Will Protestors in Canada get debanked again?

5427 sats \ 23 comments \ @ionisle 21 Sep 2023 bitcoin

There are protests happening in Canada again. The last time there were protests a large number of the protest leaders were debanked. Do you think folks will be debanked again?? Bitcoin really helped last time with the gofundme scandal happening. Just a reminder that bankers are not your friends and to be your own bank!

For anyone reading -- the current protests are (imo) conveniently timed to coincide with coming election and "woke/anti-woke" rhetoric. They have to do with transgender rights and parental rights re: transgender materials in schools. I know people have strong opinions on either side, but IMO it's just a repeat of the 2008 racial/sexual agitation in USA that distracted people from wrongdoing of banks and collapse of the general financial system.

Canada by all rights should be having mass protests directed at the ENTIRE political class, as well as the calamitous immigration and monetary policy. Instead we are fighting over who is transgender etc., the Conservatives (basically part of our own uniparty) are focusing on calling the current Prime Minster "woke" as though that will fix any of the other structural stuff.

Dark times ahead in Canada.

Protesting is meaningless and dumb Instead of protesting people should just rebut any "authority". But yeah, people are quite dumb nowadays, they think that protesting in streets will do something. It don't.

I agree, protesting is useless, those people still recognizing the authority of Chanada. And... no worries, you did not sign any contract, but your natural parents did it for you!

Interesting timing. There was scandal about this in Latvia as well recently, in parallel of forming new government. No big street protests though, it was rejected just from the noise in social media, etc.

So true. Culture wars have really got everyone in a tizzy and I have no doubt that that's just the way the elites like it.

Canada essentially devalued their currency already. We are heading towards a humanitarian crisis over living conditions and labour market exploitation.

I think it's only a matter of time before they enact "bail-ins" and other capital controls that will make cracking down on protestors' bank accounts seem more "normal".

Some moved to Costa Rica.

Yeah. El Salvador and Costa Rica should merge and be a big Bitcoin country.

Throw Nicaragua in the mix so that the country is contiguous

Not sure about their relationships. Nicaragua supported Honduras against El Salvador in football war.

If they did it once, I don't see why they wouldn't do it again, I don't see why governments will hold back when they are threatened, banks will always side with governments and never respect private property plus there are plenty of useful idiots who are just "doing their job" that will follow so they can get their fiat pay cheque

If they do, they should switch to Bitcoin quickly as Lightning is the best use-case in such scenario

It would be pretty surprising if they weren't.

It would not surprise me.
