Bank of Canada - CBDC Helping out the "slower" people here

[Snowballer]

I wonder when the need will arise??? I can hear JT's  whispering voice  already "We are building the capability to issue a digital version of the Canadian dollar—known as a central bank digital currency (CBDC)—that Canadians can trust and rely on so we can be ready should the need arise."

Central bank digital currency (CBDC)

We are building the capability to issue a digital version of the Canadian dollar—known as a central bank digital currency (CBDC)—that Canadians can trust and rely on so we can be ready should the need arise. Currently, we do not have plans to issue a digital currency. Ultimately, Parliament and the Government of Canada will determine if or when to issue a CBDC.

I have to admit I struggle with the rationale behind this digital currency business.  I assume my situation is similar to a lot of people. I receive money digitally-- money gets transferred into my account ( either I transfer it there, or before I was retired my employer would transfer it, or now I get CPP transferred from govt). I make almost all payments of bills and purchases

[Snowballer]

I believe the issues of concern relates to increased control and monitoring over what and when is transacted.  Cash provides a sense of free exchange... reserve digital currencies change that especially when governments overeach or imlement extreme policies like "green/climate" rules that would basically govern a new reality of how money is spent and taxed.  And we know

[GoodLife60]

Government doesn't like it when you can hide cash under your mattress.

[Moemoney42]

Or pay cash to avoid the tax man.. the underground economy will cease to exist if "money" is no longer paper and coins.. ahh the tax man.. don't you just hate him.. LOL.. 

[Snowballer]

Look at the"pandemic" for example.  Imagine the govt simply limited the purchasing power of a digitical currency of someoone who wasn't "vaccinated" and didn't have their digitial ID or passport "up to date". Much easier than colluding with corporate america and the media to help their agenda to convinece society to segregate people.  In hindsight

[masfortuna]

Snowy...Most people here wouldn't get what happened. It's ignorance/apathy that is the main issue. The US funded a Chinese lab to conduct experiments for "gain of function" that could not have been done in the US. The virus escaped.  The US and China BOTH don't want more info out there than is necessary. And they will not "find" anything that would lead to a

[checkup]

Researchers in Boston have continued "gain of function" research on the Omicron strain and the results have a 80% kill rate.  How insane to have allowed this.

[masfortuna]

The idea is that they need to research and create a deadly weapon in order to find the 'solution" (ie. vaccine) in case the enemy has developped that deadly weapon and plans on using it.

[surething1111]

Mas, Bless your heart, but you're still not getting it, considering that original vaccine never worked, and subsequent modifications for variants are no better. The only thing that these vaccines have accomplished is reduce human fertility, and birth rates, not to mention alarmingly increased rates of myocarditis, perocarditis, and blood clots. The irony of it all is, it is attacking

[masfortuna]

  If you must know, I have read some of the reports and I will add that I disagree with some and with others I would need further studies before I place the blame on the vaccines.This is not a personal opinion bt based on my scientific acumen.  I will add that studies conducted in the same fashion have shown that smoking reduces your risk of contracting Sars.  Should you start

[surething1111]

Mas, I respect your opinion on many things, including Bte, however I believe you may have a blind spot regarding covid, I can't blame you because I was brought up trusting in our health agencies, but no more. In future, I will try to stick with Bte and oil related topics. Best S

[masfortuna]

No problem mate.  i don't take things posted here personally and I am totally fine if your opinion doesn't match mine.

