In this video I introduce Project 1 which is an implementation of the classic game MineSweeper. We begin by constructing some needed prototype static meshes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2khbXhCIRc

Canadian Trends: The stark reality Albertans face
One of the biggest pet peeves I have in Canadians is our comfort in “politics”. We love to pride ourselves on our civility, our rule of law and process, but quite often this same pride blinds us to when these systems are used and weaponized against us. For this we
Continue readingCanadian Trends: Left or Right, infinite growth is the enemy and why de-platforming is a fatal mistake
A growing trend I’ve noticed recently in social media is the belief that by ignoring and isolating “bad actors” (effectively in many cases simply people you don’t agree with) that it diminishes their reach. It’s true, but only amongst your own increasingly isolated following. This also has a side effect,
Continue readingCanadian Trends: Alberta’s propaganda centre insists ‘Canadians will have to accept an increase in their own emissions for the greater good of reducing global emissions’
The ongoing theme here lately has been to really drive home that the propaganda centre’s purpose is not the international investment community, the opposition, or the fence sitters. It is for the base that’s already convinced, hungry for new nonsensical talking points to assure them the war efforts are underway
Continue readingCanadian Trends: The UCP and convenient incompetence
Originally today I had planned on beginning recording of project 1 for the Learn To Code series but I ended up having a respectful exchange earlier on Twitter, regarding the UCP and supposed ‘incompetence’. Its a response geared for the base. Your suggestion assumes thats not the intent. It is
Continue readingCanadian Trends: Learn To Code rational and the march towards the abyss
Well, the propaganda centre has had quite the month, hasn’t it? From two stolen logos to staffers calling themselves “journalists” to get interviews (now where do we often see this tactic deployed?), it’s a disaster. Ironically it now puts the government in the awkward position of having to defend the propaganda

In episode 1 we begin building a simple level for prototyping code. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tn0IcRUOQc

In episode 0 of Canadian Trends’ LearnToCode I talk about what the series is about and the approach that will be taken as well as go over the steps needed to prepare your development environment for the series.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7elUya4zf7o

When I started Canadian Trends 8 years ago I created a set of personal rules to govern myself and my work. These rules also extend to my Twitter. These rules are in place for one reason only, to facilitate the work. If I break my personal rules regarding my work

I remember something my late friend Michael C. Ruppert told us one night in our weekly CollapseNet conference call regarding Alex Jones. “Alex Jones is a liar and a trojan horse and anyone who lays their bed next to his will regret it”. This was in regards to a conversation

It’s finally here! The great $30 million per year energy war room who’s name has been politically corrected to the “Canadian Energy Centre” (because all the best propaganda masquerades as something it’s not). They’ve debuted with a fancy video in which “it just is” features as some sort of argument
Continue readingCanadian Trends: Alberta’s plan for the $2.4B? Helping defunct oil companies circumvent the Supreme Court
Jason Kenney has been working on multiple fronts to do an end run around the Supreme Court ruling in January that companies are obligated to fund orphan well cleanup before paying back creditors. Recently on Twitter, Matt Wolf – Kenney’s main “issue manager” (propagandist) stated regarding Kenney’s request from the
Continue readingCanadian Trends: Alberta’s Great Panderer
Four years ago during the 2015 federal election I suggested that Stephen Harper was basically throwing the election and that Justin Trudeau was the banking elite’s favorite and would probably win. The Conservative Party is a contender but I don’t believe Stephen Harper really wants to win. I haven’t talked

Canadian Trends has, for the moment, returned. Why? Because I’m an Albertan and the provincial government has effectively declared war on the people. They’ve declared war on me and anyone else who doesn’t think Alberta should bend over for big oil. The current government, formed from the UCP party, is

Trump. “Russia”. Clinton. “Democracy”. …Just ignore those pesky Wikileaks that prove it was all a lie aided by media collusion to manipulate people, because Russia or something. https://t.co/UUChBeMkwP — Richard Fantin (@RichardFantin) March 22, 2017 Logical discussion, and the capacity for it to be heard is now gone and with

In the last post in the ‘Thing Break Down’ series we briefly explored why I think the U.S. election is a complete fraud. It was really all I could stomach writing at the time, but there will be a part 4 which will explore beyond the election into what an

We’ve finally arrived. I now feel I have enough information to provide my opinion on this “election”, and frankly it’s not good. The political divisiveness has reached hysterical levels and based on what I’m seeing, this entire thing is fraud. I don’t mean a fraud in the sense that there
