Does the Gov have the ability to go in and look at my banking ? Have they ever done that ?

Define 'the Gov't' - do you mean the RCMP, do you mean CSIS - then yes they do AFTER they provide the correct paperwork to your financial institution.

No, you have a reasonable expectation of privacy over your financial records. We can obtain them from the banks with a court issued prosecution order or in very rare cases on an emergency basis (if it could be tied to imminent harm), but the government and police cannot simply examine one’s finances at a whim.

There’s also mandatory reporting of certain threshold or suspicious transactions to FINTRAC, but that’s kept within their data holdings and isn’t open for general inspection.

unless you are a truck driver requesting a meeting with the PM. (sigh)

What would the headlines be if a group of rightwing politicians got together in a sponsored event every year?

Carney, Albanese and Starmer, Canada, Australia and the UK having just cocked a snook at Trump over Palestine get together with the PM of Iceland.

Global Progress Action Summit brought to you by the Center for American Progress. The creation of the Podestas who brought you Obama, Clinton, Trudeau, Ardern and now apparently Albanese and Carney who endorsed Starmer. They also brought you Canada 2020. The think tank that thinks for the LPC.

Funded and supported by the Open Society Foundations.

They do. The International Democracy Union (currently chaired by Stephen Harper) holds two such events per year, one in Washington, one elsewhere.
