Microsoft is currently robbing Canadians.

They are overcharging the Federal Governement, Provinces, Cities, Universities, Hospitals and Small Businesses for the right to use Microsoft Office. If you go to a University, whether you like it or not, you are paying the Microsoft tax. If you go buy food at the supermarket, whether you like it or not, you are paying the Microsoft tax. If you pay taxes, whether you like it or not, you are paying the Microsoft tax.

It’s parasitism. Microsoft is a giant parasite that feeds on the Canadian economy.

I now use Libre Office.

It’s a wonderful alternative to Microsoft Office. It’s free, secure, and developed by a non-profit organization that I financially support. I urge people to replace Word/Excel/PowerPoint by Libre Office.

We need Canadian organizations to do the same. Stop paying the Microsoft tax. Kill the Parasite.

Who would trust a deal with Donald Trump?

Mexico and Canada signed a huge trade deal with him in 2018, during his first term.

Trump signs new trade pact with Canada, Mexico leaders

“It’s been long and hard. We’ve taken a lot of barbs and a little abuse, but we got there” Trump said

Trump is reelected and suddenly he throws away everything he signed.

Who would trust this man? The Iranian leaders are less crazy than him.

The american elite managed to convince ordinary americans that evil foreigners are to blame for all their problems. This is something you notice if you follow US media.

They are just whining about how China, Europe, Mexico, Canada, the World Health Organization has been super unfair to them. Even Africa is blamed !

It’s complete non-sense.

• Lack of healthcare : Barack Obama tried a small improvement with his Affordable Healthcare Act. He faced unprecedented hatred. People accused him of being “radical communist”. He had to beg Congress members to pass the bill.

• Drugs : One criminal family, the Sacklers, bribed doctors and dentists to overprescribe oxicotyn. The FDA didn’t act until it was too late. The result was an unprecedented opioid crisis that quickly turned into a heroin crisis. Prosecutors refuse to prosecute the Sackler family.

• Bad infrastructure : George W. Bush spent $1 trillion dollar on the Irak war. Okay. What exactly did he get in return…? Are americans better off? Are Irakis better off? Contractors just swallowed the cash. China used their money to build a world class high speed train network.

• Gun violence : Well, they sell guns like candies. Any 18 year old psycho can easily purchase a gun and shoot up the local school or movie theater.

• Lack of affordable housing : American zoning rules prevent high density housing from being built. Look at San Francisco or LA. Individual houses but people are struggling to get a roof over their head.

Their problems are all caused by americans.

But unfortunately, many of them now think the rest of the world is to blame.
