HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.(IN 1 HR THE STOCK MARKETS WORLDWIDE WILL CRASH)
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed:(CONFISCATED) their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

3 And there came out of the smoke (DEMONIC) locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

Teamsters union serves CN Rail with 72-hour strike notice as CPKC stoppage ongoing-Developments follow federal labour minister's referral of dispute to Canada Industrial Relations Board-Peter Zimonjic · for CBC News · Posted: Aug 23, 2024 8:11 AM EDT |

The Teamsters union has served Canadian National Railway (CN) with a 72-hour strike notice, hours after saying it was taking down picket lines and workers were returning to the job."Please find this letter as official notice to the company of our intention to withdraw the services of our combined membership of approximately 6,500 members," reads the notice sent to CN on Friday morning by the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference.The notice says that the union does not believe any of the ongoing issues between the railway and the Teamsters to be "insurmountable" and that it remains open to negotiating with the company in order to prevent any "further work stoppage."Speaking in Calgary, François Laporte, the president of Teamsters Canada, said the company's demands would have broken the union's collective agreement and that its priority is to ensure union members have "decent and reasonable working conditions.""We believe in fair and honest bargaining and that's what we want, we want a fair and honest bargaining with the company," he said.The work stoppage at Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) also continues pending an order from the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB).Following months of increasingly fraught contract talks, Canada's two biggest railways both locked out workers after failing to reach deals with the union by a Thursday deadline.The unprecedented work stoppage prompted federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon to refer the dispute to the CIRB to impose binding arbitration.The union and CPKC officials met with the board on Thursday and will meet again Friday.CPKC said it was prepared to discuss the resumption of service at the meeting with the CIRB, but the union refused and wants to make submissions to challenge the constitutionality of MacKinnon's direction.CN and CPKC locked out 9,300 engineers, conductors and yard workers just after midnight Thursday, capping months of increasingly tense and bitter labour negotiations. CPKC's 3,500 workers went on strike at the same time.Jonathan Abecassis, director of public affairs and media relations at CN, said that without an agreement or binding arbitration, the company "had no choice" but to lock out employees. CPKC also called for binding arbitration, saying the union has made "unrealistic demands."Less than 17 hours after the lockout began, MacKinnon announced he would use his powers as labour minister to step in. Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code allows the government to refer a labour dispute to the CIRB to find a solution.Laporte of Teamsters Canada said on Friday that the minister's actions were not acceptable to the union."The best way to have a contract is at the bargaining table," he said. "We don't believe to let a third party to decide what's going to be our working condition."We know the ... railway operation are very complicated," he added. "The union knows the operation, the company knows the operation, and they know what we need to operate this and to provide the workers with decent working conditions."Laporte said the union will use its "constitutional right" to fight the company for a fair deal."We are here and we are going to stay here," he said.Cargo and commuter disruptions-Pressure from industry groups and provincial governments to resolve the conflict has been mounting for weeks.The companies haul a combined $1 billion in goods each day, according to the Railway Association of Canada. Many shipments were pre-emptively stopped to avoid stranding cargo.The impasse affects tens of thousands of commuters in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, whose rail lines run on CPKC-owned tracks. Without traffic controllers to dispatch them, passenger trains cannot run on those rails.Industries affected by the work stoppage include agriculture, mining, energy, retail, automaking and construction. U.S. railways also have had to turn away Canada-bound shipments.Shippers south of the border also rely on Canada's two main railways, whose tracks run to the Gulf of Mexico and, in CPKC's case, to several Mexican ports.With files from CBC News and The Canadian Press..

