transport

Canada - Colombia


In Canada the most used means of transport are the big buses, which make her stop at each station, in a certain place in the city, each person buys his ticket and the bus limps corresponding to the address you want to go. There are also taxis that stop at any place you plan on passengers. Almost works like Colombia, taxis with minimum rate, companies that control it and that gives them permits the government to drive public transportation as drivers. Bogota buses operate in large, that environment is called Transmilenio, with timetables, routes and stations at various sites in the city. In Canada and in Colombia there are buses that take you from one city to another, and your rate is higher depending on the distance that they want to travel, with major airports in major cities, the largest in Canada was in Ottawa and in Colombia in Bogota. In Colombia, unlike Canada operate small buses that stop in the city where the person you want, anywhere in the streets and in Canada that does not work but only in the French stations.

Jaime Garzon Biography

Jaime Garzon Forero (born October 24, 1960 in Bogota, Colombia — Died August 13, 1999 in Bogota) was a Colombian journalist, a comedian and political satirist.
TV work
He worked on various television parodies, becoming famous with the TV Show "Zoociety" in the 1980's which contained humor about materialistic society and politics. Garzon then started working on a TV Show called "¡Quac! El Noticero" in which he participated with the Colombian Actor Diego Leon Hoyos until 1997.
Garzon created many different and instantly recognizable fictional characters, the last of which was his debut as "Heriberto de la Calle", a shoe polisher who interviewed different personalities, including politicians.
Murder
On August 13, 1999, Garzon was murdered, allegedly by the AUC, a right-wing paramilitary organization, some time after they declared him a military objective. Carlos Castano Gil, leader of the AUC, was later convicted in absentia for Garzon's murder, and sentenced to 38 years in prison.
According to Judge Julio Roberto Ballen Silva, the AUC reacted against his involvement in negotiations for the release of guerrilla-held hostages on behalf of their family members. There are several versions of what happened in the days preceding his murder, in one of them Jaime Garzon was informed of an order to assassinate him, he then contacted Castano, who scheduled a meeting with him to take place just the day after his murder, and sent a counter order to abort the assassination. The order apparently either never reached the actual killers, or came after it was too late. This led some to speculate that the meeting was a trap .
