I think it's super cute that folks think the account seizures will stay within the borders of Canada.
The US would never show solidarity with the great white dictator of the frozen north by seizing the funds of Americans, in America, that gave the truck terrorists financial support.
Seriously, it's really cute. đ
Yup what would be the point of doing any work anymore ? It also wouldn't matter whether you'd work hard or at which job. Suicides would increase exponentially , especially with people who have nothing left to lose.

We all know corporations run the world and if you seize assets then people will quit going to work. I doubt it happens.

Banks cannot seize your money unless its part of a fraud investigation, at most they can write you a cashiers check for the amount and close the account.

I'm glad you realize Trump is fascist. I'm surprised so many people are falling for it. Everyone who remembers the Nazis and why it was a bad idea must have died off.
or dared to say publicly there is scientifically such a thing as biological sexes -
or dared to say publicly all white people are not oppressors -
or object to porn in schools to teach little children how to be LGBTQ
or believe the science that masks don't really help much after all
or believe the science that lockdowns did more harm than good
or support peoples right to not be forced to be injected against their will
or point out that the Dem leadership is constantly disobeying mandates
they force on who they obviously consider the ignorant peon masses.

Digital currency is horrible because it can be controlled and there is zero privacy.
You never hold your wealth, and there is no underlying value backing it up. Their plan is to tie it to your energy usage and lifestyle.
With tangible assets, my behavior is simply my behavior and I have free speech. With digital assets, facial recognition IDs me using free speech at a protest, and now my behavior triggers an algorithm that cuts me off.
Besides that, imagine what people would get away with. Countries would simply erase their debt, and the giant derivatives bubble will probably go unpaid as well. Just brushed under the rug because the financial system switched. Your debt will not be erased however. Your debt will be used to force you into a digital currency that will require you to connect to the grid. You will never have wealth again at that point. Quite the opposite for the elites though. They will be loaded with material assets and getting more of it along the way. No one in your bloodline will ever rise to the wealth status of the elites. Forever poor, forever kept down.
Add to that the fact that the digital currency will expire in the future, and the forever poor part becomes more easily understood. They plan to have the currency expire monthly in the future. If you could accumulate wealth, the social credit score control structure is avoidable, and they aren't going to allow that. Tangible assets don't expire, and that's part of what enables your freedom.

They may not be seizing accounts, but it looks like the Emergency Act gives them the power to freeze them.
Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act "essentially gives the government a lot more power that you just can't get away with in a democracy like Canada," Solomon said.
"The federal government now has powers to do things such as cancel insurance for any of these trucks if they don't go home. Cancel their license plates and registration. Freeze corporate accounts, as well," Solomon said.

Pretty much, what they can't do is to confiscate your money and not give it back ever unless it's the proceeds of crime.

I would also like to point out that maybe they don't have to mess with the US.
The Great Depression was initially a US problem with the Stock Market crash and the run on banks, but the problems it caused crashed the entire world, not just the one nation. And the world economy has only gotten more intertwined since then.
So they crash Canada, who else falls? It's not like what happens there is in a vacuum.

Ban them as what? A currency or as a speculative investment?
