After watching Donald Trump’s interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes, and seeing a hot stream of putrid lies and obfuscation, I wonder where the great Democracy called The United States of America has gone? These days, it’s good to be a Canadian.

I witnessed this happening in slow motion, but it’s now on full speed ahead. AI, and especially, google search AI is killing the web content business, as users can find info without visiting pages. Page views have bottomed out while AI sucks info from content providers.

Donald Trump finally gets a Nobel prize.

What happens to the loyalty of a military when their country no longer issues a pay cheque?

So, Trump couldn’t negotiate with Putin? The art of the non-deal?

Grandpa Trump is in full-blown dementia these days. Ironically, the US complained vehemently about the last guy being addle-minded. This guy has gone full Hitler and they think it’s normal. I love Canada.

Happy Canada Day!

People are saying how Canadians and Europeans may stop visiting the USA. Sorry to say, it’s already happened. The bad news for Americans is as time goes by your country worsens, turning off any potential tourism that may have remained.

Listening to the orange turnip brag that he was the person responsible for nato nations upping their defence spending… Yes, you were. Because YOU were threatening their sovereignty.

Since Canada is planning a large increase in military spending, might I suggest they invest in a billion dollars of new drone technology, both air and marine based, and staff the drone forces with young 20-30 year olds who are trained to control, program, and maintain the hardware.

Seeing National Guard members bedding down on a hot concrete floor in LA reminds me of times my military made me rest my body in a hot, abandoned school house or a muddy soccer field. In all cases we had cold beer on hand. I feel for those soldiers, and know their CIC doesn’t give 2 shits for them.

Not a day goes by without hearing something ultra-dumb from the mouth of the American president. They are starting to wonder why Canadians have dumped the USA. “Why won’t you visit anymore?” Ans: “It’s not you, it’s me… no, actually it’s you.”

Have completely migrated web properties and domain registrations to Canadian providers. Last year, my web business spent approximately 8k with US companies. This year, it will be a small fraction of that amount, and next year it will be $0.00. So far, Canadian companies have proven 2B superior.

As I manage several dozen websites and domain names, I have pledged to move everything to Canadian (and International) service providers. I am working hard toward fully canceling my business connections with the USA.

The only reason I started watching CNN again is in the off chance I might witness the very moment the US government falls. My popcorn is ready.

Watching the USA decline is sad. The level of dumb is astounding. History has shown that isolating a country to achieve prosperity is a failing gambit. Many will suffer for the sake of dumb.

Trump randomly talking about tariffs and how the “bad”. countries had taken advantage of the USA went on for an hour. Does anyone think this is a good way to run a country? It seems like it might play better to a bunch of drunks at a dive bar. A country needs a statesman, not a rambling nincompoop.

Canadians need to look for every way to distance themselves from the fascist United States. Don’t cross the border and don’t buy American, every day and in every way. Always defend Canadian freedom and culture.
March 29, 2025 at 6:06 PM
For years the Canadian Conservative party has been saying "Canada is broken." Don't you think Trump and his gang have been listening, and believing all the rhetoric? The truth is that through Poilievre's vile anti-Canadian stance he has helped bring the American fascist machine to our doorstep.

To my American friends. $3.99 for a dozen, large , disease free eggs. Suck it.

X (Twitter) is down. It’s been acting up since approx 4am Eastern. I only hope it’s down forever.

BOYCOTT THE SUPER BOWL
This year the Super Bowl has the feel of the Berlin Olympics in 1936
Der Führer attended that event too.

If you are Canadian, you should not be watching the Super Bowl. The FOX broadcast will feature an interview with Trump, and you can be sure he will promote his plans to make the USA into a Trump-led dictatorship. Of course, he plans to make Canada part of his realm. Canada needs to boycott.
February 9, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Just another reason to NOT watch the super bore. You won't have to watch ads for the Secret Service of a newly created dictatorship. www.cnn.com/2025/02/08/p...

Being a Canadian who doesn’t like watching four-down football, it won’t be hard for me to ignore the super bore this Sunday.
