The latest cause for Canadian concern comes from Bill C-2 — the Strong Borders Act — that will supposedly protect #Canada from organized crime. Yet upon examination, it’s more a Strong #Surveillance Act.

If it passes, it will become a Criminal Code offence for businesses, professionals, and charities to accept #cash donations, deposits, or payments of $10,000 or more. Even if the $10,000 payment or donation is broken down into several smaller cash transactions, it will be crime to receive it.

This is similar to Quebec’s Bill 54 which empowers police to presume that any person carrying $2,000 or more in cash is connected to an #illegal activity.

Restricting the use of cash is a dangerous step towards #totalitarianism. Cash gives us #privacy, autonomy, and freedom from surveillance by government and by banks, credit card companies, and other corporations.
