I see Romanians everywhere..

..except in Romania. Part of the reason why is that I’m not in Romania. But it’s also because so many have left the country and the population is in a precipitous decline.

imageA while back, I saw a security professional explaining dDOS on CTV. He had a Romanian-sounding name and I was going to write about him. I probably have already on my tumblr blog, but now I cannot find it. I routinely find articles in the major press on cybersecurity signed by Romanian-sounding names. In fact, the male journalists have probably moved on to higher-paying endeavors and it is mostly Romanian women who dominate the tech press.

So I was thrilled to discover a Romanian in diaspora who has more to do with business and law than with tech (although he’s seemingly not eschewing tech altogether). I watched him on TVO’s The Agenda, starting off strongly by contradicting Smitherman that there is and will be a shortage of cannabis products.

(to be finished later, I want to write now about a former classmate “from generala”)
