1\ BREAKING: They're going to freeze accounts for blockaders. I had my credit card frozen twice during the Tyendinaga blockade, for making purchases related to the blockade. I strongly suspect this was already a capability for some agencies, which has now been codified in law.
2\ Key details of the announcement: Banks are now required to report to RCMP and CSIS, if they think a client is involved in the blockades. They're also empowered to freeze/suspend accounts without court order. Wild times. Kind of a banker's coup.
3\ Federal agencies are empowered to engage in financial information sharing. Freeland is promising vehicle seizures, insurance cancellation. Penalties for business owners. New regulations of Crowdfunding. This is absolutely wild.
4\ Listening to Freeland detail a host of new financial measures that I'm already calling the "#StValentinesDayMassacre" for wealthy right wing/white insurrectionists. I can almost hear the convoy supporters getting ready to unleash hell from here. We are on a wild precipice.
5\ Look I don't want to get grim folks, but this sounds like the Confederacy we're talking about here. Attorney General stresses 'This is temporary'. Based on everything I'm hearing, Canada is in a state of civil war.
