Canada Moves to Make Asset Freezing Under Emergencies Act Permanent: “Nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program.”

Canada has moved to make the asset freezing part of its Emergencies Act, which was used to target supporters of the Freedom Convoy protests, a permanent fixture.

Wow, who saw that one coming?

In order to stop what the Trudeau regime referred to as “illegal blockades,” the government threatened to freeze the bank accounts of demonstrators and anyone who donated money to them.

Under the Emergencies Act, bank are required to freeze accounts without a court order, while all crowdfunding platforms and payment providers are mandated to provide information to FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada).

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced that many of the measures imposed ‘temporarily’ to deal with the protesters (after they had been suitably demonized as violent extremists) will now become permanent.

“We used all the tools that we had prior to the invocation of the Emergencies Act and we determined we needed some additional tools,” Freeland announced

“Some of those tools we will be putting forward measures to put those tools permanently in place. The authorities of FINTRAC, I believe, do need to be expanded to cover crowdsourcing platforms and payment platforms,” she added.

Ronald Reagan has been proven right again.

“Nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program.”

Meanwhile, as we previously highlighted, such measures are likely to exclude protected classes (basically anyone who isn’t a native Canadian or white), with groups such as immigrants and refugees enjoying an exemption.

So we see that this ugly little bitch learned from Twitter and FB that it’s fun to freeze accounts.

Who needs a court order? She and her un-elected technocrats will determine if they will allow you to buy food and pay rent? And if you can’t, she’ll come for your kids - because you can’t ‘care’ for them. Bet on it.

Truckers and the people need to surround Ottowa, sieze the airports and find these people. No more love. No more peace.

When peaceful protests are no longer allowed - it’s time to change.

Of course he’s not alone. He’s a minion of the insane Ba’alist Klaus Scwab. The crazy deputy PM of Trudeau’s is an unhinged nazi psychopath. Trudeau brought in an unidentified para military force to beat up the protestors. Who are they? They weren’t provincial police or Canadian military.

I have no doubt that the US Govt has also been secretly training such an SS style paramilitary force as well.

I’d recommend ditching any Canadian bank even if you use them from the US. That’s because at the end of the day they’re Canadian banks and they will do what Trudeau tells them to do plus you can count on the Biden team to laugh at you if you lose your money and ask for help getting it back.

The government of Canada has just proclaimed that it can and will steal the money of Canadian citizens every time it wants to for every reason that it wants to.

RE: When is the next scheduled election or do emergency powers suspend those too?

Unless Parliament issues a NO CONFIDENCE vote, Trudeau is unlikely to be voted out this year. His party just won the election as a minority government last September 2021.

Just think how elections will go if they ever have them again. The opposition can be immediately defunded and arrested on bogus charges. Asset forfeiture because anyone opposing government is a terrorist.

Anyone opposing Trudeau can be charged as a terrorist, assets seized and arrested on bogus charges. Elections could happen but they’d have a fake opposition for the fake media.
