Donald Trump will be the 45th U.S. president beginning January 20, 2017

270 electoral votes to win. Donald Trump got 276 electoral votes and Hillary Clinton got 218 electoral votes. The glass ceiling is not yet broken.

Here is a tweet from Hillary Clinton last night.

Before 11 pm last night when I saw this on CBC, I knew America will have to wait longer to have a female president.

In January 20, 2017, Donald Trump will be the 45th president of the United States. How united will America be from now on?

What will happen to Canada and Canadians?

What will happen to Mexico and Mexicans?

What will happen to women and visible minorities in America?

What will happen to North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)?

What will happen to Canadian, Mexican and American economy?

What will happen to the world economy?

What will happen to racial division in America? 

What will happen to gun control and gun violence in America?

What will happen to the world peace?

Will Americans emigrate to other countries?

Do they want to immigrate to Canada?

The website of Citizenship and Immigration Canada crashed last night.

The most important questions of all, will Donald Trump be reelected for the second term? Will we have eight years of Donald Trump as the U.S. president?

Inge Lehmann’s 127th Birthday - Google Doodles

Yesterday, May 12, on the eve of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann’s birthday, I'm deeply saddened by the news of another over 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal.  My thoughts and prayers go out to those impacted by the devastating earthquake, their family members and their friends.

People in Nepal will need our help for emergency shelter, health care, food and safe drinking water.  Let's donate what we can to help people there.  Donation will be matched by the Government of Canada through the Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund.

For more information, please visit Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund - How to Make a Donation

If you are not Canadian, please check if your Government also has a matching program for any relief fund donations.
 
May all the seismologists in this world find a good early warning system for earthquake.
