BREAKING: Trudeau Announces Unprecedented Action, Freezing Bank Accounts Of ‘Freedom Convoy’ Protesters
The Daily Wire ^ | February 14th, 2022 | By Tim Pearce

Posted on 02/14/2022 3:31:58 PM PST by Mariner

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act on Monday in an effort to crack down on protesters that have shut down parts of Ottawa and various border crossings with the U.S.

Trudeau informed his cabinet and Canada’s premiers of his intent Monday morning. The prime minister’s announcement marks the first time the act, which replaced the War Measures Act in 1988, has been employed.

“After discussing with cabinet and caucus, after consultation with premiers from all provinces and territories, the federal government has invoked the emergencies act to supplement provincial and territorial capacity to address the blockades and occupations,” Trudeau announced in a press conference. “I want to be very clear, the scope of these measures will be time-limited, geographically targeted, as well as reasonable and proportionate to the threats they are meant to address. The emergencies act will be used to strengthen and support law enforcement agencies at all levels across the country.”

Now…truckers are more likely to be checked for a vax passport vs checked for illegal human trafficking or drugs.

Is a vax passport for truckers required on the southern US border?

No, murderers and rapists aren’t threats to the regime. In fact, they even help the regime by making some people fearful and call for increased regime powers to do something or to protect them.

This is utterly unlike a bunch of truckers who do honest work for a living and who want bodily sovereignty. They’re a deadly threat to the regime, and so must be destroyed.

What part of without truckers, we will all starve does Trudeau not understand?

Which brings up a question: How many of the truckers are independent, and support this movement, as opposed to how many are in some sort of union and do not? Whether or not a general trucking strike is possible depends on the answer.

It is easy for Canadian citizens to move money out of Canada with the non-Canada bank outside of Canadian government legal jurisdiction.

If a bank run materializes, and part of that is significant out of country transfers, look for that to be cut off with some sort of capital controls.

I note that in the US, the IRS has extremely onerous recording requirements for offshore assets, with confiscatory penalties for non-reporting of assets and income. All in the name of fairness, of course.

Trudeau wants to be a dictator. The Canadian Parliament needs to have a vote of no-confidence fast.

How embarrassing to react to a peaceful protest with capital controls.

Pure Liberal Fascism. The Cabbage Patch Commies of Ottawa are stirred up like a hornets nest. Their smug lives have met the majority of Canada,FREE, sweaty, hairy, happy , hard working men and women from Canada's transportation frontier.And my goodness the Cabbage Patch is horrified by the sight of Freedom!

And the Cabbage Patch Commie Committees are scared to death? They are so massively inconvenienced, while Truckers and nurses have lost all employment because they refused the vax, Ottawas mandarins are sorel;y pished thay cannot meader down Wellington Street for a latte three times a day.

Now Trudeau has to find a foreign source of destabilization in order to invoke the Emergency Measures Act, and he will use facts that are untrue to do so… ( donors of money to freedom truckers from around the world that Trudeau has not been able to stop), turn that into a boogie man under the beds of Canadians to instill fear,bend the arms of the Provinces in extortion because he controls their purses through grant payments, and then remove habeas corpus ( arrest with no probable cause that crime was committed, no bail, no right to a hearing) and put the entire nation of Canada under martial law,suspend elections , and suspend Parliament?

Trudeau wants this badly. It will allow him to jail his political opponents.Trudeau has scores to settle.A further violation of the Charter Rights and Freedoms of all Canadians.

Trudeau is creating more than a group of passive protestors here if he invokes the Emergency Measures Act. He is creating millions of Sans Coulottes, and a movement that will result in the complete downfall of the Liberal and NDP parties of Canada.

BRING IT BRANDEAU !

It proves the Freedom Convoy's point, that Trudeau intends to use the pandemic to remove Charter Rights and Freedoms from Canadians on a permanent basis: Limited Travel and Assembly rights as well as a limitation on Freedom of Speech. Now we will live under a new Mugabe, the new "tough" Trudeau has become a monster.

Its past time to organize a Non confidence motion in Parliament, dissolve Parliament and call an election, a real election , an informed election.

We need leaders who will assure that whatever they do, it will always be within the generous confines of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Lets get on with it.

Trudeau's real Emergency is that he is losing the political battle he has waged against ordinary Canadians for the past two and a half years in which he has engaged a permanent socialist reconstruction of Canada. Canada rejects it.

THE TRUDEAU MONSTER, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES !

Hey Canada ... How Do you like him now?

Officially, the vax passport is required at all border and entries. From dhs.gov:

As of Saturday, January 22, 2022, vaccination requirements will apply to additional groups of travelers entering the United States at land ports of entry (POEs) and ferry terminals.

Beginning on January 22, 2022, DHS will require non-U.S. individuals seeking to enter the United States via land ports of entry and ferry terminals at the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and provide related proof of vaccination, as COVID-19 cases continue to rise nationwide.

These new restrictions will apply to non-U.S. individuals who are traveling for both essential and non-essential reasons. They will not apply to U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, or U.S. nationals.

So what about illegals and the elites crossing borders? Doesn't seem to matter, does it?

Take notes people. We should be learning how to protest. Don’t be led into breaking the law in the heat of protesting (June 6) and now withdraw any money you have in the bank and find a way to keep it safe or close accounts. Know your banker. change your hair color or other ways to hide your identity. Yes, it’s come to that. We have to be more careful or we will never be able to stand up against Hitler style government. We are now the Underground.

“Occupation?” “Threats?”

That’s a good question. Although it wouldn’t take a general truckers’ strike to be effective. Canada is already experiencing shortages.

It is likely too late to grab the cash and run.

It's exactly that kind of uncertainty that causes a bank run. Just imagine what will happen to the system if 15% of the population wants to withdraw their funds from the bank and is unable to--for any reason?

Its. It going to work and looks like a high court would overturn it. The federal government” must determine that the emergency “exceeds the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it” or that the situation “seriously threatens” the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada.” Since most of the provinces have folded on the mandate, Castreu doesn’t have much to deal with. Ottawa is the problem and his governemnt is already starting to turn agsinst him.
