Provinces Quotes - Page 8

• En un mundo posterior al 11-S, en el que se ha legitimado la esencialización acrítica de los pueblos del "Tercer Mundo"; Irak y Afganistán han sido deshumanizados en un intento de difundir la ilustración en esas regiones "oscuras"; el discurso de los "crímenes de honor" prevalece en la Provincia Fronteriza del Noroeste de Pakistán y se ha hecho un hueco en el discurso académico occidental como otro ejemplo de la incorregible bestialidad de Oriente.

• Si vas a muchas comunidades pequeñas de la Alberta rural encontrarás un grado de diversidad que probablemente no ha existido en términos de inmigración en un siglo: encontrarás la tienda de comestibles filipina, y la iglesia pentecostal africana y quizá una mezquita. Los albertinos están a favor de la inmigración, pero también de la integración. En los años que llevo en esta provincia no recuerdo más que un puñado de expresiones de xenofobia o nativismo. Es la tierra de los nuevos comienzos y de empezar de cero: son raros los albertinos que remontan sus raíces aquí a más de una o dos generaciones.

• I returned to Kabul after a 27-year absence. I came away with some optimism but not as much as I had hoped for. The two major issues in Afghanistan are a lack of security outside Kabul (particularly in the south and east) and the powerful warlords ruling over the provinces with little or no allegiance to the central government. The other rapidly rising concern is the narcotic trade which, if not dealt with, may turn Afghanistan into another Bolivia or Colombia.

• If you look globally you see a patchwork of jurisdictions (nations, states, provinces, cities) that have taken aggressive action on climate change, and a patchwork of jurisdictions that have not. These various policies reflect the politics of each jurisdiction and the values of its citizens.

• I remember my very first encounter with Japan. At that time, I was Deputy Mayor of St Petersburg. Out of nowhere, Japan's Consul General in St Petersburg came to my office and said Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs wanted to invite me to Japan. I was very surprised because I had nothing to do with Japan except being a judoka. This was an opportunity to visit Tokyo and a couple of other cities. And, you know, a capital is a capital everywhere: there is the official script and certain protocol. It is always easier to talk in the provinces, the conversation is more natural.

• Algunos piensan que Rusia debería convertirse en una especie de provincia estadounidense, donde suministrar recursos naturales a Estados Unidos y al resto del mundo.

• Confederation is a compact, made originally by four provinces but adhered to by all the nine provinces who have entered it, and I submit to the judgment of this house and to the best consideration of its members, that this compact should not be lightly altered.

• The storm was really giving it everything it had. This was its big chance. It had spent years hanging around the provinces, putting in some useful work as a squall, building up experience, making contacts, occasionally leaping out on unsuspecting shepherds or blasting quite small oak trees. Now an opening in the weather had given it an opportunity to strut its hour, and it was building up its role in the hope of being spotted by one of the big climates.

• Do we really want to travel in hermetically sealed popemobiles through the rural provinces of France, Mexico and the Far East, eating only in Hard Rock Cafes and McDonalds? Or do we want to eat without fear, tearing into the local stew, the humble taqueria's mystery meat, the sincerely offered gift of a lightly grilled fish head? I know what I want. I want it all. I want to try everything once.

• I used to think I had no will to power. Now I perceive that I vented it on thoughts, rather than people. Conquering an unknown province of knowledge. Getting the better of a problem. Forcing ideas to associate or come apart. Bullying recalcitrant words to assume a certain pattern. All the fun of being a dictator without any risks and responsibilities.
