Canadian Truck Convoy/Rebellion

Banks are moving to freeze accounts linked to convoy protests. Here’s what you need to know

Using powers granted under the Emergencies Act, the federal government has directed banks and other financial institutions to stop doing business with people associated with the anti-vaccine mandate convoy occupying the nation’s capital.

According to the regulations published late Tuesday, financial institutions are required to monitor and halt all transactions that funnel money to demonstrators — a measure designed to cut off funding to a well-financed protest…

Attacking people who are feed up with the mandates, and want to return to a normal world, this is Trudeau.

The government’s new directive, called the “emergency economic measures order,” goes beyond asking banks to simply stop transferring funds to protest organizers. The government wants banks to stop doing business with some people altogether.

The order says that banks and other financial entities (like credit unions, co-ops, loan companies, trusts and cryptocurrency platforms) must stop “providing any financial or related services” to people associated with the protests — a move that will result in frozen accounts, stranded money and cancelled credit cards.

You will be un-personed.

The government is also ordering insurance companies to suspend policies on vehicles that are part of an unlawful “public assembly.”

These financial institutions can’t handle cash, issue a loan, extend a mortgage or more generally facilitate “any transaction” of a “designated person” while the Emergencies Act is in place.

Any transaction?  So the government will be forcing people to miss payments, be it your gas/electricity, be it you car/home loan.

You have a retirement plan?  A pension?  Not any more!

They want the banks to declare a default, and they can then foreclose on your property.

All because the freedom convoy is not obeying the left’s agenda.

The regulations define a “designated person” who can be cut off from financial services as someone who is “directly or indirectly” participating in a “public assembly that may reasonably be expected to lead to a breach of the peace,” or a person engaging in “serious interference with trade” or “critical infrastructure.”

So if you contributed in any way, from money to food to holding flags as the convoy went past, etc, you are an ENEMY of the left, and as such they want to PUNISH you for wrong-think.

The Emergencies Act and its associated regulations are in effect for only 30 days; that period could be shorter if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet revoke it or if Parliament scuttles it after a vote. But a senior government official said there could be long-term implications.

“For the most part, financial institutions can decide who they do business with and they may decide to cease offering financial services,” the official said.

In english that means if you are for freedom, and decided to be part of the freedom movement, the totalitarian left will show how oppressive they can be.

Over the longer term, (Jessica Davis, president of Insight Threat Intelligence and a former CSIS strategic analyst) said, it may be hard for some of the truckers participating to ever find work again because they could lack the necessary insurance to operate a big rig.

“Paying bills, paying rent and any kind of day-to-day financial transaction can be stopped for people who are part of the protest movement,” she said.

There may also be some “unintended consequences” from frozen accounts, such as suspended alimony and child support payments, Davis said. “It’s going to be very difficult for them.”

So they can go after them for failure to pay, and throw them into JAIL for it too.  How nice.

Are there any legal implications for the banks?
Banks have been granted immunity against legal action in the event of disputes over whether someone should have been denied financial services.

“No proceedings under the Emergencies Act and no civil proceedings lie against an entity for complying with this Order,” the regulations read.

So if they made a mistake, to bad, so said, FUCK OFF the money/property is now legally OURS.

While these measures might help to bust up a protest that has severely disrupted the nation’s capital, Davis said they could also further “radicalize” a group that is already concerned about government overreach.

“This will further entrench their ideas and their mindset,” she said.

It will only prove of government over reach, and its dictatorship regime in the minds of those righting for our rights and freedoms in a democratic nation.

All Trudeau had to do was to announce the stages of a removal of these federal mandates, with milestones needed to reach each on.

But NO!  The egomaniac PM does not want to remove these mandates.

And ambiguity still remains on why the government took the bold step of invoking the Emergencies Act, considering most of the blockades were cleared by police before any national public emergency was declared.

Vindictive bastard who want to get revenge on those whom have shown the complete lack of leadership skills this blackfaced/failed drama teacher is.

Leaked donor records from Sunday’s cyberattack on crowdfunding website GiveSendGo showed most of the $8 million raised at that point had come from Canadians.

This libtard is going after Canadians, their jobs/livelyhoods, savings and homes.

@Legatus_Legionis, watching that video about Stella Luna Gelato and hearing about all the support, the many sticky notes and baloons that were covering her shop vs the few insults and a bedsheet (and no bricks thrown at windows) just proves that sane and compassionate people are actually the majority, while those few lunatics are nothing but cowards

And now i can’t wait for my local gelato shop to open back up for the summer 😋🍦 Buon Appetito!

@Legatus_Legionis, those aren’t cops, those are criminals
