Bitcoin Can Fix Financial Deplatforming of Canada’s Truckers—But It Won’t Be Easy

 

The government controls on the traditional banking system also apply to custodial cryptocurrency services.

Things are getting pretty wild up in Canada. While other countries are removing their COVID restrictions, our neighbors to the north have decided to invoke emergency powers to seize the bank accounts of those who oppose lockdowns and mandates. Meanwhile, state media is prowling through a hacked database of convoy donors (isn’t that a bannable offense on Twitter?) to dox and open targets to harassment.

Financial deplatforming has always been a threat, but it’s mostly been a remote one. With these unprecedented banking punishments against the Canadian trucker convoy and its supporters, the reality of the controls baked into our financial system have become clear to the world.

The Cabbage Patch doll authoritarian

Justin Trudeau’s Canada is tyrannical government by the mediocre

At last, Canada has been freed from the menacing threat of bouncy castles. The bouncy castles first appeared in Ottawa earlier this month, brought in by the truckers who were peacefully protesting Covid restrictions and who Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later compared to Nazis. And you can understand why. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into a McDonald’s PlayPlace and felt the dark night of fascism descending all around me.

It is prudent to regard Ottawa as enemy territory and its public service predator class as pirates.

Don Martin: An emergency about nothing as tow trucks become the excuse to act

Pressed hard for an Emergencies Act justification with the protests gone, border blockades down and convoy leaders in custody, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reached deep into his leadership vacuum for rationalizations.

The emergency demanding the unprecedented use of the Act was . . . hesitant tow truck drivers, the prime minister declared.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau doubles down on taking away our rights

Where is the imminent, national security threat to Canada that merits the continued application of the Emergencies Act, approved Monday night by the Trudeau government with the “reluctant” support of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, while the Conservatives and Bloc Quebecois were opposed?

The extraordinary powers the act gives the government since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked it last Monday, will now be in effect for up to 30 days until mid-March, when it will expire, unless Parliament further extends it.

Jewish Teacher Subjected To Heil Hitler Salute By Students At Toronto’s Notorious Valley Park Middle School – Home of The Mosqueteria

Islamic cult prayer ritual performed at the TDSB’s Valley Park Middle School – note the menstruating girls at the forefront are segregated as “unclean.” An odd practice for an allegedly secular school board.

Another Toronto middle school investigating alleged antisemitic incident involving Nazi salute

… It happened at Valley Park Middle School, in the Overlea Boulevard and Don Mills Road area, back on Feb. 17.

The school did not provide details about the circumstances surrounding the incident in a letter sent home to parents, only calling it “upsetting and unacceptable.”

But in a news release issued on Tuesday the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center shed further light on what happened, based on conversations with a Grade 8 teacher who was present.

They said that the teacher, who is Jewish, reported that two students “stood up on a filing cabinet and performed the Nazi salute” in her classroom while a third shouted “Heil Hitler” from their desk.


This is a link to my original post on the Mosqueteria scandal. As it gained traction the MSM was forced to pay attention. It’s from way back in 2011, subsequently I learned from an insider that the Star chose to sit on this story many months in advance of my post – Islamic Ritual Prayer Conducted At Toronto District School Board Middle School

RCMP, banks and Ottawa say convoy protest donors won’t have accounts frozen after viral tweet said otherwise

The RCMP, banking sector and federal government said Monday that account-freezing powers bestowed under the Emergencies Act to help authorities deal with convoy protests do not affect donors to the protests, despite unsubstantiated claims by a Conservative MP that a constituent had her bank account frozen over a $50 contribution.

“At no time, did we provide a list of donors to Financial Institutions,” the RCMP said in a statement Monday.

The agency said while it had sent financial institutions a list of accounts to monitor and freeze, those accounts belonged to “individuals and companies suspected of involvement in illegal acts,” such as “influencers in the illegal protest in Ottawa” and vehicle owners and drivers “who did not want to leave the area impacted by the protest.”

Trudeau Decides He’s Not Done Cosplaying As A Dictator

In a move that anyone with a brain predicted, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today that he’s not ready to give up the “emergency powers” he invoked and used to clear out the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa.

During a press conference, Trudeau claimed that even though the “blockades” have been lifted, the “state of emergency is not over.” Apparently, he wants a little more time to continue cosplaying as a certain Cuban dictator who is definitely not his real father.

“Canada does not want to see itself this way”

The New York Times reported last weekend that police in Ottawa had arrested protesters at gunpoint, a claim that was quickly challenged and denounced by prominent Canadian journalists.

“This is wrong,” tweeted freelance reporter Justin Ling, who had been covering the police action from Ottawa. CBC News TV host Ginella Massa called the Times headline “false and incredibly dangerous rhetoric” and CBC radio host Piya Chattopadhyay asked “where are you getting this bs from?”.

‘We will actively look to identify you’: Ottawa police chief warns departed protesters

“If you are involved in this protest, we will actively look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges,” Ottawa police tweeted Sunday. A day earlier, interim Police Chief Steve Bell was asked whether police would continue to go after those protesters who had remained in Ottawa, even if they chose to go home at some point.

GiveSendGo Founder: ‘It‘s a Moment for People to Stand Up‘

The Freedom Convoy moved its fundraising activities to GiveSendGo after GoFundMe, a leftist-owned platform, froze a fundraiser that previously raised over $10 million.

GiveSendGo has since been the target of leftist cyberattacks, which has seen the names of donors leak onto the internet. Despite a policy against sharing hacked materials, Twitter has done nothing to stop the hacked data, which has been used by establishment journalists to dox and harass donors, to spread.

Lawyers Concerned About Ottawa Police’s Threat of Criminal Prosecution of Those ‘Involved in This Protest’

A Twitter post by the Ottawa Police Service threatening criminal prosecution for those “involved in this protest” raises concerns for some lawyers who fear people’s rights will be trampled upon.

“If you are involved in this protest, we will actively look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges,” the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) said on Twitter on Feb. 20.

Derek From, a lawyer based in Alberta, says he is concerned with the “vague and ambiguous threat” in the post.

The tyranny of high-status opinion

How the woke left wrote the script for the Canadian state’s tyrannical assault on the protesting truckers.

At first glance, it looked like one of the strangest, most incongruous moments of the great trucker uprising of 2022. There were the truckers and their working-class allies, in Ottawa, loudly agitating against Justin Trudeau’s vaccine mandates, when a bunch of hyper-woke, definitely not working-class counter-protesters rocked up to rail against this horn-honking throng. And what did they chant, these painfully PC counter-protesters? ‘Trans rights are human rights’, that’s what. As clear as anything, these supposed leftists, seemingly horrified by the sight of working-class men and women fighting for their rights, engaged in arguably the most striking non-sequitur of the 2020s so far – they brought transgenderism into an issue that has nothing whatsoever to do with transgenderism.
