I look forward towards the investigations about foreign interference. Should be enlightening for other countries as well.

There was no emergency, just a huge annoyance that could have been cleared without dictatorial powers.

It was pretty clear during the protest that the Ottawa police were unable or unwilling to tackle the protest. Given the breakdown in the ability to restore order, most Canadians agree that the emergency was warranted.
Using the phrase "dictatorial powers" to describe a bill explicitly designed to balance rights and forward action is incindiary language.

#8Another reminder of what Bitcoin is good for. The article currently links to another one that says they froze 200 bank accounts and are now unfreezing most of them: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emergency-bank-measures-fin... https://archive.fo/lAT62
It's a terrifying reminder of how vulnerable we've become to arbitrary and lawless government actions in our near-cashless society.

Bitcoin won't help you here: you still need to convert things to fiat to get anything done. And if shops start taking Bitcoin, the government will simply regulate those payments as well.
Crypto doesn't exist in a vacuum.
