Brickbat: Border Bills

A new border reform bill proposed by Canada's Liberal Party government would ban cash transactions of $10,000 (U.S. $7,383) or more and restrict large cash deposits from one person to another. Introduced by Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, the legislation—called the "Strong Borders Act"—also gives officials broader powers to search mail and physical locations without warrants in what are deemed "urgent, time-sensitive circumstances."

Once again, we get the benefit of tariffs as our lazy goofy neighbors to the north now submit to the pressure and step up their game to address crime and trafficking.

Anyway, here's a real Brickbat.

Why does this keep happening with LGBT Pedo men adopting children? Where's the Brickbat for the State signing off on that KNOWING what LGBT Pedo men constantly do with adopted children (in particular and especially, little boys)?

Why isn't there a 10x daily Brickbat for every time the State empowers the LGBT Pedo in one way or another?

Transactions across the border? If not, it's nice to know they shove unrelated tyranny into their big bills, too.

Canada fell to the fascists during the COVID regime. We should no longer consider them a friend or ally to the USA.

Wouldn't want any of the funds in the wrong hands; truckers.

" . . . search mail and physical locations without warrants in what are deemed "urgent, time-sensitive circumstances."

When the shift ends in the next hour and we really, really, want to search this place?

Sigh.

ban cash transactions of $10,000 (U.S. $7,383)

OK, "ban" as in "completely forbid" 'banned' or "ban" as in the Reason-brand, pro-LGBTQIA Pedophile "must be shelved in the adult book section of your local library" 'banned'?

Because the US monitors/reports all transfers and deposits of $10K and even smaller 'structured payments'.

Not to excuse the Cannucks, of course, but given that the word 'ban' doesn't appear in the source article, this feels like a(nother) Reason-brand "I just fell off the turnip truck yesterday, don't know how borders work, and think we should repeal The Jones Act to be more like Canada." take.
