| | + | Freeland announced an expansion of “terrorist financing” rules that would allow banks to freeze assets with no oversight. The new measures also apply to crowdfunding outlets and payment processing providers. “We are broadening the scope of Canada’s anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules so that they cover crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use,” Freeland said. The expanded rules also apply to digital assets, such as cryptocurrency. In enacting the changes, Freeland said that what she claimed were "illegal" blockades "...have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms and some of the payment service providers they use are not fully captured under the proceeds of crime and terrorist financing act." All crowdfunding platforms and service providers were required to register with the Canadian government’s financial intelligence unit, FINTRAC, and report “large and suspicious transactions.”<ref>https://nationalfile.com/canada-expand-scope-terrorist-financing-rules-will-allow-banks-freeze-assets-no-oversight/</ref> The seizures were retroactive, meaning accounts could be frozen for actions taken prior to martial law being imposed. |

Banks and financial services providers will also be allowed by Freeland to freeze or suspend accounts without a court order, intended by her to specifically target the Freedom Convoy and its supporters while hypocritically ignoring crowdfunding campaigns by violent leftist groups such as Antifa. “In doing so, they will be protected against civil liability for actions taken in good faith,” the Deputy PM continued - while she ignored that by acting at Freeland's behest in illegally targeting the Freedom Convoy and other peaceful and legal protests, the banks would be acting in ''bad'' faith and thus would ''not'' be protected against civil liability. |

| | + | Canadian Justice Minister David Lametti told CTV News that citizens identified as supporting [[President Donald Trump]] are subject to “de-banking” as part of the Canadian government’s official target identification process. During the segment, Lametti hedged and dodged questioning about what terms and conditions the Canadian government is using to instruct the RCMP and financial institutions. However, after equating the Trudeau order to the same principles around terrorism, the ‘Justice Minister’ finally said: |
