Canada’s Use of Terrorist Laws Against Peaceful Protest Draws International Condemnation
breitbart ^ | 15 Feb 2022 | ALLUM BOKHARI

Politicians in the United States and around the world condemned the Canadian government after it announced it would use anti-terrorism laws to quell a peaceful protest of its own citizens.

“We are broadening the scope of Canada’s anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules, so that they cover crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use,” said Canadian deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland at a press conference yesterday.

“These changes cover all forms of transactions including digital assets such as cryptocurrencies.”

“The illegal blockades have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms and some of the payment service providers they use are not fully captured under the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act.”

The Canadian government’s use of terrorism laws against a peaceful movement of its own citizens drew international condemnation.

The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, said Canada had lost its credibility on matters of democracy and freedom.

“Are these the people who like to give lessons to other countries about democracy and freedom?” asked Bukele. “This is one of the top ranking countries in the ‘democracy index’? Your credibility on these topics is now worth 0.”

Two candidates for the U.S. Senate in Ohio, J.D. Vance and Josh Mandel, also condemned the Canadian government’s actions.

“This is why crypto is taking off,” said Vance. “The regime will cut off your access to banking if you have the wrong politics.”

“If you think Biden is above this level of tyranny think again,” said Mandel. “Yet another reason why freedom-loving Americans should advance the cause of Bitcoin.”

“Trudeau has shown himself to be a psychopath,” said Arizona senate candidate Blake Masters.

The Canadian deputy prime minister’s implication that the government can somehow block cryptocurrency payments is something of a bluff.

There is no way for the government to intercept or freeze cryptocurrency transactions that are conducted via decentralized wallets.

While some cryptocurrency wallets are tied to centralized exchanges and can be blocked, others are completely decentralized – nothing more than unique strings of letters and numbers known as “hashes.”

Anyone who knows a wallet’s unique hash can send funds to that wallet, from anywhere in the world, and no government can stop that transaction.

Thanks Joe :)

Fifty plus years in office and never got a single thing right. Taking Joe's advice is the best thing Trudeau could have done to buoy the truckers case.

Fidel Castro’s bastard child should resign. Communism is so 1960’s.

So if they watch you do that from a phone or PC located in Canada, get some type of wire charge.

He needs a Where’s Waldo stocking cap to color coordinate with his background.

Excuse me, I suppose that should have been “Where’s Waldeau.”

Having lived and worked in Canada. I can say the people are a classic case of how to boil a frog.

Drop it into a pot of hot water and it jumps out. Drop it into a pot of cool water and increase the heat slowly. It's pretty much cooked by the time it realizes the water is boiling.

For decades Canada has given up simple and complex freedoms in exchange for their comfortable, albeit socialist, way of life. And now that the water is boiling, the majority think Castreau’s emergency powers are tickety-boo.

The USA is not too far behind.

Well, if some truckers rolled into DC we know what Joe would do.

The elites are hanging by a thread and they know it.

They will do everything they can to make sure we don’t

We will “cover crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers.”

Politicians who wish to control funding and payment services are unethical, out of bounds, and weakened by exhaustion. Such losers should give it up before they expire. News flash. All politicians are working for the Supreme Judge Who will demand an accounting. Here is the Bible quote I associate with Pelosi and her loser friends: “Hell from beneath is excited about you...” (Isaiah 14: 9).

Maybe something like a United Nations emergency proclamation would be appropriate. ??

Seems like they always had stuff to say, up until the last year or so.

On the plus side, the ghost of Stalin thinks that Trudeau is acting with great wisdom and restraint.
