The next national security crises will come from hybrid warfare. These areas are great first steps. But Canada needs to separate and harden its electrical, communication and digital grids and technologies against attacks from the USA.
Hansard, once again my brain is awash with all this information. To be honest, every hearing in the US congress is mainly conducted in public and I thought, well there is a government “in action”.

Somehow (having lived in Ottawa for 14 years before escaping in 2022) when I think of the “real machinery of government”, instead of humming, my mind goes to 1985 and Terry Gilliam’s manic movie “Brazil” but I could be biased.
"It is a tacit admission that in 2026, the next national security crisis might not come from a missile, but from a petri dish in a compromised lab." What great reporting!
