Canada Keeps Writing Cheques. Ukraine Keeps Finding Corruption | The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast
The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast - Bitcoin News With a Canadian SpinShow Notes
Canada has sent billions to Ukraine. Now, new anti-corruption raids and warnings of a “systemic crisis of governance” are reigniting the question: how long should Ottawa keep writing cheques while healthcare, education, policing and affordability remain under pressure at home? Joey and Len unpack the Ukraine story, then head into full Canadian clown world: an alleged $6,000 Brampton dating-app extortion, a Toronto sexual-assault sentencing case where immigration consequences entered the calculation, the political argument over deporting criminal non-citizens, the UK’s immigration pamphlets, Shaun Chen’s municipal comeback, and Hamilton vs. Brampton—featuring a Honda, a machete and 36 damaged vehicles. Where should Canada’s priorities be? Drop your take below. Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast Website: https://canadianbitcoiners.com Subscribe and turn on notifications — new episodes live Monday nights.

MSCI adopted its non-operating company rule on October 15, and the companion spreadsheet of potentially impacted securities lists Strategy with a potential action of "Deleted" — roughly $40.3B of the $44.4B of float-adjusted market cap on that entire list. The affected names publish November 11 and the change takes effect at the close on November 30, leaving 19 days between the list and any forced selling. MSTR dropped 9.56% in a single session after the decision. Tonight, Joey and Len walk through the 4-of-5 ratio test, whether Strategy actually trips it, and what index removal does and does not do to the Bitcoin sitting behind the stock. MSCI's announcement names no company, and Strategy says MSCI-linked funds hold only 3.1% of its basic shares.

Ledger has confirmed an unauthorized hardware implant in an affected device sold through CryptoBilis, a reseller listed by Ledger. How can a hardware wallet pass a Genuine Check while a physical implant spies on its setup? Tonight, Joey and Len examine the reported supply-chain attack, the limits of device verification, and what this does to trust in self-custody. Loss totals remain third-party estimates; the confirmed implant does not establish that every Ledger device is compromised.
