The Trudeau government will bring legislation to make these mechanisms of financial surveillance permanent so that individuals no longer have the right to privacy in banking, transactions, or currency.
Financial penalties are being imposed on people who engaged in protests in Canada. Per Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland, those protestors who brought their big rigs to Ottawa, or who organized the protest against vaccine mandates, will be subject to penalties such as having their bank accounts frozen.
Freeland said that "...all crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use must register with Fintrac, and they must report large and suspicious transactions to Fintrac." This, she said, is a way to "mitigate the risk" of "illicit funds" and "increase the quality and quantity of intelligence received by Fintrac and make more information available to support investigations by law enforcement." Further, the Trudeau government will bring legislation to make these mechanisms of financial surveillance permanent so that individuals no longer have the right to privacy in banking, transactions, or currency.
This is being done prior to charges being laid, arrests, a trial, conviction, or a sentence. Financial punishment is being meted out without any regard for due process. The lesson for Canadians is that if they oppose vaccine mandates they will be punished extrajudicially.
