A number of major Canadian banks were hit by an hours-long outage on Wednesday. The outage happened one day after the Canadian Government invoked the Emergencies Act, giving officials the authority to freeze bank accounts of suspects, seize protesters’ trucks, and suspend their vehicle insurance.
Yeah, that's a bunch of bullshit if you ask me. I really dislike all of these "emergency powers" that the government can just bestow upon themselves basically whenever they
think it's necessary. And yes I realize that they're not a new thing at all, but when you look at a situation like this with a bunch of protesters you start to see how politicians being able to level up straight to God Mode is not a good thing.
I wouldn't have thought Canada would stoop to the Draconian measures the US and some other countries have imposed on their citizenry, but I guess we're really living in a different time, eh?
Not sure what the status is of the protest and the truckers, but I'm rooting for them all the way.
