A while back, I was having an argument (well, it’s more like I was trying to have a conversation with my designated troll, banned since) about the downside of population decline (PD). He demanded to know why is it bad (which is what I was trying to say) and I thought I provided some studies, but while searching, I was unsatisfied with the quality of the studies I had found. (The title term refers mostly to economy (i.e., population drops below the level required to carry the economy or more specifically old age pensions) whereas PD refers to demographics.) Since then, I’ve found a bit more so here it is.

Recently, one of the few blogs I read went off-line, after publishing one episode of their epic sagas. It’s [sort of] about Dacians, and as a sign of solidarity, I’ve decided to give the non-Romanian world an idea about it.

A friend of mine published an article in medium on communism and entrepreneurship (ana-medium) and Aferim!, a movie a cousin of mine was involved in producing has hit the theatres, and I feel a debt of honour to write about each one. So hard to stay focused and write meaningfully is. 

We finally get to present and hopefully elucidate our argument.

Am mentionat in articolele precedente sarbatori religioase ale altor credinte cat si cele ale crestinatatii ortodoxe. Desi am incercat sa citesc carti despre istoria religiilor, continui sa stiu putine despre majoritatea celor din afara crestinatatii. Aici incep sa aflu.

Am poposit recent pe pagina unui blog negru, prezentand viata in gri prin intermediul unui batran cu tatuaje violete ce se plimba aproape gol, intelept si decorat pe strada. Mi-am amintit de Arclantida si-nceputul sau. Si-apoi am terminat de tradus Halebarda lui Sorescu.

M-a deranjat intotdeauna rasismul la romani si argumentele gen "hai sa-i belim pe tigani, ca si altii au facut la fel". Cand ma pronunt impotriva acestor atitudini, o fac nu pentru ca altii n-au facut la fel, ci taman d-aia. Continui deci sa descriu politicile discriminatorii din trecutul Lumii Noi.

Canada se vinde (si multi cumpara ideea) ca un rai multietnic unde toti traiesc fericiti si-n concubinaj, inclusiv Tom si Jerry. Realitatea nu-i foarte departe de reclama, dar exista si exceptii si-aici prezint cateva. 

In primul episod, am aruncat o privire asupra familiei Ionce. Continui aici cu un raspuns (foarte) pe larg pentru o prietena care ma intreba unde-i mai fain sa-si faca un Ph.D, in BC sau Alberta.

Intrebat de o prietena daca sa mearga in BC sau Alberta la studii superioare, incurajat de "liberalizarea" vizelor canadiene pentru romani, cat si de o stire recenta despre o mama eroina din BC, care-a zamislit aproape 20 de progenituri, m-am hotarat sa-mi aplec iarasi privirile asupra Canadei. Nu-i prima data cand fac asta aici-sha. Am mai scris despre clima, despre vize si chiar despre imigrare si feminism. Si-acum, inc-odata :)
