You know, for the 1st time while watching this clip I felt a little sympathy for Trudeau (and Gavin Newsom). It must be exhausting spending every minute of your waking life trying to hide the fact that you are really, really dumb.

I have long called Trudeau "Newsom of the North". I wish we could get rid of Newsom, but he still has emergency powers 2 years later, and the legislators don't seem too keen on removing them. Perhaps the mid-term elections going badly for democrats will change their mind. I have hope after the San Francisco school board recall with 75%+ results, but we now have mail-in ballots and plenty of opportunities for fraud with a long lead-time for counting ballots.

The truckers and friends did a such great job here, really. Pressured provinces to roll back mandates and protocols while keeping everything peaceful, scared Trudeau into an overreach that even woke up some diehard leftists and unified the opposition, and then breezed on cue. This left Trudeau with two lousy choices: either continuing his Emergency Act crusade, perhaps fermenting an actual revolution as he would be unequivocally looking (more) like a dictator, or, as he did, sheepishly pulling it back almost as quickly as he declared it, basically negating any credible attempt to declare victory and highlighting the absurdity of the action in the first place. It’s really quite inspiring and shows how we CAN overcome these people by being smart. They’re not as clever as they think they are and arrogant to a fault. And we all know their parlor tricks at this point… as we see them desperately trying to wag that old dog with the Ukraine.

End of empires. To quote a famous philosopher, “Sad!”

“Of course we’ll be available for provincial authorities if and when needed”. Did I get that quote correctly? Sounded like a threat to protesters all across Canada to me.

Chrystia Freeland holds a high position in the WEF: "The Honourable Chrystia Freeland is Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. ... As Foreign Minister, she led and successfully concluded the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. In November, 2019, Ms. Freeland was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs. In this capacity, she led Canada’s united response to the COVID-19 pandemic. She was appointed Minister of Finance in August, 2020. ... In 2020, she was awarded Freedom House’s Mark Palmer Prize, in recognition of her years of work in championing democracy and human rights. She is a member of the Forum's Board of Trustees" https://www.weforum.org/people/chrystia-freeland

When they pulled that business with freezing assets, it kicked off a massive run on banks - and not just the retail end, either, big investments got pulled out of Canada: "In the bigger picture, the Canadian banking and financial system was hit hard by the deployment of the Emergency Act which highlighted the ability of the government to arbitrarily freeze and seize money, assets and financial investment capital without any due process. There are also strong rumors in the financial sector, that in addition to Canadians removing money from the banking system, previous investment funds from Hong Kong had been moved – and, making matters even worse, digital currency exchanges were no longer offering secure services in Canada." https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/02/23/facing-financial-peril-and-a-pending-senate-rebuke-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-revokes-emergency-war-measures-act/

By this action, Trudeau's government created what is known as "country risk", which is something you don't want to have if you want foreign investment. I suspect that he and Freeland will have to be gone, gone, gone, and changes to laws made before any of that capital even begins to come back into Canada.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/02/23/boom-trudeau-reversal-motive-surfaces-canadian-banking-association-was-approved-by-world-economic-forum-to-lead-the-digital-id-creation/

The motive for the World Economic Forum and Canadian Bankers Association to immediately reach out to Trudeau and Freeland and tell them to back off their plan is crystal clear. THAT is almost certainly why Freeland appeared so admonished, shocked and incapable of getting her footing yesterday {Go Deep}, and why the Canadian government simultaneously informed Parliament they were unfreezing the bank accounts.

However, this undermined confidence and faith in the banking system cannot be restored quickly. The toothpaste cannot be put back into the tube. The horse has left the barn. This is now a moment for damage control by the Canadian government. That is why Justin Trudeau just dropped the declaration of the Emergency Act.

It all makes sense now. All of it.

Indeed, the government leaders who take their instructions from the multinational corporations in charge of the World Economic Forum, which is to say almost all of them, are so entrenched in their need to use COVID-19 as the pry bar for the Build Back Better agenda, they simply cannot let it go.

Without COVID-19, they can’t keep the vaccination push. Without the vaccination push, they can’t keep the vaccine passport process in place. Without the vaccination passport registration process to track and monitor human behavior, the governing authorities cannot fulfill the mission of a comprehensive digital identity and social credit tracking system. Indeed, everything they seek is contingent upon keeping the premise of COVID-19 alive.

It is not accidental the World Economic Forum is at the epicenter of this

As we previously noted, the architects of the Build Back Better society (WEF) are guiding various governments on ways to create efficient registration and compliance systems, i.e. ways that permit citizens to prove their vaccinated and compliant status. As these discussions are taking place, it is prudent to pause and think very carefully, wisely.

We all know, as we are reading this, under the guise of enhancing our safety, the U.S. Federal Government is in discussions with the medical community, multinational corporations and employers of citizens to create a more efficient process for you to register your vaccine compliance.

We know their conversation under the terminology of a COVID Passport. The current goal is to make a system for us to show and prove our authorized work status, which, as you know, is based on your obedience to a mandated vaccine.