Trudeau says he's following CN Rail negotiations 'extremely closely,' saying he's counting on both parties to reach a deal for Canadians.Updated Aug. 22, 2024 8:42 p.m. EDT

Canada's Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon is intervening to end a work stoppage that saw this country's two largest railways grind to a standstill Thursday, by forcing the parties into binding arbitration.Announcing the major move from Parliament Hill, MacKinnon said he is invoking powers under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to direct the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to "assist the parties in settling the outstanding terms of their collective agreements by imposing final binding arbitration."MacKinnon has also ordered the board to extend the term on the parties' current collective agreements until new deals are signed, and is calling for operations on both railways to resume "forthwith." The move has been met with relief from some and sparked condemnation from others."Canadians must be assured that their government will not allow them to suffer when parties do not fill their responsibility to them at the bargaining table, especially where worker and community safety is at stake," he said, following a day of key meetings with stakeholders.In a first-ever simultaneous work stoppage, Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) locked out Teamsters Canada rail workers early Thursday morning after months of failed negotiations, where safety issues, wages and what the union called a "forced relocation scheme" for workers were top issues in the talks.The unprecedented labour dispute snarled supply chains and complicated commutes for thousands across Canada.Contract talks continued as picket lines went up, demonstrators marched in front of the rail companies' headquarters in Montreal and Calgary, and thousands of railcars carrying a range of goods sat parked.At the same time, business groups, impacted industry leaders, as well as some premiers pressed the federal government to act given the critical transport lines – when running – carry more than $1 billion worth of goods each day, according to the Railway Association of Canada.As of 4:40 p.m. ET, when MacKinnon announced he'd be stepping in, an agreement between the parties remained "elusive," the minister – just over a month into the job – told reporters."Collective bargaining negotiations belong to these parties, but their effects and the impacts of the current impasse are being borne by all Canadians," MacKinnon said. "As minister of labour, I'm using my authorities … to secure industrial peace and deliver the short- and long-term solutions that are in the national interest."Work begins to restart railways-It remains unclear when exactly rail operations will resume, though the minister expressed hope it will be within a few days, as the impacts both on the daily lives of millions of Canadians and the economy "cannot be understated."MacKinnon said the lack of clarity is because as an arms-length body, the CIRB now has to consult with the parties involved before rendering a decision on next steps."Obviously, I'm acting at a very early stage here and hoping they will act with similar dispatch … but again, I want to be deferential to the process that will unfold here," he said.In response to the federal government forcing arbitration, CN ended its lockout and said in a statement that it is now working on a "recovery plan," as the company is "satisfied that this labour conflict has ended."CPKC is "preparing to restart railway operations," but won't reveal further details on timing, until it receives the CIRB order. "We regret that the government had to intervene because we fundamentally believe in and respect collective bargaining; however, given the stakes for all involved, this situation required action," CPKC president and CEO Keith Creel said in a statement.Both railways had called for binding arbitration, a move the union rebuffed.Teamsters Canada said it will also be reviewing the minister's referral and the CIRB response, but that "picket lines remain in place."The union said it is "deeply disappointed by this shameful decision," and accused the Liberals of resorting to binding arbitration because they couldn't garner enough support for a legislated resolution."The government has allowed CN and CPKC to sidestep a union determined to protect rail safety. Despite claiming to value and honour the collective bargaining process, the federal government quickly used its authority to suspend it, mere hours after an employer-imposed work stoppage," a statement from Teamsters Canada said.