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.#CanadaIsAwesome #RiskManagement #CanPoli

Here is their summary on a worldwide outlook.
My initial thoughts as I read through the Canadian summary:
- While it mentions a political revolution in the U.S., with Trump removing or ignoring controls on his powers, it doesn't talk about how critical their midterms are.
- If the Democrats fail to take control of the House and Senate, then 2027 and beyond will be worse. Trump, senile and aging badly, will be a puppet for the worst elements in the U.S government.
- There's a real possibility that midterms could get canceled outright as Trump seeks absolute power.
- Smaller risks, in terms of impact, are food and health safety.
- The U.S. is removing all restrictions on profit in their food chain. Inspection agencies are being dismantled and legislation eliminated. Yet we continue to import goods from them.
- The anti-vaccine strategy at the very top is leading to surges in COVID, flu, measles and more. How long until that spills over our border. -

I don't see the midterms happening
We are incredibly stupid importing US food
The anti-vax strategy has already taken hold, that's why our hospitals are overwhelmed. -