[Greenday]

@masfortuna - Watch the video again.  What's the  message being conveyed to the masses when the leaders in the front row need not wear a mask but everybody in the back rows are? https://youtu.be/eWyJJxlOM5E?t=243

[masfortuna]

 Who cares about your video mate.  I have a post graduate degree in a related field with 20 years experience so I can formulate my own opinions on this topic.  I am stating a fact when I say that  humanity when faced with a dangerous virus, turns to vaccines. This is nothing new. As for the "theories" that the world governments and big pharma are trying to poison us

[Snowballer]

Lol.  Mas you were simply wrong but your ego or ignorance remains in the way. Diabetes is more deadly than covid.  And it was known LONG before the vaccines which demographics were at risk (mostly old people with health conditions).  99% of the world was (and remains) not at serious risk of the so called "deadly disease".  The risk for the vast majority of the

[masfortuna]

Sorry Snowy but again you are confusing 2 issues.  There is a deadly virus that possibly can kill 800 million people (based on my above example).  You don't wait for it to kill 800 million people and then say "Oh No!" "We should have tried to develop a vaccine for it instead of pretending you knew everything about how virology actually worked thanks to your twitter

[Mostawesomest]

Ever hear of an educated fool? Piece of paper...good 4 you ;-)

[masfortuna]

Sorry but who is that comment for? And as an aside, you can be highly educated in 1 area and a fool in many others. Just in case that was directed towards me ;)

[Greenday]

@ masfortuna - Why are you trying to groom me by gaslighting me?  I can clearly see in the video that political leades are using covid to assert power on to themselves by not wearing a mask when everybody else must. https://youtu.be/eWyJJxlOM5E

[masfortuna]

Ok I guess you could read into it and draw that conclusion. I will play along.  So you really think that you are equal to those world leaders? and you really think that by not wearing masks they are sending you a subliminal message they want to control you? Correct? Then I guess you should stiop posting onstockhouse and go protest against the governments of the world.

[Greenday]

@ If you refuse to accept the politics of covid then you are part of the problem.  There are many people who view vaccination not as a health issue but as an intrusion into their private lives by power hungry legislators whose primary objective is to bully them.  So can you blame anti vaxers for refusing to comply when legislators have one set of rules for themselves and then another set

[masfortuna]

  Actually I don't disagree with anything you state above. My point, however, is that scientists need to report data that is then peer reviewed in order for them to actually become facts. That's my domain.  How the politicians decide to use this info AND what they choose to present to the constituents has nothing to do with the science. It has more to do with how our elected

[Snowballer]

No, this is not helpful in any way lol.  Someone like you who was pretty "Nazi" I recall about people getting vaccinated is the danger I was talking about. But don't worry I forgive you. From what I just read you wrote it does appear, however, that you're slowly using your common sense and analytical skills on this topic. I commend you for that. But you're WAY behind

[surething1111]

Thanks snowballer, I too accepted a healthy dose of criticism several months back. I forgive the vaxxer crowd......they were well taken in by the propoganda and psyops.   I am relieved that more people are now seeing clearly exactly how it happened, and how we can guard against similar governmental and medical malfeasances in the future. All individuals and institutions responsible

[Greenday]

A federal digital currency will allow extremist politicians such as Prime Minister Blackface to monitor transactions made by people who did't support policies such as the "Emergencies Act" as there will be a digital record of all monitary transactions. Notice the people that must wear masks and the people that need not wear masks in this video of Hu Jinao being cancelled.  The

[masfortuna]

  You are confusing what the masses perceive as an infringement on their well being as being the correct course of action. just because the majority are unaware of how a deadly virus work, does not mean that their views are correct. The fact is that you had a deadly virus and that the only way we know how to deal with it on a mass scale is by vaccination. Just what you personally may think

[Greenday]

@ masfortuna - Cann't political leaders catch a virus too?  

[masfortuna]

Ofc they can. I think the confusion here is that most view this as an either/or situation. Either you are antivaccine OR you take the vaccine. I am just saying that when humanity is face with a deadly virus, we tend to turn to vaccines as the solution. We had/have  deadly virus, so we developped a vaccine to the best of our ability. Nothing new about this. Snowy is mixing his anti-government

[Canukiwi]

mas, the real problem is with those who seek their information from twitter, Facebook. Bulletin Boards, media "Reports", etc. perhaps a subscription to JMA would help.
