Good Morning #Canada
Yesterday @SnowyCA posted an article from CTV that reported on the political risks faced by Canada in 2026. I hope Canadians read it and share it because IMO it's important.
The article is based on a report by the Eurasia Group, a consultancy that advises companies and countries about potential risks. They tie together known facts to form opinion on potential risks that could require deft navigation in the year ahead. Canada definitely faces more tariffs and trade challenges, we should expect U.S. interference in an Alberta referendum, it's likely we may have to come to the defence of Greenland, and if we resist too strongly we become a target.
The CTVNews article is attached via Snowy's post, and I'll link the original Eurasia Group summaries in the next post. It's not surprising yet incredible that so much global turmoil has resulted from arguably the worst person to be elected by a flawed American democracy.

HSBC’s mobile app reportedly restricts access on devices with sideloaded apps, impacting users who installed Bitwarden via F-Droid.

No malicious behavior has been alleged, and the situation appears tied to app-source detection rather than app function.

A practical example of how mobile threat models and platform controls can impact legitimate security tooling.

Why does #Japan , an #Earthquake prone country, have 2-phase wiring?

Surely it's cheaper to re-wire the country for 3-phase wiring than to risk the added cost of the #electric #fire #hazard ?
