Canadian banks will receive the names of people involved in “Freedom Convoy” protests that have descended on the nation’s capital, a first step in a promised financial crackdown on demonstrators being instituted by the far-left government of Justin Trudeau.
Bloomberg reports the Canadian Bankers Association confirmed the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has alerted banks to a list of names and made it available.
The institutions are reportedly still seeking clarity from law enforcement on how to handle the alleged protesters’ accounts, according to people familiar with the matter. But Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said some accounts have already been frozen, the news outlet reported.
Under the Emergencies Act invoked by this week by Trudeau, law enforcement officials have the ability to arrest people for obstruction of roadways and disruptive behaviour within a no-go exclusion zone. They also have the power to seize vehicles and freeze the same bank accounts.
Conservatives were quick to accuse Trudeau of embracing to emergency powers and of freezing bank accounts without evidence of extremist activity.
“Throughout the last three weeks, the prime minister has failed to take meaningful action to de-escalate the protest here or use any tools that he may have available,” Conservative Leader Candice Bergen said. “Instead, he has jumped straight to the most extreme measure.”
So we now have a hostile communist police force enforcing illegal execution of illegal dictates from a facist government currently running the country right NEXT DOOR!!
..maybe we should start taking in illegals from Canada?
They have NO AUTHORITY over American Truckers !!!!! Better NOT mess with them !!!!
Use cash! They cant do much when you don’t have a bank account. Or even a prepaid debit card.
Outsmart the Communists !!!! Illegal what they trying to do !!!!!
Like the “leaders” of our country, Canada’s leaders are intently focused on “teaching them a lesson”.
CONFISCATING trucks?
Ruining the finances of the protesters?
Arresting “disruptive” people”?
Using every legal and illegal means of punishment in order to show everyone else who is the REAL boss.
They have also forgotten their place as “SERVANTS”, not masters.
Hang them, too, if they dare to show up.
Like the USA, our “leaders” ALWAYS command from a distance and let OTHER Nazi wanna-be’s show up to risk life and limb for THEIR cause.
And these wanna-be Nazi’s are COMMITTED like the Gestapo of old.
Cracking heads and killing OTHER CITIZENS on the command of POLITICIANS.
“I was only following orders”, said the prisoner.
” I killed that woman and child because THEY TOLD ME TO”…..said the soon-to-be hanged prsioner.
It didn’t work then, and it won’t work now, Himmler.
Remember that, Heinrich.
“We, the People”. Now and forever.
