This actually shocked me. And I am not easily shocked. It is extremely disturbing as a harbinger of what's to come. And not just in Canada.
@Margery, does this story sound likely to you? It does to me, but maybe I'm jaded.

Hi Adrian, yes it's a thing, I didn't think it had gone beyond the truckers so when I saw this post of yours I looked it up.
I listened to him, and I agree. I know NOTHING about bitcoin that he talks about, but --I do know well enough to keep a low profile and "look normal".
It's not safe to stand out politically religiously or any other way. Don't look too conservative, too well dressed or too badly dressed. Don't make yourself a target in other words. I don't talk to pollsters anymore and I never share who I hope wins elections outside my trusted inner circle.
I have friends that I trust, and I'm open with them, but I'm pretty closed off and neutral in a "cheerful granny on a pension with a cane look" to everyone else I meet. I try not to look disabled even with that cane. I keep that persona active when I leave the house. Things I remember my Russian mother in law telling me. Not to be too open and trusting.
I'm exceptionally twitchy about the banks- past history plus Trudeau and the truckers and any vestige of trust I had is pretty much gone.
Plus they've been on about "money laundering" for years but it hasn't made a dent in crime, so I suspect that is just useful cover to establish the unquestioned ability of the govt to reach into anyone's bank accounts, which was going on before Trudeau and the truckers.
My Internal "twitch o meter" has been going off a LOT lately. It's Carney. That guy you listened to is right on every thing he mentioned. It's Carney and it's NOT good. Things are changing fast and I don't think a lot of people are noticing yet.
Globe and Mail has an article on it, behind a pay wall.
But I was able to access an article by Canadian debt relief,
Understanding Debanking: The Rising Trend of Account Closures and How to Protect Yourself in Canada - Canadian Debt Relief
They have some tips below- and I'll bold some bits I think are super important.
"How to Protect Yourself Against Account Closures in Canada
Banks in Canada have increasingly adopted stringent measures aimed at mitigating risk, with the resultant practice of debanking affecting numerous individuals across the country.
To protect oneself against potential account closures, individuals should prioritize maintaining a diverse banking portfolio by establishing relationships with multiple financial institutions.
This strategy not only reduces dependency on a single bank but also enhances overall financial flexibility.
Additionally, it is crucial for account holders to stay vigilant by regularly monitoring their account activity and promptly addressing any discrepancies or suspicious transactions with their bank—this proactive engagement can signal to financial institutions that the customer is responsible and engaged.
If faced with the unfortunate circumstance of debanking, it is advisable to document all communications with the bank and request confirmation in writing regarding the closure rationale, even though banks are generally not obligated to provide detailed explanations.
Establishing a strong financial management practice, including clear documentation of income sources and expenses, can also bolster one’s profile as a low-risk customer in the eyes of the bank."
There was a good talk with Mondo Gonzales and Billy Crone this afternoon

going into detail about King Charles and the New World Order types, how it's mapped out, and I was sitting there nodding along, thinking about the throne speech on Tuesday and Mark Carney, how he's folding us into the EU militarily and thinking how it's lining up with what I'm seeing.
By the way should you want details on that little effort by Carney here it is:

Yesterday's conspiracy theory is today's news.
It's funny because I thought, "should I share these?" and said NAHHH, too out there. Not for me where I sit here in Canada, but it might sound strange to American ears.
But it lines up with this guy.
So either me, you and this guy are doing WAY too much Billy Crone lately, or the tinfoil hat is maladjusted or we are right.
