.. now can someone explain to me why they are covering the tow truck drivers with what appears to be a halloween mask.. is that michael meyers? lol.. and being escorted by police? *smh* .. is this some [probably not new] form of psychological warfare or something? Roll Eyes



The reason why the tow truck drivers and "police"(most likely the UN peacekeepers under the guise of being said Canadian Police) are masking themselves is so they are not doxxed by protestors to find out their real origins so then they themselves are protested against or questioned for their transgressions against the Freedom Convoy. The tow truck drivers are afraid of being doxxed and then their businesses are boycotted or blockaded. The "police" are afraid of being doxxed because many of them are probably imported by the UN or they're just straight leftists looking for their power cut in the Trudeau dictatorship. I think the black police chief forget his name was somehow part of the UN. Don't look at the Trudeau picture alone look elsewhere and to the NGOs and you will find the real problem.

Canada has replaced/placed enough of their population that they can get away with such control the “Canadians” you speak of would be against..

The USA too..
Our population would and does vote our freedoms away constantly, but it’s more difficult due to our constitution..

I agree to some extent with the US, but there's a large portion of the population that doesn't vote, and a large amount of the ones that do vote, IMO, end up uneducated (or maybe propagandized is a better way to put it) at the polls when they do vote, and most don't (or can't, time/life/work) follow the full story after they vote.. it's a sad cycle, but I do believe the majority of Americans still value their freedom's (and understand what the actually means), we're a tolerant people though. I'm hopeful a lot more will begin to see where these tweaks to our freedoms are heading, and we will come together to fix it. Maybe the optimist in me, but *shrug*, I keep hope alive! Smiley

The Emergencies Act was set to take aim at protester finances. Speaking alongside Trudeau, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said banks can immediately freeze or suspend bank accounts tied to the truckers without a court order and without fear of civil liability.

Isn't that quite something -- Protestors peacefully displaying their frustration on government overreach through nonsensical and anti-scientific mandates, and the solution Trudeau comes up with is to delegate himself even more power by freezing bank accounts associated with legal protests.

Keep in mind, I have yet to see any evidence that these funds are being associated with illegal activity. Canadian PM is preemptively withholding legally obtained funds for the sole reason he disagrees with the protestors.
I think this is going to lead to the fall of the Castro Trudeau Canadian government. This is a response that dictators give to protests. Hopefully Canada's legal system is sufficiently strong such that banks that comply will be held liable if they freeze bank accounts, and this law will not be allowed to stand.
I didn’t see anyone trying to block the funding of those BLM protests while they burned block the the wake of their “firey but mostly peaceful protest”...

But oh no no..
When the right protests.. Jan 6th, Charlottesville, these truckers, all of a sudden we are terrorists..
[/quote]BLM was quite literally terrorizing Americans in order to try to get their way. These truckers are peacefully protesting, making sound logical arguments, and are being labeled terrorists by the authoritarian left.

~I can't think of any other (sane) reason to explain why Western governments seem to worry more about good people protesting than bad people rioting.
Correct. Geez LoyceV.. why don't you just come in and state the obvious? At least, I'd hope it is obvious, but maybe not. Undecided

Like in the signature, Brainwashed. Wink Tom MacDonald touches on it much better than I can. lol
"The government wants everybody fighting with their neighbors, 'cause they know that if we get along, we'll probably go against 'em"

Although, I see it more of being insane because most outcomes I've brainstormed seem to end in some form of civil unrest/war...and the government & media would gladly fuel it, the people do need to come together... this seems to be what these Canadian protestors are trying to do.

Based on eddie13's examples, I guess I hadn't realized it had gotten to this point in Canada. The Canada I've always known of resembles the peaceful freedom loving people in these protests... it can't be good for that Trudeau guy to be bullying a group of people that [IMO] most people around the world would perceive most Canadians to be.

It feels like we've all let our governments get well out of our control, and at the same time, somehow embedded deep into our personal lives. I could rant about the US, but I don't want to get too off-topic. Lips sealed

As for BTC, it can be useful if you keep control of, at least the majority, of your coins (not leaving them on an exchange), and then have backup methods of transacting when your fav. KYC exchanges get the ol' "legal order" to do something against you. This wouldn't be as necessary if governments reduced their desire for power & control, or at best, didn't use it against their own people... but they can.. another example people should learn from.

Your country may be your worst enemy
I've always thought of BTC as a way to protect your assets against the evil state, this is the real test. Hadn't expected this to come in Canada, though.

I hope those who had their BTC addresses listed will be smart enough to avoid getting busted. I'm sure they'll find help on the other side of the border. I'd be willing to help them, but I'm in Europe.

