Did not Trudeau back off the bank account stuff? I read that the policy was rescinded after banks were starting to see account closures. I don't know if the truckers accounts were restored. News is now consumed with more 'important' shiny stuff to divert attention from Biden's other failures. Anybody know?
I keep bringing this up, but not without reason. To get a more complete view of what is already underway, we need to look at both the US FATCA law AND how it is implemented in the real world. While it does not call for account freezing, many non US citizens residing outside the US, improperly termed “accidental Americans”, have been dealing with account closures, accounts being frozen and loans called in for not being able to prove they are in compliance with US tax and reporting requirements. Others who are former US citizens and have been for decades have also experienced these problems. All of this dates back to the Obama administration, so it is not new.

Expect the "no fly"-list to be made open-ended into a "no move"-list, and your governement requiring passport or other physical ID to be carried at all times. Also, expect "smart-phones" to be made mandatory, to be carried at all times. This will probably start by adding smart-phones to a list of goods being part and parcel of basic welfare and basic income/labour perks.
For the children/the Greater Good/Ze Master Race/ God wants it/who the F do you think you are questioning the why of governement, you grotty little pleb? The motto of today's democracy, no matter what nation you live in, is:
"But stealing from and cutting off services to regular Russians doesn’t hurt the government. If anything, it makes Russians angry at us instead of Putin!"
Yes, this concerns me as well, although likely it's not an "instead of" but an "and." The despair and hopelessness that come from that (experiential! It's Russia!) belief that "absolute power corrupts absolutely" is the opposite of the promise of American democracy. How can a citizenry that agrees with the Ukrainians that the WORST possible outcome is to be ruled by Putin be so callous toward the people already suffering that outcome?
If you really want some insight into everything thats happening, watch the movie “Ukraine on Fire”. Besides seeing just how a state dept employee (Victoria Neuland) led to the overthrow of a government, you’ll also see call outs to the color revolutions we saw during 2020. They’re using the same strategies on us. Practice on them, perfect them on us.
The future should end in early January, with the new congress. Or shortly thereafter. Actually, it will probably start fading this summer, as the polls begin confirming a mid-term landslide and the dems try to redeem themselves in the eyes of voters who have had enough. Repubs still might screw it up, but that would take epic incompetence.
Canadians will have to fix their own problems. That seems less likely.
Sorry OT, but I'm steamed about the new Substack iOS app, which will give Apple leverage over content as a growing fraction of customers reads via the app. I expect some Substack authors (maybe you and me) already violate app store Terms of Service.
Hunger is an Iron Heel on that boot. On February 1, 2022, the Russian Federation Council announced that their dependence on foreign potato and sugar beet seeds would be “catastrophic” for food security. Russian farmers also rely on imports of farming equipment and agricultural components. The sanctions imposed on the Russian people will threaten their entire farming industry, putting global food supply chains at risk.

Thanks Simulation. I just wrote a recap of what happened in Ottawa if anyone is interested. https://nikontim.substack.com/p/tamara-is-on-bail?s=w
