THE DOMINION VOTING MACHINES

THE DOMINION VOTING MACHINES 
By Bernard Bujold-
The Us President Donald Trump is not the first one to have a problem with the Dominion voting machines and here in Canada, last August 21, 2020, Peter Mackay got defeated by Erin O'Toole and serious problems happened with the Dominion machines used for the vote as the result suddenly changed and the final count was only available two days later. 
In Canada only two provinces are using the machines, Ontario and New Brunswick, but many political parties are using them. 
Does that mean that Donald Trump is right about machine fraud in his 2020 US Presidential Election? Maybe yes, maybe no, but the difficulty will be to prove the hacking, if hacking it was, as a good hacker know how to hide his manipulation of the software.

DONALD TRUMP AND FRANÇOIS LEGAULT...

DONALD TRUMP AND FRANÇOIS LEGAULT... 
By Bernard Bujold - 
There is a direct link if we compare the two situations of Donald Trump and François Legault. 
The link is the figure 10%! 
Indeed, accusations by Donald Trump of electoral fraud and manipulation of Dominion voting machines (manipulation of digital codes) will be difficult to prove and the time to do so is decreasing day by day. I would say that the chances of success are 10%. 
In the case of François Legault the same figure applies and I would say that we have a 10% chance of going to a family dinner at Christmas. 
In both cases, we can say that the chances are slim but, "it is never over, until it is over"...

THE SECRETS OF GOD...

THE SECRETS OF GOD... 
By Bernard Bujold - 
There was a time in another of my lives when I considered Bishop Jean-Claude Turcotte to be a good and friendly acquaintance because he liked to socialize in Montreal social gatherings, of which I was also a regular. Bishop Turcotte, a former boxer, loved meeting people and we both shared a passion for detective stories. I even lent him my personal copy of "A Man in Full" by Tom Wolfe.  I was surprised to read the story about the secret management of sexual abuse by priests, a story worthy of Dan Brown, but the secret of the case is very similar to the police puzzles that the Cardinal loved. His predecessor, Archbishop Marc Ouellet, who almost became Pope, would also be involved in the secret management of the scandal.

CHRISTMAS 2020 WITH OR WITHOUT SANTA CLAUS - 
By Bernard Bujold -
It is November 25, precisely one month before Christmas 2020. If snow has fallen on the city, there is no guarantee that Santa Claus will come out on December 25th (because of the Corona virus). The Elves refuse to confirm the visit, except that they add that it might be them, who will replace the good Santa...with a mask! To be continued!

DONALD TRUMP AND THE ULTIMATE FIGHT

DONALD TRUMP AND THE ULTIMATE FIGHT... 
 By Bernard Bujold - 
People are asking me what I think of the fight that the US President Donald Trump is holding. My opinion is this: « In life, you have to fight for your beliefs to the end, otherwise I call it cowardice and living in your fears. I am far away from Donald's life, but in my small life as a Quebec quidam I never lived and I will never live in my fears. 
It is never over until it is over" 
Have a nice Sunday of November 2020.

CHRISTMAS 2020 - WITH OR WITHOUT SANTA (Part 1)

CHRISTMAS 2020 WITH OR WITHOUT SANTA CLAUS- 
By Bernard Bujold -
Will the 2020 Christmas be memorable? 
Maybe, but it won't necessarily be for the same reasons it was in the past because of the Coronavirus. Gatherings will be allowed (10 people maximum) but the festive and romantic spirit will be different. Even the Christmas tree has become different with its metallic shape.

THE GREAT BEAUTY OF SOCIAL MEDIA

THE GREAT BEAUTY OF SOCIAL MEDIA -
By Bernard Bujold-
Social media are great tools, but like any tool, you have to recognize its possibilities, weaknesses and dangers. Personally, I consider social media both as my living room and as my diary. The great advantage of the lounge is that you can play a kind of Star Trek captain by eliminating noisy visitors with one click. For example, since the American elections of November 3rd, I have been able to apply the effect: "Transporter Energizes" on a dozen of my too noisy Facebook contacts! Five or six others have been warned that they will be next... 
Long live social media!