This just shows the future belongs to P2P decentralized exchanges, with cash-in-person transactions. Also, you've read it countless times, but it needs to be told again and again: keeping your coins at an exchange is not safe.

I didn't follow Canada's politics before this freedom convoy, and I'm surprised to see many similarities to 3rd world socialist countries lead by dictator. I thought Canada is a Western country that upholds liberty and capitalism values. It's shocking that the government treated this protest like a terrorist group, yep it's disgusting to think that they can seize your property. And the doxing thing also blows my mind.

Politicians don't fear violent or even rioting "protests", as they won't lose their power over it when a small part of the population does it. If anything, it divides the people.
They fear the moment when law abiding citizens have had enough. That could actually unite the people, which means politicians can lose their power.

Really?

I don't keep up as much with Canadian politicians but, ya, I've always seen Canada as a more peaceful place, so seeing this type of aggression is a little surprising to me, for Canada, but maybe I'm off base... I don't live there, just an outsiders perspective. Either way it's sad to see.

Canada doesn’t even have freedom of speech. You will be jailed there for stating “MTF trans are not real women”, or “Islam is not compatible with democracy”.. “hate speech” laws, terrible gun laws, terrible Covid mandates..

Their usually peaceful, but tyrannical, and increasingly so..
I believe them becoming less and less peaceful will continue.. And for good reason..

BLM "peaceful protesters" get to be bailed out by Vice President Kamala Harris herself.

https://www.yahoo.com/video/alleged-domestic-abuser-released-harris-170800337.html

Perhaps the most impacting legacy of Saint Floyd dying from cardiopulmonary arrest after ingesting a bit too much fentanyl and meth for the evening is BLM rioters being bailed out by a future Vice President, under the guise of social equality or some such nonsense. A freedom convey against tyrannical mandates, that have thus far remained peaceful, are written off as the fringe radical. The demagoguery of BLM affiliated political candidates gets the praise of the media, of course. Peaceful protestors on the other hand get their bank accounts frozen.

I am not so supportive of individuals blocking public roadways, but only under the new norm of protesting, relative to BLM, I'd take that over burning down apartment buildings over a career criminal.

Canadian conservatives have it tough, but so do many others in the new era of wokeism.

100% agree, I saw buildings being destroyed, people attacking police, etc. in [almost] an organized fashion... and hardly anything being done. Peaceful protest from truckers and Canadian citizens who don't appear to know the first thing about a 'riot', singing 'oh canada' and shouting 'freedom', and they're met with snipers, riot gear, drones, insurance/bank accounts being frozen, etc.. can't believe I'm seeing this happen in Canada, of all places.

Just wish I had a mind reading device to see what is going on in the minds of the police force on the ground.. sure, they're human, but herd mentality is a real thing, the human psyche is not to be underestimated. Entire populations have been driven to do unimaginable things at the words of someone they perceive as a leader, seeing a police force under the same control wouldn't be far fetched IMO.

The protestors have all sat down kneeling now as police are pushing forward.. interesting strategy. wtf happens now?

Did you even hear about the 2 or 3 now car attacks that happened against the trucker protests?
I doubt it..


This world of fucked guys..
These protests can only remain “peaceful” for so long while being terribly demonized and like this..

I’m not sure they know what sort of hornets nest they are poking..

They really are tightening the noose huh? This is together with them freezing the bank accounts. AND also getting different crowdfunding platforms to basically steal the money donated to the truckers. Disgusting.

The Ontario Provincial Police and Royal Canadian Mounted Police ordered
I'd expect such an order to come from a judge, not from the police. Is this really how law enforcement works in Canada?

Quote
all regulated financial firms to cease facilitating any transactions from 34 crypto wallets tied to funding trucker-led protests in the country.
Do you know if they used exchange addresses to receive donations? In that case no crypto can stop authorities from freezing funds. But if they used their own real wallet, it's only a temporary inconvenience until the rest of the world also starts accepting crypto directly.

Finally, after waiting 11 years.  No complaints on financial performance of Bitcoin up to this point mind you.  I just always saw real value (relative valuation and otherwise) in crypto as being in this blockade-busting space.  I got into Bitcoin as a result of being pissed off at Visa for the financial blockade of Wikileaks after all.  I mis-estimated that we'd have had to wait 11 years for such a dumb-fuck as Trudeau-Castro to make the mistake.

Anyway, 'Let the games begin.'   This should spur some development along lines which have been sorely neglected because, at the end of the day, most Bitcoiners are pretty much 'normies'.  More and more as time goes by it seems, but this should change things.
