Here, in his own tawdry words, is the portrait of a traitor to his native country (Canada). Mr. Rath is the personification of everything that's wrong with today's political culture in Alberta. Albertans : You need to say "NO" to this prick. The Rest of Canada, is listening. youtu.be/wCZSC1kGwWM

I used to work for Capgemini. Our relationship terminated in 2023. I am glad that I have no more association with this company. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Ever wondered why Micro$oft Window$ has degenerated into a disastrous mix of bloatware, privacy-compromises and poor performance? Here's one of the best explanations that I've recently happened across (see appended). Just use Linux, folks. That's basically "it". www.howtogeek.com/this-is-the-...

People on social media sometimes say to me, "Oh, come ON, man... where's the evidence that American Trump voters are 'cruel', 'malicious' and 'evil'?" Oh... REALLY? Check it out, folks : www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Religion.

At this point it would be way beyond reckless to "trust" ANY "security" system engineered or maintained by Micro$oft... but just for completeness, if you have absolutely no alternative to using BitLocker... here's a work-around for the key disclosure issue. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

Canada URGENTLY needs to do the same. We need a crash program to terminate our current, extremely risky dependence on U.S.-based digital technologies and services (particularly cloud services), especially where Canadian public sector entities are concerned. BOYCOTT U.S. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES!

The author of this editorial is absolutely right : the U.S. is slipping rapidly into fascist authoritarianism, because America's dumb-as-a-post, apathetic, entertainment-obsessed citizens are spending all their time watching football. They deserve what they get. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Donald Trump is senile and severely emotionally and mentally ill. He is a deadly threat to civil liberties, human rights, the global economy and world peace. If not stopped, he will destroy the U.S. and then the world itself. HE MUST BE STOPPED, BY ANY MEANS AVAILABLE. See : youtu.be/dfh_QCFijnk

Earth Calling American "Progressives" and "Moderates" : IF YOU DON'T FIGHT TRUMP WITH THE SAME METHODS AS HE IS ASSAULTING YOU (and "U.S. 'Democracy'") WITH, HE IS GOING TO KILL YOU. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? TRUMP IS GOING TO K I L L YOU! youtu.be/nDEAWxG7Bq8

More than a decade ago, I was laughed at (by so-called "security experts"), for warning, "Microsoft is willing to back-door its "BitLocker" encryption system, to allow the U.S. government secret, unauthorized access to your data". Oh... REALLY? gizmodo.com/microsoft-re...

I understand what Mr. Krugman is saying here, and he may well be right, but he is being FAR too gentle - with, specifically, his country's voters. AMERICA'S STUPID, CRUEL, EVIL, IGNORANT AND MALICIOUS VOTERS, VOTED FOR THIS MAN! There is NO excuse - NONE! paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-sundow...

These comments are 100% accurate. Totalitarian, racist and fascist sentiments are deeply embedded in the U.S., and, shamefully, they are tolerated in America. Trump is the inevitable end-state of allowing this virus to spread and multiply. The only surprise is, "why has it taken so long?"

TL:DR summary : "If you let stupid and ignorant people vote, you get Trump." www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gPh...

Let's apply Occam's Razor, to the appended, "baroque in its complexity", attempt to "explain" why so many Americans, voted for Trump in November, 2024. The conclusion comes inexorably : "A plurality of Americans, are stupid, cruel, ignorant, malicious and evil." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pusn...

You gotta give Mad King Donald credit -- he's always one step ahead of his critics (a.k.a., "95% of the rest of the world"). He's not only declared Canada as "the 51st State", but he's already figured out who's going to be the 52nd one. U.K., you're up for #53. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Mr. Garton Ash -- a conservative with whom I often disagree -- is unfortunately 100% correct here. The rest of the "Western 'Liberal Democratic' World" simply MUST organize collective defence against a predatory, fascist, imperialist U.S. under King Donald Trump. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Finally, some realistic advice for "what Europe should do, in the face of Trump's over-the-top aggression against Greenland and Denmark". The U.S. -- which is now a Putin-esque aggressor nation -- must be thrown out of NATO. The U.S. is a menace to world peace. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Hooray, Mr. Trump's here... but what's that SMELL?" 💩 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HyV...

