Awesome photo of my city Niagara Falls Canada at night, you can see my hotel too which is the tallest one! ;)
I took this photo from the roof of my hotel in Niagara Falls which is approx 57 floors up when on the roof, I added tilt shift via photoshop. I have this on my deviantART page also!
Massive media conglomerates are lobbying the government to create shadowy legislation: an Internet lock-down, where Internet users are cut off for no good reason, where vast swaths of the Internet are removed or hidden from view, and where users are locked out of their own services.
A similar scheme in the US led to a huge public outcry forcing Big Media lobbyists to back off from their plan to impose the now-infamous SOPA and PIPA1 legislation.
Now, those lobbyists are turning to Canada through legislation like Bill C-11 and trade agreements called ACTA2 and TPP3. Internet law expert Michael Geist recently revealed that behind-the-scenes, Big Media is pushing for powers that include website blocking4, Internet termination for people that threaten their business interests5, and huge threats for sites that host user-generated content (like YouTube)6 in addition to the digital locks7 already in the Bill.
Taken together, these policies would fundamentally change the Internet, severely limit free expression, and hogtie innovators. This approach is backwards: it suffocates online choice and it’s patently unfair.
Politicians and policymakers have an opportunity to put Canada on the map as a leader in Internet openness and affordability. But they have to know that we’re behind them if they stand up to megacorporate lobbyists.
Tell the Prime Minister and the Industry Minister to say no to the Internet lockdown. → http://openmedia.ca/lockdown

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

Lyrics….
When your tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
When it’s in your spine like you’ve walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while
And if your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you, I’ll be right beside you
When you’re overwhelmed and you’ve lost your breath
And the space between the things you know is blurring nonetheless
When you try to speak but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach but they’ve never been so loud
And if your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you, I’ll be right beside you
I will sing, nobody will break you, you!
Trust in me, trust in me, don’t pull away
Just trust in me, trust me ‘cause I’m just trying to keep it together
‘Cause I could do worse and you could do better
When your tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
And if your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you, nobody will break you
And if your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you, nobody will break you

Toronto, sort of… “The Youngest” by YagaK
Small tour from my hotel, 40th floor…. next time I will try to get pics from the rooftop which would almost be the equivalent of 60 floors up!!!
OMG the more I look into immigration here in Canada the more frustrated and confused I get. Most of you know I’m a Canadian but I’m trying to help someone very special move here from Mexico but it sure the hell is not easy, it’s the most complicated thing I think I have ever researched!
Canada is suppose to be one of the most friendly, open minded and welcoming countries in the world… well we got the friendly & open minded part down but welcoming we are not it seems! :(
Getting him here is a big hurdle on it’s own with strict visa requirements but then keeping him here will be another world of frustration taken to a whole new level that seems very daunting!
Oh well my heart is already attached to him and I’m in this for the long haul! Wish us luck and if anyone has experience in this and wants to offer up some advice please make use of my email link on my tumblr sidebar, it would be greatly appreciated! :)
