Canadians are protecting their financial sovereignty. In a move planned in advance, Canadians have begun pulling all of their money out of bank accounts. This seems to be a natural reaction to the situation; the government has threatened to freeze bank accounts without the need for a court order.

People withdrawing huge amounts of money said they were avoiding a possible government measure announced in recent days by Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada.

The money move was noticed by James Melville, an economic journalist from the United Kingdom. On his Twitter feed, he posted a graph showing the massive flow of money that has been withdrawn from Canadian banks.
Canada is currently going through a series of protests caused by the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine scheme. Citizens are making social and economic demands as well.
The high point of the protests came a couple of days ago. Trudeau and other officials announced that they may freeze the bank accounts of people who are obstructing the streets.
However, this is not the most worrying thing. Worse is the plan to add detainees to a ‘misconduct’ file. Once on it, they will be banned from accessing certain types of employment, as well as being deemed as ‘terrorists.’ This surprisingly places Canada into territory where the concept of democracy seems to be in question
