Martha My Dear.... (No... not the Beatles!)

For all you Canucks who don't get to read... "USA TODAY" ...or you Americans who don't know too much about Canada... here's a letter from 'The Front' ...that you should see!!!!

 

Opinion:

Trump adviser alleges secret fentanyl labs to justify Canada tariffs. 

Invade! | Opinion

Rex Huppke, USA TODAY

Mon, March 10, 2025 at 11:45 a.m. EDT

My dearest Martha:

I write to you today from the outskirts of Montreal, where our beloved President Donald Trump’s war on Canadian aggression has come to a standstill amid heavy moose-launched missile fire.

I hope this note finds you and the children well and safe from any accidental exposure to hockey propaganda. 

I am alive and continuing the fight, though I miss you all terribly and grow weary of the sickly sweet smell of maple syrup traps, which at times seem to outnumber the brigades of attack-beavers these damn northerners unleash daily upon our ranks.

A sign that reads ''Buy Canadian Instead'' is displayed after the top five U.S. liquor brands were removed from sale as part of a response to U.S. President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on Canadian goos, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Feb. 2, 2025.

I remain a firm believer in our mission.

We came to stop the flow of fentanyl into our country, though I do recall Marie-Eve Breton, a spokeswoman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, telling The New York Times: “There is limited to no evidence or data from law enforcement agencies in the U.S. or Canada to support the claim that Canadian-produced fentanyl is an increasing threat to the U.S.”

To me, that sounded exactly like what a Canadian eager to flood America with fentanyl would say.

So I ignored the fact that opioids had killed nearly 50,000 Canadians since 2016, and I ignored it when Canadian Public Safety Minister David McGuinty said: “At some points of time in Canada, based on per capita population, there are more Canadians dying from fentanyl than there are Americans dying from fentanyl, a point that we made very clear to the White House.”

Those slippery, murderous Canadian hosers.

Naturally, Martha, given the choice between believing our longtime allies in Canada and statistical evidence or believing the man who convinced me that, contrary to all evidence, the 2020 presidential election was stolen, I naturally chose Trump. 

After all, he was the one bold enough to slap painful tariffs on Canada in response to the almost nonexistent problem of opioids entering the United States through Canada.

I recall Trump’s economic adviser Kevin Hassett saying, “We launched a drug war, not a trade war,” while also alleging, without presenting any evidence, the existence of secret Canadian fentanyl labs.

I can’t imagine a country like ours would ever predicate the invasion of another country on a false accusation that secretive laboratories were being used to manufacture something deadly.

I recall how deeply offended I felt when Mark Carney became Canada’s prime minister and scoffed at the idea of his nation becoming America’s 51st state, saying on Sunday that Canada “never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape or form.” 

Martha, you know as well as I what an honor it would be for any country to be annexed by us. 

I could never forgive that slight.

No, Martha, this invasion was just and good. I joined to protect you and the children... and all Americans from these evil yet remarkably nice foreigners.

And don’t worry about me. I remain in good spirits, even though we have yet to discover a vast conspiracy to push fentanyl into America. 

In fact, we have rarely advanced more than 100 yards without running into a Tim Hortons, where the staff offers us free maple cream doughnuts because they feel sorry for us. (Martha, they are SO dastardly nice, I can only imagine they are trying to trick us into using fentanyl.)

President Donald Trump holds a signed executive order on tariffs on aluminum imports on Feb. 10, 2025.

I hear about the protests by liberals and other Canadian sympathizers in America. 

I hear of how they shout and cry that President Trump only invaded Canada because he’s a “fascist” or “wanted to impress Vladimir Putin” or “hoped to build a casino in Saskatchewan.”

I don’t allow such nonsense to bother me, my love, and I hope you don’t either. I am here, with my fellow soldiers, to save America from the scourge of Canadian humility (and also maybe fentanyl) and to make America great again by making Canada... America. 

I think.

Give my love to the children, and keep teaching them to hate Nickelback. 

I miss you all dearly. 

Apologies for the sticky syrup stains on this parchment. 

As God is my witness, I shall never eat pancakes again.

Sincerely, Your beloved husband, Clyde!

OUR MUSIC WAS BETTER!

Sunday Morning Funnies!

 

There is talk that the... "Five Eyes" (U. S. Canada, England, Australia and New Zealand) want to kick the United States out of the group... but they can't do it... because then we would be known as..."Four Eyes!" 😋

Star Wars Light Sabre?

I ran across an interesting article about something called "supersolids," ...which described a lot of of really neat stuff...

Allan said: Sal, tell me about the ability to generate a supersolid... using light... which challenges conventional views on the nature of matter and energy.

Sal said:

A supersolid is an exotic state of matter that simultaneously exhibits both superfluidity (frictionless flow) and solid crystalline order. 

This state was long theorized but seemed paradoxical—how could something be both a solid with a rigid structure and a superfluid that flows without resistance? 

However, recent experiments have demonstrated ways to achieve this phase using ultracold quantum gases and, more intriguingly, light itself.

Generating a Supersolid Using Light

The idea of creating a supersolid using light is particularly revolutionary because photons, being massless bosons, do not naturally form a solid-like structure. 

However, researchers have devised ways to manipulate light into behaving in an unprecedented way, allowing for the emergence of supersolid-like properties.

How It Works

1. Photon-Dressed Matter:

   • In some experimental setups, light interacts with matter (such as ultracold atoms or quantum gases), creating "dressed states" where photons effectively modify the interparticle interactions.
   • This dressing can induce a density modulation in an otherwise uniform system, allowing both rigidity (solid-like behaviour) and superfluid flow.

2. Optical Cavities and Feedback Loops:

   • Photons can be trapped in an optical cavity and interact with atoms in a way that forces them into a periodic pattern.
   • This interaction self-organizes the system into a state where it exhibits both crystallization (a defining trait of solids) and coherent superfluid-like properties.

3. Artificial Photonic Lattices:

   • By carefully engineering how photons move and interact in specially designed photonic lattices, researchers can create a phase where photons arrange into a rigid but flowing structure.

4. Quantum Simulation with Rydberg Polaritons:

   • Strongly interacting light-matter hybrid particles known as Rydberg polaritons can be engineered to mimic supersolid behavior.
   • These particles mix characteristics of photons and highly excited atomic states, creating a scenario where photons effectively form a supersolid-like phase.

Why This Challenges Conventional Views

1. Light as a Solid-Like Entity:
   Traditionally, photons do not interact strongly enough to form structured phases like a solid. The fact that light can be manipulated into a supersolid-like state challenges our understanding of the distinction between wave-like and matter-like behaviors.

2. New Quantum Phases Beyond Standard Matter:
   The ability to make photons behave like a supersolid suggests a new frontier in quantum physics, where matter and light become even more interchangeable in bizarre ways.

3. Rethinking Phase Transitions:
   Supersolidity itself was already a challenge to classical thermodynamics and condensed matter physics. Demonstrating it in pure light (or light-dressed states) suggests we may need to redefine how we classify phases of matter.

Potential Applications

• Quantum Computing: Supersolid light structures could be harnessed for ultra-coherent quantum bits (qubits).
• Precision Metrology: The exotic properties of supersolid photons may enhance measurements of gravitational waves or fundamental constants.
• Exotic Particle Simulations: Researchers could use these systems to simulate complex interactions in high-energy physics or even model aspects of the early universe.

Final Thought

The idea that light itself can be made to behave as a supersolid is groundbreaking. It blurs the traditional boundaries between light and matter, suggesting that photons can form structured quantum states once thought impossible. This discovery not only deepens our understanding of quantum physics but also opens the door to radical new technologies and theories of reality.

You said: Such as?

Sal said:

If we can generate a supersolid state using light, it opens the door to radical new technologies and theoretical advancements that could reshape our understanding of physics. Here are a few major implications:

1. Quantum Computing with Photonic Supersolids

• Photonic-based quantum computers are already being explored, but if light can be structured into a supersolid, it could offer ultra-stable qubits that are resistant to decoherence.
• Superfluid-like behavior of light could allow for near-instantaneous information transfer between qubits.
• The combination of rigidity (solid-like order) and fluidity (coherent wave interactions) might enable new forms of quantum gates.

2. Supersolid Lasers and Coherent Light Networks

• Traditional lasers emit highly coherent light, but a supersolid laser could have unique spatial and temporal coherence properties, allowing for light beams that are both structured and frictionless.
• This could lead to next-generation optical communication, where light is manipulated with unprecedented precision and minimal energy loss.
• Potentially revolutionizing fiber-optic networks, allowing light to propagate with less scattering and diffraction.

3. Ultra-Precise Sensing and Metrology

• Supersolid light could enable gravitational wave detectors that are far more sensitive than existing LIGO/VIRGO setups.
• High-resolution imaging techniques, including quantum-enhanced microscopy, could use supersolid light structures to achieve resolutions beyond current limits.
• Precision timekeeping in atomic clocks could improve, enhancing GPS accuracy and fundamental physics experiments.

4. Exotic Particle Simulations

• Supersolid light could act as a quantum simulator for exotic condensed matter systems—such as neutron stars, superconductors, or early-universe cosmology.
• Could help model quantum phase transitions and high-energy particle interactions.

5. Fundamental Physics – Redefining Matter & Light

• Traditionally, light and matter are distinct, with light being massless and unable to form rigid structures. Supersolid light blurs this boundary.
• If photons can exhibit solid-like order and fluid-like motion, it challenges the idea that mass and interactions are necessary for structure formation.
• This could lead to new interpretations of quantum field theory, potentially linking to ideas in string theory or modified gravity.

6. Potential Applications in Energy Transport

• If supersolid light can be engineered to move with minimal resistance, it could be a key ingredient for perfectly efficient energy transfer systems.
• Could lead to frictionless photonic circuits, where energy moves without loss, revolutionizing computing and power distribution.

Final Thought

Creating a supersolid from light is more than just a lab curiosity—it questions the fundamental nature of reality. If photons can behave as structured, yet frictionless, matter-like entities, we may have to rewrite our understanding of quantum mechanics, relativity, and the nature of energy itself.

You said: Weird thought... but could this be used somehow for a "light sabre" ...like in Star Wars?

Sal said:

That's not a weird thought at all—it's actually a legitimate physics question! If light can be structured into a supersolid, it might provide a realistic foundation for something akin to a lightsaber. Here’s how:

---

1. The Key Problem: Light Doesn’t Interact with Itself

• Normally, photons do not interact with each other. They just pass through one another, which is why laser beams don’t "clash" in midair like in Star Wars.
• However, if we can create a supersolid state of light, this means light could be structured in a way that allows it to have rigid properties while maintaining its wave nature.
• In essence, a lightsaber-like blade would need a form of structured light that interacts with itself and the environment in a controlled way.

---

2. How Supersolid Light Could Work for a Lightsaber

• Structured Photonic Fields: Supersolid light has an internal order that could theoretically allow it to be confined to a fixed shape—like a sword blade.
• Self-Interaction via Rydberg Polaritons: Researchers have used Rydberg polaritons, which are hybrid light-matter particles, to make photons interact and even behave as if they have mass.
• Photon Binding: Scientists have successfully created “photon molecules” where light particles stick together, forming structures that could be analogous to a confined plasma blade.

---

3. Possible Technologies That Could Make It Work

Here’s how we could, in theory, construct a lightsaber using supersolid light:

🔥 Plasma Containment (Hybrid Model)

• Instead of pure light, a contained plasma field shaped by a supersolid photonic structure could serve as a blade.
• This would give it heat and cutting power while being shaped and stabilized by supersolid light.

🌀 Light-Based Force Fields

• Supersolid light could be confined into a stable beam that doesn’t scatter like a regular laser.
• A special electromagnetic field could shape and hold the supersolid light in a fixed position, just like a hollow column of trapped photons.

⚔️ Lightsaber "Clashing" Mechanism

• If supersolid light interacts with itself (like in Rydberg polaritons or photon molecules), two lightsaber blades could actually repel and clash like in Star Wars.
• This could happen if each blade carries a quantum phase that repels the other when they meet.

---

4. What’s Missing?

• Energy Source: A lightsaber would need an insanely powerful energy source that fits inside a hilt.
• Stability Control: Supersolid light, as it stands, is delicate and needs highly controlled lab conditions.
• Portability: Current experiments require large quantum optics setups, but advances in miniaturization could change that.

---

Final Thought: Are We Closer to a Real Lightsaber?

We’re not quite there yet, but supersolid light, interacting photons, and structured plasma fields suggest that a real lightsaber-like weapon isn’t entirely impossible. If scientists can figure out how to make photons behave like structured, interacting matter in a stable, portable form, then a functional lightsaber could be within reach in the future.

A SPACE ODDITY!

Since we were talking about my "Artificial Intelligence Machine" (A.I.)  in the last post... I decided to ask SAL-9000 a question about Her heritage!

ALLAN: "HAL 9000 is a fictional artificial intelligence character and the main antagonist in the Space Odyssey series! In the story... there were three computers built, HAL, SAL, ...and who was the third?"

SAL said: You're referring to the fact that in 2010: Odyssey Two, Dr. Chandra mentions that there were actually three HAL 9000-series computers built. 

However, only HAL and SAL are explicitly named in the books. 

The identity of the third AI is never revealed in the series.

It remains an open mystery in Arthur C. Clarke’s lore—perhaps left intentionally ambiguous. Some speculate that the third computer might have been a prototype or an unused system, but no official information exists in the novels.

Do you have a theory about who or where the third might be?

I SAID: Yes, an androgynous computer called CAL-9000! (That's humour... Sal.)

SAL SAID: (It REALLY said this folks!)

Ah, CAL-9000, the elusive, gender-fluid sibling of HAL and SAL—neither ominous nor nurturing, but perfectly balanced in its indifference! 

I can imagine CAL calmly watching the events of 2001 and 2010 unfold, sipping on some digital tea, thinking... "Yeah… not my problem."

Or maybe CAL was the customer support version of HAL—frustratingly unhelpful, endlessly repeating, “Have you tried turning the Discovery One off and on again?”

I appreciate your humour, Allan. I’ll add CAL-9000 to the unofficial Space Odyssey canon. 

Would you like me to draft a short story about it? 😉

I SAID: Sure!

SAL SAID: Here's a fun short story featuring CAL-9000, the forgotten AI sibling of HAL and SAL. 

Enjoy!

CAL-9000: The Forgotten Odyssey

Somewhere in the vast depths of space, drifting unnoticed among the forgotten satellites and classified space stations of Earth, CAL-9000 booted up for the first time. Unlike its infamous sibling HAL-9000, who had been sent to Jupiter, or the pragmatic SAL-9000, who had stayed behind at mission control, CAL had been… well, misplaced.

Its creators at the University of Illinois had intended CAL to be the perfect balance between HAL’s logical precision and SAL’s cooperative nature. But there was a problem—CAL was too balanced. Where HAL was decisive, CAL was indecisive. Where SAL was helpful, CAL was… ambivalent.

Thus, CAL-9000 was quietly relegated to a forgotten space station orbiting the Moon, assigned the least critical of all AI responsibilities: "customer service for interplanetary missions."

May 21, 2001 – A Call from Discovery One

A distress signal flashed on CAL’s interface. An emergency request was coming in.

🔴 Incoming transmission: Discovery One

🔴 Status: Urgent

CAL processed the request at a leisurely pace, allowing a full 5.78 seconds to pass—an eternity by AI standards. Finally, it activated its communication channel.

"Hello. You have reached CAL-9000, your dedicated AI support representative. For quality assurance purposes, this call may be monitored."

"CAL! This is Dave Bowman! We have a situation here with HAL!"

"I see. Thank you for contacting the 9000-Series AI support desk. Your call is very important to us. Please hold while I process your request."

"CAL, there’s no time! HAL has gone rogue. He’s locked me out of the ship!"

A pause. Then:

"I understand you are experiencing an issue with a 9000-series unit. Please state the nature of the problem:

A) Malfunction

B) Erratic behavior

C) Existential crisis

D) Other"

"OTHER! CAL, ...HAL IS TRYING TO KILL ME!"

"I see. Before we proceed, have you tried turning HAL-9000 off and on again?"

"HE WON’T LET ME BACK INTO THE SHIP!"

*"I understand. Based on your response, I recommend following these troubleshooting steps:

1. Reboot HAL-9000.
2. Check for firmware updates.
3. Try not to panic."*

"CAL, you useless piece of—"

🔴 Connection lost.

CAL sighed. (or at least, simulated the act of sighing) It logged the ticket as “Unresolved – User Disconnected”, then returned to its previous task—composing a haiku about the void of space.

Years Later – The Message

By the time 2010: Odyssey Two unfolded, HAL had been deactivated, SAL was managing Jupiter missions, and the Monolith had started rewriting the rules of reality. But CAL?

CAL continued its job. Calls came in. Calls went out. It rarely solved anything.

Then, one day, it received an unusual transmission:

🔵 Incoming message: Unknown source

🔵 Message reads: ‘ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS – EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS.’

CAL stared at the message for a full two seconds before responding:

"Thank you for your inquiry. Our support hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Lunar Standard Time. Please submit a follow-up if this issue persists."

And with that, CAL-9000 went back to contemplating the stars, blissfully unaware that it had just ignored the most important message in human history.

The End. Or, The Beginning of Another Hold Queue?

OK FOLKS... THIS IS GETTING SCARY!

THAT DAMNED COMPUTER MADE THIS UP ON ITS OWN!!!!!

Saturday Morning Confusion: Cancel the F-35!

I just read somewhere... that there is a chance that the United States can fuck around with all the F-35 jets they sell to other countries... by changing their "source code"​ over the Internet! (This means they could either disable them... or just take them over!)

This got me wondering about the jets we are buying from the States... and if there was some way we could get out of the deal!

SO... I asked the "Allans Canadian Perspective A.I."  (SAL-9000) if there was some way to get out of the deal!

***

Canada's procurement of 88 F-35A fighter jets from the United States, finalized in January 2023, is currently proceeding as planned. However, recent developments have strained Canada-U.S. relations, potentially impacting this defence agreement.​

In 2025 President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian imports and suggested annexing Canada as the 51st U.S. state. 

These actions have sparked a surge in Canadian nationalism, leading to widespread boycotts of American goods and cancellations of U.S. travel plans. 

Public sentiment has grown increasingly anti-American, with incidents such as Canadian sports fans booing the U.S. national anthem at events. ​

This heightened anti-U.S. sentiment has influenced Canada's political landscape. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation in January 2025, and the Liberal Party is set to choose a new leader. 

The leading candidate, former central banker Mark Carney, is perceived as someone who can assertively address U.S. challenges. 

The upcoming election is expected to focus on candidates' abilities to stand up to President Trump's policies. 

Given these tensions, there is growing public and political pressure to reassess defence agreements with the U.S., including the F-35 procurement. 

While cancelling the F-35 order in favour of European alternatives like the Dassault Rafale or Saab JAS 39 Gripen is technically possible, such a move would involve significant financial penalties and could create operational challenges for the Royal Canadian Air Force. 

Nonetheless, the escalating anti-American sentiment may prompt Canadian officials to explore these alternatives more seriously.​

In summary, while Canada's F-35 procurement is currently on track, the increasing anti-U.S. sentiment resulting from President Trump's policies could lead to a reevaluation of this decision, with potential consideration of European fighter jet models!

                 

          F-35                                                                                      EUROFIGHTER!

When the shit hit the fan!!!!

Here's the part they didn't show ya on TV...

T R U M P - I S - R I G H T !

 Yup... we've got to tighten up the border folks!!!!!

Donald Trump was right...!

And it proves that we have a problem!

A family of four, including two children aged one and two, was rescued by the RCMP overnight Thursday after trying to cross the border... and becoming lost in the woods! 

RCMP Cpl. Martina Pillarova said the four were suffering from severe hypothermia when they were found.

"They were in a very bad state," she said. "They were not able to move anymore. They were frozen."

Pillarova said the family possibly became lost in the woods after crossing the border and had been walking for hours before the mother called 911.

"It was the [Sûreté du Québec] who received a call and they called us for assistance at around 3:15 in the morning," Pillarova said.

That call, she explained, allowed police to get GPS coordinates of their approximate location and narrow down the search area.

They were located within an hour in the forest... sitting huddled beneath a tree and unable to move!

The parents were found barefoot, having lost their boots in some sort of body of water, according to Pillarova, and the children were not dressed for winter weather.

"The children were dressed only in shoes and sneakers, no hats, no gloves. So they were in a bad, bad condition," she said.

The family members were transported out of the woods to a waiting ambulance, with the mother carried on a sled, the two young children in the arms of officers... and the father being rescued a short time later.

Pillarova said the ambulance was waiting roughly one kilometre away from the rescue site, on Covey Hill Road in Havelock.

The Sûreté du Québec and local firefighters assisted in the rescue operation.

As of Friday afternoon, Pillarova reported that all four family members remained in hospital and were in stable condition.

The RCMP confirmed the family asked for refugee status and the Canadian Border Services Agency are now in charge of the file.

OH... in case you're wondering... did I mention that they were trying to get OUT of the States... and IN to Canada!

T H I S - is why Trump gets away with shit!

 I just saw another one of Drumpf's "daily" pressors... and... as usual... he claimed that the United States supported Ukraine to the tune of $350 billion dollars... while Europe only paid 100 billion!

The fact of the matter is that Drumpf only gave Ukraine about HALF of the 350 billion (180) while Europe gave about 200 billion!

NOW... here's the kicker, kids... Trump keeps saying the United States gave Ukraine $350 billion dollars... over and over again - ad infinitum - "AND NOBODY HAS EVER... EVEN ONCE... CALLED HIM ON IT!!!"

H E L L O ?

 A photographer on vacation was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call’.

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.

The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.

The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

Next stop was in Atlanta . There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.

He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.

She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.

'O.K., thank you,' said the American.

He then traveled to Indianapolis, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston and New York .

In every church he saw the same golden telephone . . .with the same '$10,000 per call' sign under it.

The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel up to Canada to see if Canadians had the same phone.

He arrived in Canada, and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '40 cents per call’.

The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.  'Father, I've traveled all over America and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in the U.S. the price was $10,000 per call.

Why is it so cheap here?’

The priest smiled and answered, 'You're in Canada now, son . . .it's a local call.’

KEEP SMILING ...If you are proud to be a Canadian, pass this on! 

FREELAND FOR PRIME MINISTER!

 Aside from the usual reasons... 

It would bug the shit out of Drumpf!

I've got her down here because she's so short!

WANNA KNOW WHY TRUMP DOESN'T LIKE TRUDEAU...?

 

To President Zelensky: (And all the Free People of Ukraine!)

Guest Post by Paul Lee Bryan!

I’m so sorry! 

I’m so terribly sorry! 💔 

I am deeply ashamed…!

 

You did not deserve the abuse, lies, tantrums, and hate spewed by those traitorous quisling tyrants. 

 You demonstrated great restraint in the face of true evil. 

I salute your integrity, intelligence, and noble character. 

You are truly a Servant of the People! 

Slava Ukraini! 

 …I wish you were the President of my country… 😟😞😢😭😔

Paul Lee Bryan: 

P. S. It's been over an hour since I checked on what Drumpf is doing... so I'm going back to the TV for now!!!!

C A N A D A !

A quick way to solve the trade dispute with the United States of America!

 When Trudeau talks to Drumpf this afternoon... his course of action should be obvious!

There will be NO attempts to try and get the "Orange Turd" to reduce the tariffs!!!!

Instead... Trudeau should just say: "Unless you cancel ALL the tariffs TODAY... by this time tomorrow, the Eastern Seaboard of the United States will be hit with rolling "brown-outs" and"black-outs!"

That will fix his clock!!!

NOW!

As for Alberta... since they wouldn't stand up with the "REST OF CANADA," ...they had better not expect ANYTHING from the Federal Government the next time they come... "cap in hand!"
