Canada has moved to make the asset freezing part of its Emergencies
Act, which was used to target supporters of the Freedom Convoy
protests, a permanent fixture.

Wow, who saw that one coming?

In order to stop what the Trudeau regime referred to as “illegal
blockades,” the government threatened to freeze the bank accounts of
demonstrators and anyone who donated money to them.

Under the Emergencies Act, bank are required to freeze accounts
without a court order, while all crowdfunding platforms and payment
providers are mandated to provide information to FINTRAC (Financial
Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada).

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced that many of the
measures imposed ‘temporarily’ to deal with the protesters (after they
had been suitably demonized as violent extremists) will now become
permanent.

“We used all the tools that we had prior to the invocation of the
Emergencies Act and we determined we needed some additional tools,”
Freeland announced

“Some of those tools we will be putting forward measures to put those
tools permanently in place. The authorities of FINTRAC, I believe, do
need to be expanded to cover crowdsourcing platforms and payment
platforms,” she added.

Ronald Reagan has been proven right again.

“Nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program.”

Meanwhile, as we previously highlighted, such measures are likely to
exclude protected classes (basically anyone who isn’t a native
Canadian or white), with groups such as immigrants and refugees
enjoying an exemption.