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had hinted earlier that the federal government would come forward with actions before the end of the day "to make sure that the right solution is found quickly for the economy.""We're taking it so seriously. The minister is engaged directly. We are not taking this lightly, obviously, because Canadians across the country are worried about it," Trudeau said Thursday in Sherbrooke, Que., in front of a manufacturer that would have been impacted if the shutdown continued much longer."Collective bargaining is always the best way forward. When that is no longer a foreseeable option – when we are facing serious consequences to our supply chains and the workers who depend on it – governments must act," Trudeau posted online after his minister took action.Heading into crunch time, even with "significant" issues outstanding, MacKinnon said the federal government's position remained that the best outcome would be a negotiated agreement reached at the bargaining table.Asked why the government took the arbitration route now, rather than last week to avoid any economic harm, the minister said he wanted to give all parties the chance to come to a deal on their own.Singh calls Liberal move 'cowardly'Avoiding back-to-work legislation for now means the federal government won't have to recall Parliament and can pause on considering where it would secure political support to pass such a bill.NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh reiterated Thursday his party's long-standing opposition to back-to-work legislation.Appearing alongside some of the 9,300 engineers, conductors and yard workers who were locked out, Singh said he didn't want to see any federal interference.It didn't take long for Singh – whose party continues to help prop up Trudeau's minority – to slam the Liberals' decision."Justin Trudeau has just sent a message to CN, CPKC and all big corporations—being a bad boss pays off. The Liberals' actions are cowardly, anti-worker and proof that they will always cave to corporate greed, and Canadians will always pay for it," he said in a statement.While the Bloc Quebecois was noncommittal on what the federal government should do, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who is trying to court working-class voters – and backed the Liberals' recent anti-scab law – has avoided commenting on the situation.Ahead of MacKinnon's announcement, former Conservative labour minister Lisa Raitt said the federal Conservatives didn't need to weigh in until the federal government announced its next steps.Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe applauded the federal government for acting, saying that the move will "ensure our Canadian products are moving to market again. "Echoing this, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith called for operations to resume "immediately," as "each day this disruption continues will have costly impacts on our economy, workers, businesses, families and farmers."The federal government also announced Thursday plans to dig into the root causes behind the work stoppage."It is the government's responsibility to ensure industrial peace in this critically vital sector," MacKinnon said. "Thus, we will be examining why we experience repeated conflicts in the railway sector and the conditions that led to the parallel work stoppages we are seeing."U.S. counterparts say 'huge relief'-U.S. lawmakers were closely watching the work stoppage on this side of the border, given the impacts to routes linking their goods across the continent.Downplaying the pressure he faced from his American counterparts and business leaders, MacKinnon said the conversations he had in the lead-up to forcing the parties to iron out a deal were "very helpful.""I would categorize it, or characterize it, as helpful advice, understanding, and those relationships are extremely strong and I know the government is very grateful for them," he said.Speaking to CTV News Chief Political Correspondent Vassy Kapelos at the Democratic National Convention in Chigaco ahead of the Canadian government's announcement, U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens from the key border state of Michigan said the rail stoppage was "significant" every minute it went on.Later, her colleague Congressman Dan Kildee expressed relief that the rail stoppage was on its way to being resolved."It's a huge relief. I mean, our supply chain relies on the rail sector, and in Michigan in particular... We've been through this ourselves," Kildee said. "We're glad that at least for the time being, things have settled. We hope there's a permanent solution."

