Canada’s Current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Emergencies Act powers can now be revoked: Meanwhile, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland warned some BANK ACCOUNTS will remain FROZEN – February 23, 2022,
Justin Trudeau officially turned Canada into the laughing stock of the world invoking the “Emergency Act”. What makes him such an embarrassment is how peaceful the protests were. The Emergencies act centered around the Tow Truck drivers, who the government could not control. You see the real problem Trudeau had wasn’t arresting people, the problem was the embarrassment of what could have happened if he arrested the peaceful protestors.
Let’s say Trudeau arrested the protestors for unlawful assembly, all well and good, but if he couldn’t tow the trucks, that would show how powerless his government was. When you understand that, you understand the message Finance Minister Chrystia was trying to send by freezing bank accounts. Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government was EMBARRASSED and OUTCLASSED by blue-collar workers.
The Freedom Convoy went international and Trudeau would have been a laughing stock if he couldn’t tow the Trucks in Ottawa after arresting the mostly peaceful protestors, worse was Trudeau’s handling of the Freedom Convoy from the start, labeling them as racists, instead of being diplomatic. Now politically had Trudeau not been able to tow the trucks this would have been an embarrassment, instead, Trudeau took the worse route possible FREEZING bank accounts.
The power to freeze accounts will end once the act is officially revoked.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland warned some accounts will remain frozen under the regular authority of the courts, law enforcement, and financial institutions.
There’s no cure for Trudeau freezing bank accounts, this is a memory that will stay in Canada forever and might lead to bank runs or Canadians opting not to hoard to Canadian dollars they need in Banks. Invoking the Emergency Act is one thing, freezing bank accounts is something else. I suspect Trudeau’s people will make up some reason as to why they froze bank accounts, but that pandora’s box has already been opened, and this event will stay with Canadians forever. Canadians have now been officially warned that the Government can steal their money at any time.
Below are the powers the Emergency Act gave Trudeau, the one that really stands out to most of us is requiring banks to freeze accounts which as of today’s date still remains in force as Trudeau makes up a reason to justify destroying trust in digital assets that are in the possession of Canadian banks. Prior to Trudeau doing this the assumption by all Canadians is that the Prime Minister had to get a COURT ORDER to freeze PRIVATE bank accounts. Life in Canada has officially changed!
Regulations under the Emergencies Act granted powers to turn tow trucks into essential services,
require banks to freeze accounts of people participating directly or indirectly in the protest and
designate no-go zones for public gatherings, including Parliament Hill,
border crossings and other areas deemed to be critical infrastructure.
