Trudeau invokes emergency powers threatening to take their licenses

Proverbs 22:8 “Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail.”

Important Takeaways:

  • Trudeau Goes ‘Totalitarian’, Threatens to Freeze Truckers’ Bank Accounts and Destroy Their Jobs
  • Trudeau invoked emergency powers, allowing the government to seize cars and trucks, suspend their insurance, and even freeze truckers’ personal and corporate bank accounts.
  • Trudeau threatened truckers saying, “You don’t want to end up losing your license, end up with a criminal record, which will impact your job, your livelihood, even your ability to travel internationally, including to the U.S.”
  • The Canadian Civil Liberties Association said the government had not met the standard for invoking the Emergencies Act. Reuter’s reports the Act is only intended to deal with threats to “sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.”
  • Heather Wilson, co-founder of the U.S.-based crowd-funding site GiveSendGo is fighting back. “This is probably going to be the fight of my life,” Wilson told Faithwire News. “We’re going to continue to fight for freedom. This is absolutely insane that governments think they can step in and trample on people’s God-given rights.”

Mexico freezes bank accounts in widening migration clampdown

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – The Mexican Finance Ministry said on Thursday it blocked the bank accounts of 26 people for their alleged involvement in human trafficking, as Mexico broadens its migration clampdown amid growing pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump.

The ministry’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) said in a statement it froze the accounts due to “probable links with human trafficking and illegal aid to migrant caravans.”

The FIU added that it would present the cases to the Attorney General’s office.

Last week, Trump said the Mexican government must take a harder line on migrants or face 5% tariffs on all its exports to the United States from June 10, rising to as much as 25% later this year.
