🚨Canada’s largest banks are all offline.
Royal Bank, BMO Bank of Montreal, CIBC Bank.
Did Trudeau try to hack into their databases?
Did the U.S. hack them first, to stop it?
What could cause all three to crash on the same day — hours after Trudeau’s expropriation order?

“Canada’s largest banks are all offline,” Rebel News editor Ezra Levant reported. “Royal Bank, BMO Bank of Montreal, CIBC Bank.”
“Did Trudeau try to hack into their databases?” Levant asked. “Did the U.S. hack them first, to stop it? What could cause all three to crash on the same day — hours after Trudeau’s expropriation order?”
TD Canada Trust and Scotiabank were also reported to be “offline.”

It’s happening.
Trudeau has crushed consumer confidence in the banks in less than 48 hours. Some ATMs are still allowing cash to be pulled out but going empty.
The bank has now locked up EVERYONES funds!

There had been recent chatter by Freedom Convoy protesters that a “run on the banks” might be a potential economic reprisal against the Canadian government.
On Tuesday, Trudeau announced that he would be invoking the Emergencies Act, formerly known as the War Measures Act, an action tantamount to declaring martial law.
Trudeau claimed that the scope of the measures would be “time-limited”, “reasonable and proportionate.” He also repeated his claim that the military would not be deployed. Under the Emergencies Act, which is yet to be approved by parliament, banks can freeze the personal accounts of anyone linked with the Freedom Convoy protests.
“This is about following the money. This is about stopping the financing of these illegal blockades,” Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said at a press conference on Monday.
“We are today serving notice if your truck is being used in these illegal blockades, your corporate accounts will be frozen. The insurance on your vehicle will be suspended,” she continued, adding that personal financial accounts would be included in the order.
The AP reported on Wednesday that the Freedom Convoy had peacefully lifted the last economic blockade amid major concessions on Covid restrictions from five provinces: Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Prince Edward Island.
After raising over $9 million for the Freedom Convoy movement and having their funds blocked and even seized by private banks, Christian crowdsourcing platform GiveSendGo was recently hacked and taken offline.
Now, we know the face of the hacker, who is openly bragging about the hack and leaking the personal information of those who donated (statement of transparency: the writer also donated to the peaceful protest).

Your client Aubrey Cottle is on TikTok bragging about hacking your competitor @GiveSendGo
Cyber attack is of course,a criminal offense.
Your stated policy is to NOT fund criminal activity
Yet you’re actively allowing him to use your crowdfunding services.
Explain this
An S3 bucket run by GiveSendGo was found to be leaking pics of drivers licenses, military IDs, passports, & other sensitive docs just days ago.
Source tells me that despite an attempted fix, the bucket was exploited again to allow the takeover of the site.
[Lots more at link about the hacking and related topics, plus the twtts are linkable and images are visible.]
Wouldn’t it be something if what happened was the banks’ collective way of throwing down the gauntlet to Castro’s bastard?
FWIW, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland is Ukrainian.
