Not sure what Edge is but clearly it’s a deeply unserious organization that uses memes to respond to serious (and absolutely worthy of debate) requests.
> and absolutely worthy of debate
No, it's worthy of ridicule, which is the right move here.
What a childish response and a great way to invite future regulation. I’m not an Edge customer but if I was I wouldn’t be anymore. Why would I entrust my money with a company that ignores the law and responds in memes?
Is it against the law for a US company to say "No" to a "request" by the Canadian government? Does edge even have a presence in Canada or need to follow Canadian laws(if the request is actually a demand)?
But responding with a meme? An institution that presumably holds my money? Oof.
When this protest started, people were complaining that the government was approaching the protest with relative tolerance compared to things like pipeline protests. Well, now protestors are being arrested and their accounts being frozen. They're no longer being treated nicely compared to environmental protestors. While I don't agree with their stance, I do think that "we should not have a vaccine mandate" is a valid…
Environmental protesters are FREQUENTLY arrested, so if you’re upset about these arrests at least have the decency to also be upset about these ones last year:

They are not ignoring the law: “And most importantly, we can’t even if we wanted to.” Sounds like they are a non-custodial wallet or similar. While they may truly believe the law is amoral and are in part happy to make that statement, this is primarily a marketing stunt for the pro-privacy and unseizable aspects of self-custodied crypto wallets.

Presumably because "government not able to seize my money" >>>>> "government able to seize money of my opponents". (I am not an Edge customer either)
Oof. Not a good look for edge. I'll be the first to admit I think this protest is about a bunch of idiots with a victim complex. They should just get the vaccine like 90% of the rest of their profession have done. It's safe and is what anyone should do to help their fellow humans. The Emergencies Act is law. If Edge wants to do business in Canada they have to follow it. I don't see this ending well for them. Maybe I'…
As a mid-30s sw engineer, I’d say it’s a good look. I hate professional facades and meme’ing is how people communicate now. I’d also say the first part of your your last statement is probably correct, in that you might be an old curmudgeon ;)
