Freedom Convoy: Canadian police prepare for mass arrests

The transformation of Canada into a police state is near. Ottawa police went from truck to truck, handing out flyers to Freedom Convoy protesters demanding that they leave the rally area immediately or face arrest and criminal charges.

“ You have to leave the area now ,” reads the notice. “ Anyone blocking the roads, or assisting others in blocking [the] roads, is committing a criminal offense and you could be arrested,” basically the warning of an upcoming use of force.

The warning is an escalation of law enforcement efforts as the protest against vaccination obligations and social restrictions enters its 20th day. The move comes after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked for emergency powers this week to end the demonstrations.

Ottawa police, in their notice, said that with the new powers made available by the federal emergency order, it is now illegal for new protesters or their supporters to enter downtown Ottawa and join the demonstration. Police also said driver's licenses could be revoked under a different, but active, emergency order from the province of Ontario.

Yesterday 13 protesters involved in a “Coutts blockade” were arrested, however today's order officially warns that the police are ready to arrest everyone. Will it have prisons large enough?

According to Bloomberg, Trudeau's orders, aimed in part at cutting funds to protesters, have a broader scope than previously reported, which "forces portfolio managers and securities firms to take a closer look. closely to those who are doing business ".

The new rules require an extensive list of entities, including banks, investment firms, co-operative banks, loan companies, securities dealers, fundraising platforms, insurance companies, and mutual assistance firms. They must determine whether they are in "possession or control of the property" of a person participating in an illegal protest or providing supplies to protesters, according to orders issued by the government late Tuesday night.

If they find such a person on the customer list, they must block their accounts and report it to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or Canadian Intelligence Service, the regulations say. Any suspicious transactions should also be reported to the country's anti-money laundering agency, known as Fintrac . – Bloomberg

So the police state that Trudeau is establishing does not limit itself to controlling the demonstration, but tends to a total financial control of the people, passing through the tracking of all their financial activities. At the end
