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 dictator king Justin Trudeau.
Liberals accused GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis of misdoings, and yet it's Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo who's out of office. Liberals accused Fox News of shady business practices, but it's CNN that has imploded and collapsed from scandal. And Liberals accused the Republican Trump of being a dictator, but it is far Left Liberal King Justin Trudeau that's the actual dictator, suppressing the rights of his own people to conduct free and fair public protests. Funny how all that works out, isn't it?

Canada is a beautiful country with great people, we have many readers and listeners from that part of the world. But the government of Canada is ripe for revolution, at the very least, it is time to depose of the current administration by whatever means are available to the Canadian people. King Trudeau must go, and of he pushes the truckers in the Freedom Convoy much further, I don't think he will like where it takes him. Trudeau would do well to remember what happened to the French King Louis XVI, and take steps to not see history repeat itself.
Trudeau tells Canada Police to Send Names of Trucker Protesters to Financial Institutions
FROM BREITBART NEWS: 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.”
Trudeau, who has called the protests against a Covid mandate for truckers and other restrictions an “illegal occupation”, reportedly resorted to the emergency powers following a second weekend of protests.
Bloomberg outlined exactly how the banks will cooperate with the government:
The emergency orders require virtually every participant in the Canadian financial system — banks, investment firms, credit unions, loan companies, securities dealers, fundraising platforms and payment and clearing services — to determine whether they possess or control property of a person who’s attending an illegal protest or providing supplies to demonstrators.
If they find such a person in their customer list, they must freeze their accounts and report it to the RCMP or Canada’s intelligence service, the regulations say. Any suspicious transactions must also be reported to the country’s anti-money-laundering agency, known as Fintrac.
Freeland quickly made plain this step is just the first in a broad range of financial disincentives it will hit protesters with:
Trudeau formally launched parliamentary debate on his use of emergency powers Thursday, pleading the situation “could not be dealt with under any other law in Canada.”
He said the blockades are “a threat to our economy and relationship with trading partners. They’re threats to supply chains and the availability of essential goods like food and medicine. They’re a threat to public safety.” READ MORE
