[–] Newstart 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Canada was supposed be the one suspended the Visa service for Indians. I would love to know the proportion of non Indian decent Canadians visiting India vs Indians visiting Canada. Besides businessmen, I don’t think India is really a destination for Canadians. So I don’t think that Canadian will loses sleeps for not having Indian visa. However, I think Canada should also suspend Visa for them too.

[–] Newstart 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will not be drinking today. Last night I was a watching a tv show; at some point there was someone enjoying a bourbon. I won’t lie to admit the temptation was real for some glasses myself. However, I remembered how I used to wake up every morning and wondering what text messages I sent to whom while I was drunk the night before along with what other stuff I may have done. Therefore that urge to drink dissipated real fast . I can now add another successful night without drinking to my calendar , and I am looking forward for my new milestone. Have a nice everyone.

Officials say 5 prisoners sought by the US in a swap with Iran have flown out of Tehran in c/news

Doesn’t that makes it riskier for Americans to travel? Now countries can just arrest Americans on bogus charges to get what they want from the US. Don’t get me wrong, if it was my family in an Iranian prison I would love for them to get free as well.
