Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday financial institutions have moved quickly to freeze the accounts of people linked to the demonstrations in Ottawa, leaving an unknown number of protesters in financial limbo.
The law also allows banks to target for account closure donors to the GoFundMe and the GiveSendGo fundraising campaigns that fuelled this protest. Freeland said she wouldn't get into the "specifics of whose accounts are being frozen."
Citing terrorist financing laws, the government has forced crowdfunding websites and payment providers to register with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), the government's financial intelligence unit.
In a final warning to the assembled protesters, Freeland said those who have their big rigs on Ottawa's streets will see their insurance cancelled and their corporate accounts suspended � a move that could make it difficult for these drivers to ever work again.

RCMP identify dozens of financial, crypto accounts tied to convoy protests
The RCMP has provided the country�s financial institutions with a list of individuals it says have ties to anti-government protests, instructing banks and cryptocurrency exchanges to cease transacting with them.
The Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) confirmed that the RCMP sent letters to financial institutions on Wednesday that name people the police service identifies as �designated persons� � the legal term the government�s emergency order uses for those participating in illegal acts blocking roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure.

Canada sanctions 34 crypto wallets tied to 'Freedom Convoy' protests
The list of sanctioned crypto wallets includes 29 Bitcoin addresses, one Ethereum address, one Ethereum Classic address, one Litecoin address, one Monero address, and one Cardano address.
By Ian Miles Cheong - February 17, 2022
Canadian authorities have ordered all regulated financial firms to cease facilitating transactions from 34 crypto wallets tied to funding the trucker-led �Freedom Convoy� protests in Ottawa, and elsewhere across the country.
The Ontario Provincial Police and the Royal Canadian Mountain Police working with FINTRAC to investigate cryptocurrency donations supporting the protests against the country�s vaccine mandate have sanctioned the wallets following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau�s announcement earlier this week condemning the protests and invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time since the law was passed in 1988.

According to Axios:
President Biden told reporters Thursday that his "sense" is that Russia will invade Ukraine "within the next several days," as troops and supplies continue to arrive at the border and international monitors report shelling across the line of contact in eastern Ukraine.
Pressed on whether he believes an attack will happen, and if so, when, Biden said, "Yes. My sense is it will happen in the next several days."

Bank Run? Canada's Top Banks Mysteriously Go Offline
Days after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he would invoke emergency orders to crack down on demonstrators by freezing their bank accounts, five major Canadian banks went offline on Wednesday night, as customers reported their funds were unavailable, according to technology website Bleeping Computer.
Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), BMO (Bank of Montreal), Scotiabank, TD Bank Canada, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) were all hit with unexplainable outages on Wednesday evening. Users began reporting issues with banks around 1600-1700 ET, Downdector data showed.
In response, RBC tweeted, "We are currently experiencing technical issues with our online and mobile banking, as well as our phone systems."
"Our experts are investigating and working to get this fixed as quickly as possible, but we have no ETA to provide at this time. We appreciate your patience."
BMO customers also reported issues. One customer said, "I'm having trouble and money transfer just auto gets rejected for no reason. Not going over my limit, all info is verified correct and receiving bank says no issues on their end."

The Russian Foreign Ministry has released its response to the United States on the security proposals in Eastern Europe.
In the document, the Ministry specifically stressed the unacceptability of demands to withdraw Russian troops from the country�s certain areas.
The Ministry pointed out that Russia is concerned over �the growing military activity of the United States and NATO directly near Russian borders, while our �red lines� and core security interests, as well as Russia�s sovereign right to protect them, are still being ignored�.
"Ultimatum-like demands to withdraw troops from certain areas on the Russian territories accompanied by threats of tougher sanctions are unacceptable and undermine the prospects for reaching real agreements", according to the response.
The Ministry also stressed that Russia does not plan any �invasion� of Ukraine, which is why �statements about Moscow�s responsibility for the escalation cannot be regarded otherwise than as an attempt to exert pressure and devalue Russia's proposals on security guarantees�.
Russia believes that to de-escalate the situation around Ukraine, �it is fundamentally important� to implement an array of steps, including the halt of arms supplies to Ukraine, the recall of all Western advisers and instructors from there, and NATO countries� refusal to hold any joint exercises with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The chess game continues in Ukraine. The United States is preparing an attack on the two oblasts of Donbass whose population is now predominantly Russian. According to the Russian Constitution, the President of the Federation, Vladimir Putin, will be responsible for defending them militarily. In order to avoid being held responsible for the explosion, Moscow has therefore taken its turn by withdrawing its troops a few kilometers... while recognizing the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics (i.e. the former Ukrainian oblasts). Washington can no longer invoke the Minsk agreements because, "thanks" to President Macron, Kiev has just refused to apply them. It can no longer invade the Donbass without attacking Russian citizens whose secession is now justified. And it will eventually have to recognize the independence of the two new republics. In the next moves, they could ask for their attachment to the Russian Federation.
In the Donbass the fuse is lit

President Volodymyr Zelensky, who timidly declared that he did not believe in a Russian invasion, is the big loser in this chess game. For believing that the United States and NATO would allow him to crush his fellow citizens in the Donbass, he is losing this region. His popularity in Ukraine has plummeted to 23%.

WASHINGTON, February 17. /TASS/. The ongoing anti-Russian hysteria in the United States does not allow US officials to look at the situation around Ukraine objectively, the Russian embassy in the United States said on Wednesday.
"We paid attention to the statements made by U.S. Department of State spokesperson Ned Price, voiced on February 16 in an interview with CNN. The official once again tried to accuse Russia of spreading disinformation on the situation in Ukraine," it wrote on its Facebook account. "It is obvious that the flywheel of the anti-Russian hysteria spinned in the United States does not allow American colleagues to look at things objectively. Self-hypnosis about the inevitability of the Russian attack persists."
"It got to the point where on the eve of the interview with Ned Price, CNN, during a live stream from Kiev literally launched a countdown to the fake invasion, scheduled by the TV channel for the morning of February 16th," the embassy noted.
The embassy has called on the US Department of State "to stop fueling journalists' "militarist rage" and focus on truly important issues of diplomatic settlement of the intra-Ukrainian conflict."

Bloomberg
"The U.S. contradicted Kremlin statements that it pulled back some of the 150,000 Russian troops and heavy arms placed around Ukraine. NATO and an independent analyst group reportedly said Vladimir Putin may actually be increasing forces there, as western allies warn he could attack his neighbor at any time. �There�s what Russia says and what Russia does, and we haven�t seen any pullback of its forces,� U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday." ...

INFLATION
A new analysis by the Heartland Institute reports the typical American family�s home heating and cooling costs increased by as much as $1,000 in 2021 as a result of President Joe Biden�s energy and environmental policies.
�The average U.S. household in 2021 spent an extra $600 in higher gasoline costs and $70 in higher electricity costs. Further, households that use natural gas spent an extra $300, on average, and those using home heating oil paid $1,000 more. Cumulatively, the average American household paid about $1,000 in higher energy costs in 2021, compared to 2020,� Heartland authors Linneau Lueken and Jack Taylor write in the report.
�It�s also important to note that these higher energy prices have been baked into the costs for all goods and services bought and sold in the economy, contributing to across-the-board inflation. With those costs in mind, it�s clear the Biden administration�s disastrous energy and climate policies cost the average U.S. household� irectly or indirectly�much more than $1,000 over the past year,� Lueken and Taylor continued.
