Prime Minister Justin Trudeau granted his government emergency powers on Monday to crush the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa and across Canada.
By invoking the Canada Emergencies Act for the first time ever, Trudeau gave his government carte blanche to use every available method possible to stop the “terrorist” Freedom Convoy, including calling upon banks to freeze and seize their finances without a court order.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland announced that these new emergency powers will include expanding “Terrorist Financing” rules to target crowdfunding efforts that have been supporting the Freedom Convoy.
“First we are broadening the scope of Canada’s anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules so they include crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use,” Freeland said during Trudeau’s presser.
Oh my fucking goodness: Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister says that, as part of the Emergencies Act, they are broadening Canada’s “Terrorist Financing” rules so that they cover crowdfunding platforms and cryptocurrencies to the Canadian Freedom Convoy pic.twitter.com/35bXSu4k6j

“These changes cover all forms of transactions, including digital assets such as cryptocurrencies,” she continued. “The illegal blockades have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms and some of the payment service providers they use are not fully captured under the proceeds of the Crime and Terrorist Financing Act.”
“As of today, a bank or other financial service provider will be able to immediately freeze or suspend an account without a court order. In doing so, they will be protected against civil liability for actions taken in good faith,” she added.
“Federal government institutions will have a new broad authority to share relevant information with banks and other financial service providers to ensure we can all work together to put a stop to the funding of these illegal blockades. This is about following the money. This is about stopping the financing of these illegal blockades.”
“We are today serving notice: if your truck is being used in these illegal blockades, your corporate accounts will be frozen. The insurance on your vehicle will be suspended,” she warned.
In other words, the Canadian government now considers donating to a civil rights movement a form of terrorism.
Trudeau’s government has been working tirelessly to shut down the Convoy’s funding and resources since the anti-mandate movement began last month, pressuring GoFundMe to suspend the Convoy’s funds and even seizing fuel.
Since then, alternative crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo has raised over $8 million for the protesters, making it a target of malicious hackers who doxxed the donors of the Freedom Convoy.
Trudeau’s unconstitutional decree was widely criticized on social media, with some calling for additional support for the Freedom Convoy in the face of this unprecedented tyranny.
Trudeau knows there is no violence amongst the truckers. The Ambassador Bridge was cleared easily and peacefully. It’s really just peaceful protests now.
The real move today is not policing. It’s being able to seize opposition/conservative bank accounts — without a court order.

“They’re honking and putting up Minions bounce houses!!!! Terrorists!!! Freeze their accounts!!!”

Don’t worry, @JustinTrudeau isn’t “calling in the military”. He is just authorizing banks to unilaterally freeze your accounts on the basis of suspicion alone, no court order required, with legal immunity. I hope everyone realizes how much more dangerous this is than the military

Trudeau declared War against his own Citizens on Valentine’s Day.

You can’t protest the government and have a bank account.
This is literally what they do in Venezuela and Cuba.

Trudeau will go down in history as a tyrant
This is his legacy

Every Canadian in the country should now rally around the Truckers— food shelter, whatever you can bring. Justin Trudeau has just declared himself the dictator of Canada and his administration is labeling peaceful citizens, “terrorists” to justify what comes next. https://t.co/R5v3vzWeHl

If they can simply turn off the money like this, it’s not really money anymore. It’s gold foil stars from the teacher, it’s chocolate kisses. https://t.co/OVXeKzqLQ6

Doesn’t screwing with banking regulations by emergency order make Canada a less stable tech and capital investment climate?

#CanadaHasFallen we need to pay attention to this – basically what the Deputy PM is saying is that Canadians have no right to peaceful protest and nothing is actually in their control – not their bodies, not their property, not their finances . basically Freedom is an illusion https://t.co/teusaIyELO

Trudeau’s authoritarianism likely wouldn’t have gotten this far if Canada had a Second Amendment.
What’s happening in Canada is what happens to “freedom” without a Second Amendment #2A

Canada has fallen. Prepare accordingly.
