They are. But if they don’t comply I suspect they would not be able to operate in country.

Yes, some of us could only dream that the Federal Government would put as much effort seizing the assets of sophisticated criminal organizations as the did going after Mom & Pop's donating to the Freedom Convoy
As Canada’s home prices soared during COVID-19, real-estate money laundering audits fell 64% | Globalnews.ca
As nearly half a billion dollars in sales flooded the Canadian housing market last year, audits conducted by Canada’s anti-money laundering watchdog plummeted during COVID-19.globalnews.ca
It's ok though, my spouse and I actually had a conversation the other day about potentially eventually immigrating South to more economically favourable conditions. I already have a number of relatives South of the Border and seeing the general trend of things here, the decision may be an easy one, sooner rather than later
Don't be silly we only investigate our political adversaries not the CCP err I mean anyone else.
I have a big truck I can take both our families! Hop in!

Operate in?
I think you don't have a firm grasp of how finances work these days.
Yes perhaps they could block Canadian Financial Institutions from sending money - or an electronic transfer from one to a Canadian Account - but I didn't see old CF talking about dealing with Crypto, so one could run a Crypto campaign - and then either wire money from a third party account, or send a MO or Certified Check (or Cheque for y'all).
Plus nothing stops a Canadian from getting a US bank account - I had one for years before immigrating down here.
Sure the interest etc info is reported to CRA, so you can't duck the tax man, but you could move money to things the CG wouldn't be aware of.

I think they are talking about money moving in and out of Canadian banking accounts via those services, but I think they'd be better off by clarifying the tax laws around this. If you read the transfer requirements on gofundme, for example, they have pretty specific eligibility requirements but it's in depth enough that they probably are already aware of what is required under whatever international wire transfer laws apply. I'm sure anyone US based already has this info and there are all kinds of existing banking info agreements between the two countries, and Canadian banks send info along annually to the IRS on US citizen Canadian accounts, so I think there would probably be a lot less resistance to cooperation than you think.
In theory money going to the individuals is taxable income, so really up to them to report it individually. Bad day though when the disbursement gets traced down to the individuals if they didn't declare it; no one can ruin your life like the tax man under their normal, day to day authorities.
Having said that, the CRA still hasn't done much about the Panama papers or any of the other big tax dodges that got leaked to the public so hope they go after the hundreds of millions there before they even think about some kind of Freedum convoy 'task group', and limit it to the big ticket grifters instead of going after all the individual protestors.

All Gun Owning Canadians Welcome - if you don't have a gun, I can lend you one
Can I bring my own ?
That’s what I am getting at.
And no I am not that versed in financial transactions.
Transactions still need to be effectuated. The law they want to bring in covers transaction from and to Canadians.
So if a crowd funding platform wants to operate in Canada, like any other business they would need to register.
Of course there are ways around it. It just makes it harder. Go fund me is going to comply. They won’t risk losing business in Canada over it. Same with PayPal give. Give send go? No clue but they are rank amateurs with other issues right now so no loss. People should think twice about using that site. They’d be doing people a favour by not complying.

Clearly a danger like this to society cannot be allowed to walk around free, unlike drug dealers, rapists, gangbangers........

Have to prove you aren’t at risk of reoffending. I guess she didn’t make her case. He did.
We’ll see how the Pat King bail hearing goes.

I know both Montana and Alaska. I prefer the weather in Montana. If moving to Montana soon (don't eat the yellow snow) I would recommend staying clear of the tonier places. They think like Ottawa People. Having said that, there are lots of other wide open spaces with Other People.
