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

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.”

So he’s going to try to freeze bank account funds of people who rely on them to pay their bills, like heating and lighting utilities, as well as purchase food with? Sounds like he’s planning on creating a health and safety crisis.

“The stuff regime change is made of.”

We all know that is NOT happening. What people here don’t seem to realize is that the Democrats will do JUST THE SAME, and far worse, if they ever get the uncontested power they crave...something they don’t yet have, but are damn close.

So, just something to think about when you consider voting Libertarian or sitting out a November election to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’, as the next bank account you have frozen could EASILY be your own.

(and don’t go off on living for all-cash, all that does is raise flags and they’ll get you in 5 minutes)

Anyone still think this is about a virus?


It never was.

Only about complete control....based on their political $cience.

My grandparents kept all their money buried in large jugs. They said the government can steal from a bank account any time they want.

That money stank to high heaven when we dug it up.

He IS a health and safety crisis.

Prayers up, for all of these brave truckers and their supporters.

…bout time for EVERY Canadian to pull ALL funds out of their bank…


Soon to be followed by a decree limiting withdrawals from banks during the ‘emergency’. Or declare a bank holiday like FDR did.

Threatening to seize bank accts if they donated money or participated in cause.
Creating a database of anyone who attended rallies or contributing in any way. Threatening to seize tow trucks and drivers if they refuse to tow.

Meanwhile, Trudeau is reportedly preparing to invoke emergency powers

The essay noted that in November 2020, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed support for farmers in India who blockaded major highways to New Delhi in protest over new laws to remove price floors on crops.

Seems to me like a tacit admission that the truck protests are unusually effective.

Rules for radicals rule #10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”

Big test for Canada. How much coercion and silencing of legitimate protests are they willing to accept?

With a Dem admin it could be coming to us - if and when it should decide there is a national security and we all need to hand over the personal weapons we are "listed" as buying.

They digitally took them. If you attended any rally, you are known and a database was created.

It sounds like there will be a bank run tomorrow. I wouldn’t want to keep money in the bank.
