#Canada uses the banking system to try to subdue #protest:
From Bloomberg:
"banks, investment firms [...etc..] must determine whether they’re in 'possession or control of property' of a person who’s attending an illegal protest or providing supplies to demonstrators,"
"If they find such a person in their customer list, they must freeze their accounts and report it to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or Canada’s intelligence service"
"Any suspicious transactions must also be reported to the country’s anti-money-laundering agency, known as Fintrac."
Incomprehensible levels of financial surveillance and work for auditors there.
Trudeau says it's "reasonable and proportionate to the threats the country faces"
Crikey.
Canada must be able to fall apart completely because of this mighty unstopable enemy if this is reasonable and proportionate.