A big bank run spooked him - the day after he announced the asset freeze, big bank runs started - it was in the WSJ last Thursday. "However, unlike the US banks, where they must maintain a liquidity reserve requirement of 10%, Canadian banks have a 0%reserve requirement, thus affording them the ability to create a virtually unlimited amount of money “out of thin air” (see: “Fractional Reserve Banking System“). In the end, when banks create money due to the fractional reserve system, debt is also created. For instance, when you are approved for a mortgage at a bank for $500,000, that artificial money was a digital entry into your bank based on the promise to pay it back with interest. It did not come from their reserves or deposits.

The problem with this system is that it exponentially increases credit–and consequently debt–while living in a finite world with finite resources. Credit has grown so significantly over the real hard cash that you carry in your wallet that our economy is dependent on credit for its necessary expansion. If credit doesn’t expand, the economy comes off its “high” and needs to return to equilibrium and rid itself of all the mal-investments. Sounds like a debt Ponzi scheme? That’s because it is.

The Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation

What about the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) which insures your money at the bank up to $100,000? According to the CDIC’s 2011 Annual Report, the CDIC protects $604 billion CAD in total eligible deposits, and has $2.2 billion CAD in assets to meet insurance claims. This amount represents 0.36% of total eligible deposits." http://www.economicreason.com/economiccrisisexplained/canadian-banking-system-exposed/

Perhaps it was political and not economical?

But worse still, the Senate discovered internal communication within the Trudeau cabinet where they discussed the "political benefits" of deploying the Emergency Act. That's why it was going to fail in the Senate. Justin and Chrystia panicked.

Keep in mind, the Canadian Senate is not elected. They're like the US Supreme Court Justices; they're appointed via a political knifefight based on who is in power when a vacancy opens up.

The silver lining of the Senate being unelected is Trudeau couldn't threaten them with a snap election, so he had no leverage to force them to vote the way he wanted them to.

Senators have confirmed (see below tweet) that Trudeau's cabinet and staffers were working the phones, trying to whip votes, but when it became clear the Senate was unlikely to support the Emergencies Act, Trudeau called a press conference and ended his emergency powers before they could be stripped from him. It's the constitutional equivalent of figuring out your boss plans to fire you on Friday, so you quit on Thursday.

I wouldn't bother with trying to hunt down secret internal communication that may or may not exist, but Canadian media is now trying to memory-hole both the Senate vote AND the House vote, so that they can maintain a nice clean timeline of 1) Trudeau calls in Act, 2) Trudeau deals with protests, 3) Trudeau gives up powers.

People in the US are beginning to understand the implications of bank deplatforming and even Rand Paul and Mike Pompeo have come out and said that it is possible this can be done here. That, coupled with the recent inflation (really way higher than 7.5%/yr), and further increase in oil and gas prices due to Biden's idiocies in Ukraine, and we are looking at the potential combination of inflation, recession, and financial turmoil that has never been seen by most living Americans. If that happens, one could argue the cascade might have begun due to this one act of Justin Trudeau to freeze bank accounts for a policy dispute with peaceful protesters.

It has already been done in the US. It has been being done to Americans living abroad and so called “accidental Americans” for years.

These tools of citizen control are things well known to the central bankers and control agents of finance, but they are never spoken about in polite company – let alone publicized, promoted and openly bragged about.

Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland essentially broke the financial code of Omerta, by highlighting how easy it is for government to seize your bank accounts, credit cards, retirement accounts, insurance, mortgages, loan access and cut you off from money.

Worse yet, the short-sighted Canadian government via Minister Freeland announced their ability to control cryptocurrency exchanges in their country and block access within a financial mechanism that exists almost entirely as an insurance policy and hedge against the exact actions the government was taking.

Yes they have. I think it was called Operation Choke Point during the Obama admin where gun shops were denied access to the financial sector due to pressure from the government. It was spoken about in the open. Boasted about.

FATCA/FBAR and passport revocation of Americans suspected of owing money to the Treasury for whatever reason is another facet of their control through money.

You folks are late to the party.

If you want to see bankers break out in a cold sweat, start a bank run on a *single* medium-sized bank in a metro area. I've got relatives in the banking business, and I was sitting in the office of one of them, waiting to go out to lunch, when news came that there was a run - people were pulling out entire accounts - on a local bank... When I say sweat, I mean pools of sweat on the desk. Everyone knew that that bank had made really bad loans - and some of them were to the guy who owned that bank - and word somehow got out. And it got onto a radio talk show, and that was it. Bank runs can be contagious, and since banks only keep 5% cash reserve on their retail accounts, anything over that has to come from the owners of the bank - and they could potentially be wiped out... We didn't go to lunch that day.

What a gong show! My thoughts while I watched were ok the Senate was gonna vote it down and he wanted to avoid further embarrassment. He realized he was going a little toooooooooo fast with the tyranny train and needed to whoa horsies! More opposition within our democracy (a democracy which HE is threatening at every step!) is becoming apparent. He’s not done, though. This was some kind of primer. And what was that about how they’re not freezing bank accounts anymore but oh yeah some accounts will Remain Frozen?!!! Shady and Vague and Contradictory Much? Oh my gosh the LIES just never stop.
