permitió grabar su primer disco para RCA Víctor en Argentina. En ese trabajo quedaron registrados, entre otros temas, ‘La Última Copa’, ‘Ríe Payaso’ y ‘Mi Dolor’, lo que le valió un reconocimiento otorgado por la Sociedad Argentina de Autores y Compositores (SADAIC), confirmando que la música puede trascender cualquier barrera idiomática.

.@ABDanielleSmith that is a lie. Provincial Court judges are appointed exclusively by Alberta Cabinet. Federal Court of Kings Bench justices are appointed by a committee that includes provincial input.

Alberta government is responsible for law-enforcement. Courts are independent

Seriously, please please please everyone watch this incredible moment from Angel Barajas. I could not believe it (as you can hear from my commentary). 😳😵‍💫🤩

How on earth did he do this?!?

Sensational.

Canadian taxpayers should not be funding the petty personal battles of Trudeau appointees.

Thousands of Alberta health-care workers took to the streets Thursday, adding to growing labour unrest in the province. As Sean Amato reports, some workers, critics and academics agree a feeling of government disrespect is a common factor. #ableg #cdnpoli

☪️🇪🇺 Miembro sueco del Parlamento Europeo:

"Mi hija no debería crecer en una Europa inmersa en valores islámicos.
Dejemos de importar la opresión de las mujeres, de normalizar y legitimar el Islam contra las mujeres. La sharia no es bienvenida en Europa.”

¿Qué opinas tú? 🤔

So, the AB government offered to pay $150/week to parents of kids 12 and under (during teacher strike). Online stats state there are around 436,000 kids in AB 12 and under.
$150 x 436,000= $65.4 million per WEEK.
Seems like a lot to pay to try and break the ATA and further weaken public education.

IMPERIAL OIL WHISTLEBLOWER ALLEGES:

“Hey Mario, I am an employee at Imperial and while I'd like to stay anonymous if you post my comments, I do want to clarify many points that were left out of the press release and missed by the comments made in the legislature.

While they are laying off 20% of the staff, this number is misleading.

They will be keeping all of the "below field" staff (the term they are using for people working at site) they will be laying off almost all of the "above field" staff (office employees).

I feel that the term "laying off" is also misleading, as they are not eliminating those roles.

A large portion of those roles will be moved to what they call "global business centers" which is their not so clever way of saying "outsourcing".

Those few that are moved to Houston or to the office space they plan on adding at the Strathcona refinery will be left in a position of little to no potential career progression.

If you were unaware, Imperial is 70% owned by ExxonMobil. This shift isn't even about Imperial cost cutting, this is about ExxonMobil shipping the value of Canadian resources to Houston, India and Buenos Aires.”

Danielle Smith’s Alberta is a place where it’s okay to:

- encourage parental abuse on kids

- attack Alberta teachers

- blow $461,000,000 on bougie private schools

- make sure Alberta students are the lowest funded in Canada

FYI: this isn’t okay

Last summer, Jasper National Park had a devastating wildfire burning 39,000 hectares and 1/3 of Jasper town.

It was Canada's 9th most expensive natural disaster and destroyed so much history and natural beauty.

There was so much gov failure before & after. Let's take a look:
