This is an incredibly misinformation-dense post. Accounts were not seized. People who donated over 50 were not targeted. There was no bank run. There was little blowback. Protest rights were not suspended. The emergencies act invocation was passed by parliament and always has a built in expiry.

        Having an opinion - which you can justify vaguely logically - about subjective matters and sharing it isn't 'spreading misinformation.' There's a very toxic current of censorship spreading which involves redefining opinions (inherently a subjective matter) as information (inherently an objective matter) in order to justify them being censored on the grounds of 'combating misinformation.' People are free to be wrong and to spread the word of their wrongness. If you take the random words - on a subjective topic! - of a weirdo on the internet to be 'information' then you're a bloody idiot.

  >It’s a lot of misinformation. It's only 'misinformation' if you take the words of random people on the internet as being 'information' instead of 'opinion.' As that's a very foolish thing to do I think it's better to call their content 'ignorance' rather than 'misinformation' as that accords it a type of status it doesn't deserve. With that in mind, do you propose that the ignorant should be silenced?

Sorry but you're either misinformed or trying to memory hole this events. > Accounts were not seized. 1.

Whose bank accounts can be frozen through the Emergencies Act? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c84oLt8n-GM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c84oLt8n-GM 3. The bank accounts of the main organizers are still seized. Tamara Lich and Pat King are frozen as well as others. > Protest rights were not suspended. Yes they were! The government gave themselves the right to decide where people could protest. They also charged protestors on horses and assaulted others. And blocked off the area near parliament. Going to so far even now, as to tell people they can't fly the FCK Trudeau flag.

  Seizure means you don't get your money back. Freezing means you don't get to touch it right now. There are no credible reports of Canadians' bank balances being seized.

  If you can't even understand the difference between "seize" and "freeze", you should consider not having an opinion on this matter.
  - dukeofdoom 5y ago
    If a government indefinitely "freezes" your bank account, the only practical difference from "seizing" is semantics. Just like you can protest freely, as long as you don't mind getting trampled by a horse or your ribs broken. If you can't win with facts, argue semantics and the definitions of words. I've heard it many times on Sam Harris podcast. So who's trying to misinform?

Wrong on nearly everything you said, based on what I know. Can largely attest to everything dukeofdoom said. You are most likely relying on mainstream news only.

You can't call his post "misinformation-dense" Then lead with "Accounts were not siezed", as it's a matter of fact. Yours is certainly a worse type of misinformation. And appalling to see the comments below, begging for censorship.
