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.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is obsessed with the money donated through crowdfunding sources to the truckers protesting cross-border vaccine mandates.
Trudeau has repeatedly expressed his concern about foreign money — mostly from the U.S. — supporting the trucker convoy. In just a few weeks, first through GoFundMe and then through GiveSendGo, supporters pitched in more than $10 million and then $8.4 million to the anti-vaccine mandate protest.
New fencing has been erected on the Parliament Hill side of Wellington Street, right next to where ‘Freedom Convoy’ demonstrators have been camped out for three weeks.
It’s the latest sign that police action to break up the downtown Ottawa occupation could be imminent. On Wednesday, police handed out notices to demonstrators warning them to leave the area or face arrest.
Groups of Ottawa police officers could be seen arriving downtown Thursday morning in the vicinity of the protest red zone.
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar has come out defending an Ottawa shop owner who made a donation to the Freedom Convoy in Canada.
Omar said journalists should not be reporting and publicizing the names of people who made ‘insignificant’ donations.
Omar tweeted in response to a newspaper editor from the Ottawa Citizen who had shared a report about Stella Luna Gelato Cafe in Ottawa, which was forced to close down after receiving continual threats.
… A letter sent to banks names fewer than 20 people the national police service has identified as being involved in illegal acts related to the demonstrations, according to a source who has reviewed the document. It describes the RCMP’s “first disclosure of information” to financial institutions and includes pictures and summaries with details about the people, some of whom are identified as main organizers of the protests.
The Globe and Mail is not identifying the source because they are not authorized to discuss correspondence with the RCMP.
A separate letter to several cryptocurrency exchanges obtained by The Globe notes that the RCMP and the Ontario Provincial Police are investigating cryptocurrency donations in relation to illegal acts falling under the scope of the Emergencies Act.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the ongoing convoy protests a “threat” to Canadian democracy in a letter justifying emergency powers to the country’s premiers.
The letter, released by the federal government late Wednesday night, said fatigue and frustration with COVID-19 public health measures and vaccine mandates are “no longer the motivation of many of the (protest) participants and organizers.”
Traditional Liberalism is a political philosophy based on individual rights, consent of the people, and equality before the law. Liberal values support individual rights, democracy, secularism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and a market economy.
Once the Government makes a formal declaration of a public order emergency, the declaration is effective for up to 30 days. However, the Houses of Parliament must confirm this declaration, and it has the power to revoke it at any time, as does the Government.
To save Canadian democracy, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau must first destroy it.
Since the start of the pandemic, Trudeau has acted like COVID entitled him to unlimited power in the name of public safety — sort of like Gov. Andrew Cuomo on amphetamines. Now he claims he is entitled to use an iron fist to crush the trucker protest movement against a vaccine mandate.
Protesters are now barred from taking children to illegal assemblies, officials warn
Government officials are warning parents who bring children to illegal assemblies that they could face massive fines or jail time under new federal measures aimed at stopping the ongoing occupation of downtown Ottawa.
At the start of the week, the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time since its passage in 1988, giving it new powers.
Officials who spoke to reporters Wednesday morning on background said they couldn’t say when life will return to normal in Ottawa.
There is no downplaying the magnitude of the decision made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to invoke the Emergencies Act.
That includes transactions exceeding $10,000,and those suspected to be tied to money laundering or terrorist activity.
But the details of how the new rules will apply to cryptocurrencies weren’t available Tuesday evening, a day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the government would invoke the Emergencies Act to shut down protests against COVID-19 mandates that have blocked streets in downtown Ottawa and border crossings to the U.S.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, amid collapsing domestic approval ratings, is witnessing full-scale abandonment in the provinces, which is taking place as he moves to implement martial law on Freedom Convoy protesters who simply want their basic human rights respected.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino sought to assure Ottawa residents Tuesday that the chaos in their city will soon end as local law enforcement, bolstered by the RCMP, works around the clock to restore order.
Empowered by the federal government’s move to invoke the Emergencies Act, police will soon establish “no-go” zones in the city’s downtown core to control unruly crowds associated with the anti-vaccine mandate convoy protest, the minister said. People who defy orders to leave, he added, will face fines or jail time, or both.
If Canada had a loyal opposition they would stand with the Truckers.
But we get what we deserve and what we have is a corrupt permanent political class and a scared one at that.
Parliament is overrun by lifestyle politicians aided by an ever expanding predatory “public service” whose goal is our financial and spiritual impoverishment.
Their bought media and minions are gleefully ratting out our fellow citizens for the crime of peaceably protesting.
They are threatening protesters with financial ruin, even jail.
So like Trudeauscu’s beloved Cuba and Uncle Fidel’s Block-Watchers.
We are not far at all from criminalizing dissent as a psychiatric disorder.
And don’t we all look forward to Junior’s internet censorship legislation.
No one in good conscience can ever vote for a mainstream party again.
We are a shithole nation.
Because we let them.
Speaking with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Ezra Levant, the founder of Rebel News, detailed how outlandish the statements from Trudeau were. He stated, “There is no revolution in the streets of Canada. You see for yourself, it’s a festival environment. There’s no violence. It’s happy — moms and dads and kids. Trudeau is claiming they’re dangerous, claiming they’re terrorists so he can seize bank accounts. The most scary thing announced today by the finance minister, who was on the World Economic Forum board, is that banks will be directed to seize your accounts without due process and you can’t even sue them. They’re indemnified. He is going after his political opponents to seize their resources Venezuela style.”
