I'm confused, I don't think you are saying that Canadians are punished if they do business with blacklisted bitcoin addresses but it's perfectly fine for them to do business with monero addresses. Is that what you are saying?

If you tell people to "just convert to monero" they will probably do it on an exchange and dox themselves to it. They will probably hold their money on the exchange (unless you give them further instruction) and any transactions they make to other users will be similarly doxed. Bam, their account gets frozen.

If you give them the further instruction "move your money to your own wallet" they will probably use a light wallet and dox their ip address to the node operator whose node allows that wallet to see what's happening on the blockchain. That node operator is subject to sudden arrest or investigation by the government, and he can even be forced to stop servicing a particular user's wallet. Normie gets screwed again.

If you give the normie even further instructions to not only move his funds to his own wallet but also run his own node, you are giving him about just as many instructions as a bitcoiner would give except we would also say "use a privacy wallet such as joinmarket or samourai or wasabi or any lightning wallet."

It is very difficult for an attacker to identify the sender or the amount sent. If the recipient is running a tor node (which the majority are) it is also very difficult to connect the recipient to a real world identity.
