Danielle Smith discussed COVID charges 'almost weekly' with justice officials

Digital currency will come someday , like it or not. There is a fine line on surveillance. Freezing bank accounts for criminal activity like the blockaders is different than for political opponents. Nothing is ever cut and dried right or wrong. Judgement will be at the ballot box. You should also worry about political interference in the legal system. That seems to be a problem for all political stripes

Speaking of fine lines, would you agree that the fine line between a political opponent and a criminal is open to interpretation depending on whose politics they are opposing? Your statement makes it sound like that is very cut and dried.
History is full of examples of authoritarians and communist dictators inventing trumped up charges against their political opponents as an excuse to remove them.
I hope you never find yourself on the other side of that equation.

[QUOTE=AlbertaFarmer5;565872]I'm not referring to crypto, I meant Central Bank digital currency. And surveillance, as methods of “getting rid of the underground economy and organized crime and corruption. “

That’s what they’ll have you believe but total control of every aspect of your life is the goal.

Good luck trying manage the trade and the diplomatic file with China.

Behind the scenes exporters including farmers who do a lot of business selling goods and commodities to China will be hoping it is managed well.

I am sure all the conservative China bashers would be happy to cut all trade and ties with China just to make a point! LOL