Guess what? America's cruel, malicious, evil, stupid and ignorant voters, who knew exactly what they were doing yet did it anyway, deliberately voted for this on November 5, 2024 : www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbtd...

Mr. Frum's disingenuous portrayal of NATO is both simplistic and wildly too complimentary to America's historic role in the alliance; but with that having been said, there is also a lot of truth to what he's saying. The video is well worth watching. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWRr...

The United States under Donald Trump is a menace to world peace, the environment, human rights and the rule of law. The only practical response that the rest of the world can now implement, is the total isolation of the U.S. from the world economy (a la North Korea). arstechnica.com/science/2026...

#sciencefiction #scifi #fantasy #booksky #books #superhero As a "FYI" to my readers... (1) Completion of the audiobook version of Book #4 ("The Future Alight") of "The Future Burns Bright" is planned for mid-February, 2026. It's a long novel and will take some time to transcode! 🙂

#sciencefiction #scifi #fantasy #booksky #books #superhero I'm proud to announce that the audiobook version of "Against Time" (Book #3 of "The Future Burns Bright") is available for purchase, on Kobo! Book #4 ("The Future Alight") is now under active development. URL: www.kobo.com/ca/en/audiob...

You're right, my friends... "tears in my eyes". Stay strong, Ukraine. Your cause is just, and those of us in the West who still believe in liberal democracy, are always with you.

Just (re) watched... an absolute classic of early 1960s U.K. (Hammer) horror / sci-fi. This film, along with the other Quatermass ones, proves that you don't have to have multi-million dollar special-effects budgets, to make an effective, suspenseful movie : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaterm...

Christianity (as with Trump) : "The cruelty, IS the point." Fundamentalist Christians (who set the tone for the whole religion, and who have been doing so for decades now), LOVE to hurt and victimize poor and vulnerable people. Christianity, thus, is... evil. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd76...

One doesn't know whether to cry or salute when presented with the suicidal bravery of Ukraine's soldiers, as they sacrifice their lives to execute stupid, frontal-assault orders issued by politicians way behind the front lines. This amazing video is a "must-see". www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf4C...

It's later than you think, my American friends. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn-r...

For those of you who ask, "why are you so upset about Trump... what's your PROBLEM, anyway?"... www.youtube.com/watch?v=hybL...

Here's what America's voters, freely, deliberately and knowingly, voted FOR, on November 5, 2024. Do not forget : EACH AND EVERY DAMN TRUMP VOTER, IS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. NO MORE EXCUSES! www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4F0...

"The fix is 'in'", as Trump pulls the rug out from under Ukraine's struggling democracy. The U.S. itself is a write-off, here... but the rest of NATO can still come to Ukraine's aid, when it so desperately needs help. Contact your government. Tell them to support Ukraine, NOW!

The U.S. Ambassador to Canada is frothing at the mouth with indignation, because Doug Ford dared to run an ad uncomplimentary to Mad King Donald's tariff policy. "Intervening in U.S. politics", the Ambassador rants and raves. Yet... www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Some very valid observations here -- namely, "at least 50% of Conservative Party of Canada voters (who are ignorant and evil and who are are all-in with Trump), are a total 'write-off'; they can't be reasoned with and their tiny minds are totally, permanently made up". youtu.be/Gr_lIgbes-o

U.S. Republicans seem to think that they can vote for a cretin like Donald Trump -- who goes out of his way to insult Canada at every opportunity -- and then get Canadians to roll over and play dead, by being bribed with a discount coupon. They are, of course... mistaken. youtu.be/1EG8PXcKS-w

"It's the Trump VOTERS, stupid!" Couldn't have put it better, myself. Trump's voters are evil, bad, destructive, cruel, stupid, ignorant and malicious S.O.B.s -- and they deserve serious, severe punishment for what they did on November 5, 2024. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p2W...

It has been said that without at least the tacit support of average Russian voters, Putin could get away with neither his domestic authoritarian state, nor his war of aggression against Ukraine. I have often commented, "the average U.S. voter, is no better". Q.E.D. : youtu.be/vlnipODsxBg
