@cyalm All of Trump’s deadlines remind me of my college projects that I used to name as Final, Final 1.2, Final-final.1.4, finally_final_to_submit.1.9 😀

Islamabad (the city where their grandparents live and they are familiar with) holds peace talks to stop the Iran-US war…is everything!

I can literally feel their brain and heart make new connections!

Most of my parent life the news about Pakistan in international media my Pakistani-Canadian heart has read to my Canadian-born-visiting-Pakistan-just-to-visit-their-grandparents kids is not the best: economic conditions, bomb blasts and war.
But now to see their smiles when 1/2

How Pakistan made the world over 3 trillion dollars richer

On April 7, the world edged toward Trump's 8pm ultimatum that "a whole civilization will die tonight." By mid-afternoon, Polymarket gave less than a 5% chance for a ceasefire. But then in a flurry of last-minute diplomacy led by Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif, ceasefire odds shifted from near-impossibility to 100%, as both U.S. and Iranian leadership publicly acknowledged the important role played by Pakistan.

The sharp shift in probability of ceasefire from near-zero to certainty, allows us to estimate cleanly the market value of Pakistan's successful diplomacy. There was a sharp jump of 2.9% in S&P500 around the ceasefire announcement. The reaction was similar the world over.

Global markets represent about $125T, so a 2.9% jump represents a gain of 3.6 trillion dollars for the world. Pakistan helped create TEN times its own GDP for the world!

For me, the best part is not the trillions of dollar, but seeing Pakistan on the world stage as a peace maker.

I hope Pakistan runs with this new identity by promoting peace not only abroad, but also at home. That means moving away from politics of division and exclusion, and treating every citizen as its own.

@nenshi We are watching you live! We stand with teachers!

The kids and I joined the World Teachers’ Day rally today in support of public education in Alberta #Red4Ed #abteachers

[Tamania | Urdu Mom @UrduMom]

@ABDanielleSmith We the parents are disappointed in you ! Listen to the teachers. We need our children in school with the ones who are trained for this:teachers. In an environment that’s conducive to learning which means smaller classrooms and more funding per student!

[Tamania | Urdu Mom @UrduMom]

@nenshi We need support for the teachers! As an involved parent I can see the challenges the classrooms face! When will @YourAlberta @ABDanielleSmith actually listen to us rather than trying to divert the issue by throwing $30 per child!

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Parents aren’t blaming teachers; they’re blaming Danielle Smith.

They’re right to do so: Alberta is the richest province in Canada, yet we spend the least per student.

That’s not an accident. That’s a choice.
Let's stand with teachers and stand up for public education.

[Tamania | Urdu Mom @UrduMom]

@ABDanielleSmith @YourAlberta This is atrocious and unacceptable! Listen to the teachers, listen to the parents! Decrease class size, give more funds per student! Negotiate with the teachers!
