Hopefully, this organization is unlike the American ACLU, which is a collection of hypocrites.
Here are some screenshots of them chatting about getting into the action.

Trudeau and co. just better hope the workers don’t start reading Mao like he did in his youth, or they’ll learn all about how that revolutionary managed to win by “surrounding the cities from the countryside.” Or how Mao began his revolution by declaring that “a single spark can start a prairie fire” – but then the Canucks seem to have already managed to do that part already.
Absolutely brilliant! And a treatise on the difference between modern conservatives and liberals. For someone raised by JFK democrats from NYC, who grew up in Chicago, and has an advanced degree, my views diverge from most of the people I grew up with.
But then I have spent almost all of my career in manufacturing - design and engineering of manufacturing systems, or managing workers in production and maintenance. Everything I do has to be implemented in the physical, and has to work. Even now working at home, everything I do is in support of global manufacturing operations - helping them with problems and implementing improvements based on standards and best practices learned from all of of the other plants.
Most everyone I know from school that is in IT or Academia or other non-physical professions is way left of me. But people in my profession and the people we manage are usually more conservative. If not for the democrat lock on labor unions, which the workers can't seem to break no matter how much they are sold out by their "leadership", we would all vote Republican.

Bitcoin wallet company Nunchuk announced that they’d gotten a request to freeze accounts from the government, “Yesterday, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice sent us a Mareva Injunction, ordering us to freeze and disclose information about the assets involved in the #FreedomConvoy2022 movement.” But Nunchuk explained to the clueless government that they don’t hold any money like a custodial financial institution, they don’t collect user information apart from emails, and they don’t hold the keys to any of the wallets — that it’s all private to the user, by design.
“Please look up how self custody and private keys work,” the company chided the government. “When the Canadian dollar becomes worthless, we will be here to serve you too.”
Edge wallet had an even more direct response to the fascistic request from the government.
Regardless of whether the protests resonate with individuals or not, financial seizure is an unprecedented action that must be taken seriously. It’s with great consideration that we would like to share our official response to the request that Canadian users’ Edge accounts be frozen:
No.
“And most importantly, we can’t, even if we wanted to.”
This got me digging a bit deeper. I keep a wallet with a crypto exchange where I keep a small percentage of my crypto assets for buying and selling coins. The coins don't stay there long before I transfer them to cold storage. I'm thinking that the Canadian govt. seized jack shit in crypto. They're just pounding their own chest and posturing. I don't know of anyone keeping their crypto on a public exchange. You're warned not to. I have zero worries about my cold storage crypto being seized.
... Yet the authorities’ actions may only have a minimal effect on the protesters’ crypto funds, particularly if they are using “unhosted” wallets disconnected from the internet or a cryptocurrency exchange. This method of transferring crypto peer-to-peer means that the assets are stored in “noncustodial” wallets, which, Burgoyne says, “keeps [the assets] insulated from…a government or bank.”
The protest organizers can easily transfer crypto to new wallets, where assets can be cashed out in Canadian dollars via an exchange. Burgoyne doesn’t believe that the government will start tracking historical wallet transactions, but even if it did, owners could use crypto “mixers” like Tornado Cash to “wash” their funds, hiding their digital trails on the blockchain.
Burgoyne argues that using such “self-hosted” wallets means that it will be “very difficult, if not impossible” for Canadian authorities to actually freeze protesters’ crypto assets.

The “Red Zone”. Curious name, sounds Communistic.
All this because some want to take the livelihood away from others, unless they get injected with a substance that they don’t want to be injected with.
Who’s the Fascists, who’s carrying out the dictates of a Dictator?

Those 'thugs' (notice I did not use the term cops) need to be knocked the F out. That right there is pure Trudeau garbage.

I find it amusing that every post-apocalyptic dystopian movie from Hollywood tells a story of far right takeover:
The Handmaid's Tale, V for Vendetta, and what have you.
But in reality, totalitarianism is always voted in and supported freely and willingly by the left.
Canadians voted for Justin twice. Now they can live with it. And most of them are absolutely fine with it, until become the targets. Then it will be too late.
I haven't been paying real close attention, but are there food shortages in Ottawa yet? Seems most cities only have a few days of food. Are the stores wiped out? I can't imagine the stores getting deliveries.

Yes we are actively photographing those that participate in the protest and we are going to track them down. We are going to Financially ruin those who oppose us.

It sickens me that there is exactly ZERO outcry from the hypocrites that claimed that looting, burning, and violence during our riots was for civil rights in our country. This is actual tyranny- clear evidence of a police state at work. As others have said, this is coming to America soon. I only hope my brothers and sisters in law enforcement say unequivocally “NO”.

You know what would be an amazing middle finger to the north eastern tyrants? An airlift of supplies by private citizens. Even if it didn't amount to much in volume, I'd think the effort would be difficult for the other side to explain away.
Oh, and just imagine if they shot down any of them...if it wasn't on after that I don't know when it would be.

Its odd seeing the Socialists willing to burn down their government over this - Its the final stage of all Socialist states, but it seems like, if they can find a Regan, it could be the start of a real libertarian movement in Canada.

Remember when they were refusing to serve officers or spitting in their coffee a couple years ago here? If I was a Canadian police officer, I would never eat in public again.
