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.”

And that is the thing…employee truckers can’t just support the movement unless they are willing to lose their jobs.

But, there is already a shortage of truckers in Canada, so if enough employee truckers decide to take sick days, companies/corporations will get on board.

In saying that…they can strike for 2 weeks and pick the company they work for afterwards.

This is probably coming to a country near us... so what is the answer?

Having a certain amount of cash on hand in ones’ home is always advisable, but seriously, what do you with the $ in s@vings accounts that the gov-ment could/would/will confiscate if they don’t like your peaceful pr0test???

"Father God, may You turn every weapon fashioned by the enemy against them. In Jesus Name i ask, Amen."

Amen. Holy Father, please bless, and protect the protesters, and the truckers in the convoys in Canada, and around the world, along with their families. Please let them all be victorious against their enemies, foreign and domestic. Let freedom reign. Let evil be destroyed. Amen.

Trudeau won’t starve and he doesn’t care if innocent others do. He’s a tyrant. Canada will be the newest Cuba unless the truckers and all Canadians decide to do something about him.

Freezing Bank accounts is what nations do in a war.......so Trudeau sees this as a war between himself and his citizens.....

This will make or break the protests. And Trudeau.

if it breaks the protests, then it will make Baby Castro permanent Primer for Life. The question arises if that happens who will play the part of Che and murder a sizable percentage of Canadians?

Criminal government doing what criminal government does. Does anyone think the DHS and president apple sauce brains would not do the same thing in the US?

I’ll add…

I’m in Alberta and have a couple of open positions available for construction work. So I periodically jump onto a few job posting sites to check out who is hiring etc.

I would say on many sites Class 1, or Class A postings are 40% of all vacancies posted.

When, pray tell, throughout history has such ever been true? There is always a “reason” to expand such measures. Canada you are now a dictatorship.

Don’t worry, @JustinTrudeau isn’t “calling in the military”. He is just authorizing banks to unilaterally freeze your accounts on the basis of suspicion alone, no court order required, with legal immunity. I hope everyone realizes how much more dangerous this is than the military5:15 PM · Feb 14, 2022

Wonder if Canada like UK can have a vote of no confidence in their PM and call for new elections?
