Pro-cash movement warns that people could be losing more than they bargained for

Many porn actors have been blacklisted from the US banking system.

Conservatives got tired of losing US supreme court cases over censorship laws and regulations and shifted to enforcing their morals via the private banking system.

Ever notice that there's no law or regulation requiring banks provide even basic checking service to anyone who can establish a valid identity?

Going cashless cannot happen unless either the government starts providing essential (checking, savings, credit card, and home/personal/auto financing) services they are mandated to provide to everyone (which will never happen because the banking industry would lose a ton of control) or banks must be mandated to provide non-lending services to anyone and provide lending on an identity-blind basis (ie, only metrics may be used, none which identify the type of banking or business or employment or spending you do.)

You know the government is currently a minority government, meaning that they require the support of at least one other party to remain in power and an election can be called at any time. Canada's has elections every like 18 months on average under minority government.

Any impropriety in the process would have almost certainly toppled the government and led to an immediate election.

The person who found the government was justified in its use of the Emergencies Act [1] was Paul Rouleau [2] a justice of the Court of Appeals of Ontario.

The senators are appointed by various leaders and are, at least in theory, not aligned with any political party and given lifetime appointments. The House of Commons is elected and comprised of various parties. The King is obviously a hereditary role and lives in England, not beholden to any one person in Canada really, but instead to all Canadians. Obviously the King is neither nominated nor elected. And the Governor General is also pretty unaligned as the King's representative to Canada.

So no, you're wrong, oversight comes from all over the political spectrum and all kinds of affiliations.

Are you applying an American lens? The political system in Canada is quite different, and this is starting to feel like a high school Canadian civics class.

That does make sense, Tornoto and especially BC has always been an enclave for the Main-lander to setup shop in Real Estate and then eventually educate their children or eventually expat to, and the place is rife with abuse, and at times violence, towards HKers while the local government or schools not doing much in response.

> What? We have an office in Montreal with French-Canadians, French and Swiss employees and I've never heard of such thing.

Its work enviorment, and the line of thinking you're taking follows as:

I don't see passive-racism in my office, where we pay people to work cordially for a salary with people they otherwise wouldn't be around, therefore racism doesn't and mustn't exist.

Racism is an over-used word in the modern lexicon, but ultimately this is a racial thing: you speak my language and are white, but clearly not from our specific ilk therefore we will ridicule you for it in order to show how inferior you appear to me/us.

I lived and worked in European/N. American kitchens, and restaurants frequented by all of the above; God help you if you only knew what they think about people from Angola or Mali. I was first there during the refugee crisis during the latter part of the financial crisis (11-14) when they couldn't house them so many just lived in city parks in any major town.

Swiss-French, specifically from Geneva, always got a pass for some reason: must be the Banker money/wealth thing attached to it. My friend was from Bern (difficult native mundart speaker even by Swiss German standards) but spoke French with that accent for work as a corporate worker at SBB at dinner parties. Whereas Vaulis always got a strange look if it were in earshot.

But You honestly cannot be oblivious of the way the mainland French perceive it's various dialects, hell even Alsace or Marsille dialects/accents get the cold shoulder from Parisian speakers at a table: but personally, Normandy sounds the best to my ears when spoken by a woman.
