So Poilievre clearly has promoted usage of bitcoin and crypto in general, something that the general public is frankly scared about, knowing little about it.
Did I miss a tweet where he decided to pledge to the CAD to bitcoin or something, build a crypto reserve at taxpayer's expense and pull an El Salvador?
The only things i can find are alleged remarks he did a month + after bitcoin has been freefalling (which isn't hard when the whole world economy is crashing). And they all seem to misinterpret a shawarma tweet he did and how he bought a shawarma with bitcoin.
Unless he erased his tweets and I'm blind as a bat, I haven't found anything of major substance to be deemed scary relating to bitcoin he said.
I have a pretty poor opinion of bitcoin and crypto in general as an investment, seeing it as an overhyped ponzi scheme, but I see the same with some growth stocks like Tesla.
Tesla is down 40% from the similar time that Poilievre made his supposed remarks. Would buying an EV and promoting Tesla be mocked? Ironically, one of the biggest bitcoin investing companies is Tesla.
And PP has done some pretty stupid stuff of late most notably his reaching out to the freedumb convoy and mocking masks.
But I fail to see what he said or pledged relating to crypto that is scary.
I can tell you what is scary. Total online censorship of words and thoughts that the government does not like or deem harmful (to whom?). Russia has banned the use of the word "war", this type of censorship bill is a slippery slope that is best not to be left to interpretation by government, and there has not been any evidence that we need such a bill to exist.
And Canadians re-elected our government knowing they were going to try to pull this stunt again.
