Yes. I was astonished the three were “alumni”
It explains why a Podunk mayor like Butgig got so much exposure.
The fact that he can do it, and is willing to do it for political reasons is what really matters.
Canadians(and frankly we Americans should assume as much too, thou we have more safeguards) can no longer expect their personal finances to be secure from the arbitrary misbehavior of otherwise largely unaccountable politicians.
You will also find that SEVERAL of these ZYGL types are in XiJinBiden's Cabinet.
They've infiltrated PRC (Politically Repressive Canada) government VERY HEAVILY and unfortunately, the US government, though not as deeply.
For one, end a law that declares a protest illegal. 2nd make it illegal to freeze one’s accounts without due process and legal representation.
Soros, Trudeau and Freeland.
DugwayDuke is posting from the basement of Trudeau headquarters.
He gets a penny a post.
What’s keeping that fanatical imbecile in the WH from doing it to us? And there’s no profit in keeping your money in a bank account with the little or no interest it pays. I keep mine in because it’s supposedly a safe place to for my money - to keep it from being stolen. Well, that shoots that reason all to hell.
Canada needs a real Constitution & Bill of Rights, don’t they?
We have both, but a socialist/fascist/communist/marxist/leftist party in power, could/would suspend both, on a pretext of national emergency.
If they can make it illegal, they can reverse it and make it legal, if they have the power.
Looks like Justin and his minions really stepped in it.
That pride can be a wicked thing, Justin. Maybe you should have just met with the truckers and at least listened to them instead of going all scorched earth.
You are so right. Wouldn’t that be a sight to behold!
It really is amazing isn’t it. Like you said, say freeze and bam it is done. Not even a whiff of due process.
So what you’re saying is that you’re an AI robot?
It’s affecting American banks, too. Peepers are rethinking where their money is.
It's only a matter of time before you'll be able to skip the gift card all together and just swipe it on your phone or a prepaid crypto card.
You don’t have real free speech. You don’t have a real right to bear arms. Without out those first 2 rights you can’t defend any other rights. Your “rights” are only granted by the government. Your government can declare a national emergency, suspend your free speech and right to assemble. They can freeze your bank accounts, funds and credit. All without due process and recourse. They will do it again because they have that power.
You really think the government can’t shutdown crypto? What they did in Canada was a flex. The government said one word and suddenly all access to capitol was taken away. The bank institutions made you a non person. All the government did was enter your name on a list.
I don’t know any businesses that don’t accept cash. And I live in the peoples republic of Massachusetts.

Fine, he should be ‘called out’ for that.
Similarly, those who are condemning him for acting against the protestors should be ‘called out’ for supporting similar actions against BLM and ANTIFA.
They cannot shut down any crypto that is offline in a hard wallet unless they go to your house, physically take it and then torture the keys out of you. If you’re dumb enough to leave it all online in a centralized exchange, sure. They can take that all day long and they will. Those centralized exchanges are fairly new and not how crypto was originally designed. It was designed for exactly what happened here.
