Bit of a tangent, but the fundraiser that the Canadian government froze was initially organized by a Canadian secessionist and a white nationalist, and during that protest (and possibly unrelated) weapons were seized at a border crossing from members of diagalon, a white nationalist group that wants to carve out parts of Canada and USA to make a “white” nation.

Unlike your other examples, that one is an example of using crypto for nefarious reasons.



I was talking about the truckers during covid. and once again : not the point. Money is neutral, it's what you do with it that's bad.

The law pretends decidiing everything about right or wrong, but there are plenty of legitimate cases where the law is on the wrong side.


You mean the Diagolon group who's leader is a cocaine using ceramic time travelling goat ?

The Diagolon that the House of Commons said was a "violent extremist organisation." but has never committed a crime ?

The same Diagolon that the RCMP determined: "DIAGOLON does not pose a criminal or national security threat." - Royal Canadian Mounted Police https://finance.yahoo.com/news/documents-reveal-shocking-rcm...

Diagolon is a meme and you don't get it, which is ok but stop spreading misinformation.


Ah, so there was a procedural issue in prosecuting the group with a cache of guns that wants to carve out a white nation out of Canada and the US. My mistake.

This doesn’t change the point that from the perspective of the Canadian government, they were facing 2 racist separatist groups at a time, and one of the groups was raising a LOT of cash while leading an occupation of the capital.

This is a valid scenario for seizing funds, though maybe the fact that groups like Diagalon and Wexit are a “meme” should be considered more closely.


Where are these racist separatist groups coming from ?

Sure Wexit is a separatist group but I fail to see where you are getting racist from.

One of the originators of Diagolon is black.


In the case of Wexit, Tamara Lich was a founder, and she buddied up with Pat King for the fundraiser, who is a self avowed white supremacist, like he's literally on twitter saying white people have the "strongest" bloodline.

If someone who is involved with multiple "Canada for Canadians" movements joins forces with a known racist, I would take the odds and bet good money that person is a racist.
