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, 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)

Right, BobL. same with the “I-have-years-worth-of supplies” and the “I-hunt-my-food” crowds. Fools who will be soon picked off or droned.

I’ve read they can, not sure how accurate that is though.

Oh we’d never freeze your bank accounts.

You people are just nuts.

Conservatives are nuts.

Well... here we are.

Yup. I wonder what the reaction from the average Canadian is.

So are they going to go person-to-person asking their names and Canadian SSN?

Canada’s patriots need to stage a General Strike !

Shut it ALL down and rub the fascist maggots’ faces in the reality of who actually makes the country operable.

Isn’t that what the influx of illegals is for?

Can you imagine the increase in fatalities?

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

It appears so. Such a vote in Canada would be by its House. Perhaps if organized labor, consumers and all others who depend on the trucking industry raise a storm that will happen.

In the Bible, one of the last things to happen before Christ’s
return in to stop people’s ability to buy or sell based on
their joining with the Mark of the Beast or not.

That would have sounded pretty preposterous even twenty
years ago. Now they have the power and the will to do it.

I’m thinking this global movement behind the Great Reset,
may just be the Beast’s agent that the Bible predicts.

It would of course be the evil one behind it, he being
the real beast.

Evil is on a roll right now.

Good point about the droning, I’ll add that to my list. And the thing is, they won’t even know they’ve been droned (at least the survivors), all they’ll know is that there was a nasty fire that wiped out their hide-away.

Who would put their money back?

The banks are going to be the first ones to stop this Pfascism. How many Canadians will have overseas accounts going forward?

Conversely, who will play the part of the ice axe?

(theoretically, of course)

If your government can do this to your neighbors imagine what they can do to you.

“Stupefying. Wasn’t Canada once free?”

Nope, just an illusion of freedom, that’s why Trudeau could NEVER allow them to win, as that would have been real freedom. Same thing that China had from about 2000 to 2015, they were allowed to think they were free and with that their economy exploded.

In both cases, when freedom got to be a bit more than allowed, and started threatening the ruling class, the party was over and the people learned very quickly who holds all of the cards.

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

Perhaps you should launder it.
