Canada’s Justice Minister: Trump Supporters ‘Oughta Be Worried’ About Frozen Bank Accounts
Breitbart ^ | 16 Feb 2022 | PAUL BOIS

Posted on 02/16/2022 7:19:52 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Canada’s Justice Minister, David Lametti, has told Trump supporters who donated to the “Freedom Convoy” to “be worried” about having their bank accounts frozen.

Speaking with CTV News, when Lametti was asked if regular citizens who donated to the “Freedom Convoy” protests in opposition to the vaccine mandates should be worried about having their assets frozen by the government, Lametti singled out pro-Trumpers. The reporter asked:

You just compared people who may have donated to this to the same people who maybe are funding a terrorist. I just want to be clear here, sir. A lot of folks say, ‘Look, I just don’t like your vaccine mandates and I donated to this, now it’s illegal, should I be worried that the bank can freeze my account?’ What’s your answer to that?

“Well, I think if you are a member of a pro-Trump movement who’s donating hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of dollars to this kind of thing, they oughta be worried,” responded Lametti.

Lametti also said that truckers could lose their trucking license if they participated in the protests or if their company permitted them to participate in the protest.

If they keep chattering like that, there will be an epic run on the banks...

Little known secret...

A typical bank these days would have enough to service about 20 customers withdrawing the maximum daily amount in cash from their account before the bank would run out of cash and close for the day...or longer...

Let me see if I understand this.
BLM burns businesses and the Canadian government finances them.

Freedom Convoy brings bounce-houses and the Canadian government seizes their bank accounts.

Right?

Yep, the world has gone bat sh!t crazy.

At the very least, if you’re an American with an account at TD Bank, get your money the hell out ASAP.

“Canada’s largest banks are all offline.

Royal Bank, BMO Bank of Montreal, CIBC Bank….”
***************************************************

You shouldn’t spread this kind of stuff which is verifiably false. Other FReepers who have Canadian bank accounts confirmed they could get into their accounts. I have no Canadian banking accounts but can check to see if their online sites are up or down. For example:

If trust in banks weakens, even a bit, the system collapses like a house of cards. People have very little tolerance for risk when their lives and livelihoods are at stake, and banks are highly leveraged.

Pajama boy Trudeau would love for one Trucker to fight back - then they’d ‘do the democrat thug routine’ and put everyone there in solitary confinement with no bail. Political prisoner like January 6th.

Biden and his goons have been ‘helping’ pajama boy.

Yeah .. people who freeze bank accounts over political ideology are the ones who probably should be afraid. I can think of no better example of metaphorically backing a rattlesnake into a corner.

...why would Americans be donating to a Canadian protest...

Because it is the current epicenter of the World wide resistant to the Covid tyranny madness. Canada is now Lexington and Concord without the blood (so far).

Gee maybe I’ll just go down to the bank and withdrawal all my money. Maybe others may think it’s prudent to have liquid assets at home…..
