The EU is basically slapping Canadians with a reciprocal policy. Canada has the eTA (electronic travel authorization) which they have to file and pay 7$ to visit, even if they don't need a visa. This is the same in reverse.

It seems like they also have a "password grid" multi-factor option that you can print. I hate seeing custom authentication schemes (or insecure ones like SMS) instead of standards like OATH-TOTP, but I do applaud having accessibility options.

This! I see the hype around AI and it's like everyone has lost their mind. You wouldn't accept a statistical study without sampling info (dataset size, origin, selection, filtering, bias, reproductibility, etc). Why would we not ask the same with LLM or generative AI? It's like everyone got so excited about models built on large datasets that they forgot we already had procedures for handling data.

You might be surprised how inefficient banks can be when it comes to tech. As years go by I see an increase of tech workers but a decrease of experienced or competent ones. My view is those competent tech workers tend to be more expensive than Canadian companies are willing to pay, thus end up hiring 10x the staff. The banks simply have more money to waste that way and thus are doing so by hiring a lot of tech workers.

not the way I would have done it

It could be a legitimate criticism. Sticking to a codebase style and to the language idioms improves clarity and thus maintainability. But then, that means the way to do it should already be clear.
