What you are going to find is that the federal government made announcements about subjecting crowdfunding sites to regulations and mandatory FINTRAC reporting under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act. Essentially that crowdfunding is now lumped with a multitude of other money services businesses and financially-involved businesses.
The same way they used a OIC to change the CC on firearms. there was no definition and still no definition from what I can read on the term "assault rifle or assault style firearms". But they seem to thrown those terms around often.
To identify money as “proceeds of crime” is a very separate and specific matter, and is determined by police and prosecutors.
or used as key phrases by politicians to push a agenda. The difference between the actual charge and the use of words to make an emotion charge of the public.
You made a claim that I don’t believe you are able to support with facts. The convoy fundraising was not described as “proceeds of crime” by the federal government. The Ontario government did obtain a Criminal Code restraint order against some of the crowdfunding, based on the money being “offence related property” in that it facilitated ongoing offending. That’s not “proceeds of crime”, and was not done by the federal government.
From the article below.
CF quoted as saying "The illegal blockades have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms, and some of the payment service providers they use, are not fully captured under the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act," she said.
"We are making these changes because we know that these platforms are being used to support illegal blockades and illegal activity which is damaging the Canadian economy."
Their are a couple of videos where Jt and CF mentioned proceeds of crime and the convoy fund raising. Just like their play on words when they used the term "assault rifle" then changed it to "assault style rifle" they seeded the words to fit their narrative, then changed when called out.
make no mistake, both JT and CF set the tone and made the accusations. Neither one care about definitions as long as their words enrage the emotions of their supporters to follow their narrative.
I did. I didn't know it was an actual employment category. If it were government there would be a nine-digit position code. ZipRecruiter shows "Community Activist" rangine from $21.15-$36.30/hr. US and "Social Activist" averaging $25/hr. I don't know if many work a 40 hour week and if things like travel expenses, sign/flag costs are separate. It's not nothing but I don't know if I'd call it being pair "pretty well". There's probably a chance that if you have a resume that shows leadership in violence and damage you might command a higher rate.
Somebody from the government said this?
Somebody didn't read the Criminal Code.
We know he never read the firearms act, neither did bill blair or the others involved in their firearms OIC. So why would they read any other part of the CC.
Who the hell has the funds to pay activists an average of $25?
those people who have interests that do not align with ours,
How committed to the cause is this activist if it's "just another Wednesday..." <Said w/ British accent for some reason> and he's got something else to protest next week, somewhere else?
LOL
Genuinely curious as to what organizations are so well funded they can put up ads on recruiting sites to hire s**t disturbers...
Green peace, Oil lobbyists from the US who do not like to pay proper rates for Foreign oil, who now do not want us to sell our oil over seas for the proper rates.
Similar to those funding the protests against logging in BC, thats been going on for many decades. Not as much money needed because lots of actual tree huggers in Bc who have nothing better to do.
Foreign countries in Europe who do not like Canadian Oil, Logs, coal, and other minerals. As it cuts into their market.
There was a study done after the Vancouver Protest (riots) for who the main instigators were, when they linked some of the main members they found out they travel around NA and even parts of Europe as paid instigators. More then a few of them live in the US. Are very carful where and when they protest.
It is a multi million dollar business to provide activists in support or against depending on who is footing the bill.
Follow the money and see where it comes from and goes to. don's trust the government to inform you.