Banks are moving to freeze accounts linked to convoy protests. Here's what you need to know-Emergencies Act directs financial institutions to cut ties with some people-John Paul Tasker · CBC News · Posted: Feb 16, 2022 3:50 PM EST | Last Updated: February 17, 2022

Using powers granted under the Emergencies Act, the federal government has directed banks and other financial institutions to stop doing business with people associated with the anti-vaccine mandate convoy occupying the nation's capital.According to the regulations published late Tuesday, financial institutions are required to monitor and halt all transactions that funnel money to demonstrators — a measure designed to cut off funding to a well-financed protest that has taken over large swaths of Ottawa's downtown core.What new powers do the banks have under the Emergencies Act? The government's new directive, called the "emergency economic measures order," goes beyond asking banks to simply stop transferring funds to protest organizers. The government wants banks to stop doing business with some people altogether.The order says that banks and other financial entities (like credit unions, co-ops, loan companies, trusts and cryptocurrency platforms) must stop "providing any financial or related services" to people associated with the protests — a move that will result in frozen accounts, stranded money and cancelled credit cards.The government is also ordering insurance companies to suspend policies on vehicles that are part of an unlawful "public assembly."These financial institutions can't handle cash, issue a loan, extend a mortgage or more generally facilitate "any transaction" of a "designated person" while the Emergencies Act is in place.The regulations define a "designated person" who can be cut off from financial services as someone who is "directly or indirectly" participating in a "public assembly that may reasonably be expected to lead to a breach of the peace," or a person engaging in "serious interference with trade" or "critical infrastructure."Banks also are required to "disclose without delay" the "existence of property in their possession or control" or "any information about a transaction or proposed transaction" related to a "designated person" to both the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)."Those authorities are now in force and they're being used," said Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino. "It's incredibly important that we follow the money."What does this mean for convoy donors? There are questions about how widely this policy will be applied — whether, for example, the thousands of donors to the GoFundMe and GiveSendGo fundraising campaigns in support of this anti-mandate movement are also considered "designated persons" under the law.The regulation's definition of a "designated person" also includes people who "provide property to facilitate or participate in any assembly." In other words, under these regulations, anyone sending funds to support these protests could be facing a shaky financial future.A senior government official, speaking to reporters at a technical briefing on the Emergencies Act, said these measures are designed to target "key sources of funding."A CBC News analysis of hacked data about those who donated to the protest convoys through GiveSendGo found more than half of the donations came from the U.S. It’s raising concern about foreign funding of political activity."The economic order does require financial service providers to do some due diligence around the property they own of entities and individuals involved in the illegal protests," the official said."I think it makes sense to focus first on key issues and key sources of funding. I think that's certainly the intent of the order — to ensure that funding is limited."The Emergencies Act and its associated regulations are in effect for only 30 days; that period could be shorter if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet revoke it or if Parliament scuttles it after a vote. But a senior government official said there could be long-term implications."For the most part, financial institutions can decide who they do business with and they may decide to cease offering financial services," the official said.Mark Blumberg is a lawyer at Blumberg Segal LLP who specializes in non-profit and charity law. In an interview, he said that while the Emergencies Act gives banks time-limited powers, these institutions "may just decide to shut the person's account down" because there could be "huge risks" for banks servicing these customers in the future.How will this 'de-banking' process play out? Under the regulations, the banks have a "duty to determine" who among their customers is considered a "designated person" who should be denied financial services. The regulations stipulate it is up to the banks to "determine on a continuing basis whether they are in possession or control of property that is owned, held or controlled by or on behalf of a designated person."Banks will be working with law enforcement to decide who should be "de-banked."A senior government official said "information will flow back and forth" between the RCMP and the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), the government's financial intelligence unit.Police could gather the names and licence plate numbers of people participating in a protest or an unlawful assembly and share that information with FINTRAC, the official said.A spokesperson for the Canadian Bankers Association, the industry group that represents 60 domestic and foreign banks, said its members will "follow all applicable laws and regulations" but it doesn't anticipate too much disruption."All financial service providers, including banks, covered by the federal Emergencies Act will need to diligently implement the required measures, as stipulated by the government in the corresponding emergency economic measures order, which are not expected to impact the vast majority of customers," the spokesperson said."Short term, freezing or seizing funds associated with the convoy isn't likely to have an immediate impact," said former CSIS senior strategic analyst Jessica Davis. "Over the medium term, I would say that this is probably more likely to put a lot of financial pressure on the people who are participating in the protest. They aren't going to be able to do things like pay bills, pay their hotel bills - they will eventually run out of supplies as well."What impact could these measures have on the Ottawa occupation? Jessica Davis, president of Insight Threat Intelligence and a former CSIS strategic analyst, said these measures are likely to put "a lot of financial pressure" on the people organizing this protest.With access to bank accounts and credit cards and other financial instruments suspended, protesters won't be able to pay for things like hotel and fuel bills and the costs associated with their street parties and other activities.Because the organizers of this protest have been so public about their participation on social media, "banks won't have a hard time identifying who these people are," Davis said."These measures will have an immediate financial impact," she said.Protesters cook breakfast and give out snacks and drinks at the corner of Slater and Bank streets as the convoy protest against COVID-19 restrictions continues. (Justin Tang/The Canadian Press)-Over the longer term, Davis said, it may be hard for some of the truckers participating to ever find work again because they could lack the necessary insurance to operate a big rig."Paying bills, paying rent and any kind of day-to-day financial transaction can be stopped for people who are part of the protest movement," she said.There may also be some "unintended consequences" from frozen accounts, such as suspended alimony and child support payments, Davis said. "It's going to be very difficult for them."While these measures might help to bust up a protest that has severely disrupted the nation's capital, Davis said they could also further "radicalize" a group that is already concerned about government overreach."This will further entrench their ideas and their mindset," she said.Are there any legal implications for the banks? Banks have been granted immunity against legal action in the event of disputes over whether someone should have been denied financial services."No proceedings under the Emergencies Act and no civil proceedings lie against an entity for complying with this Order," the regulations read.
