Comment Damn right, Canada is a much better place to live (Score 1) 326

Canada is not experiencing a brain drain to the US but a brain drain FROM the US. And as long as Trump and his policies are in place educated US citizens in the Stem fields will choose to live in Canada rather than stay in the States. So I advise Canada to maintain its immigration policy, you will gain much more than you will lose.

Comment The mainframe returns (Score 1) 660

This IBM's old method of doing business except they sold the mainframe for a price then charged you for, JCL, Fortran, Cobal and whatever. Eventually, people rebelled and we have Unix and open source. After there are open source tools that do what they do (note open source does not mean free), then they will either go back to an own it forever model or die.

Comment Constitution (Score 1) 565

Article four reads in part ...."but no new state shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state ....without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as the congress." I give it a snowballs chance in hell of becoming a reality. First of all it would double the number of Senators from California which no other state would want and the above is a pretty high hurdle..
