Fantastic work by RCMP officers who seized more than $56 million in cryptocurrency from an unauthorized platform—the largest operation in Canadian history. We’ll combat money laundering even further in Bill C-2, because a secure Canada is a strong Canada.

Commentary on Stance
Add your own commentary on this stanceBack on September 19, 2025, Member of Parliament Ruby Sahota retweeted a post from Gary Sgt. celebrating the seizure of over $56 million in cryptocurrency from what was described as an "unauthorized platform." The original tweet explicitly linked this enforcement action to future anti-money laundering efforts under Bill C-2.
While every legitimate participant in the crypto ecosystem supports stopping criminal activity, this retweet is indicative of a negative stance. The enthusiastic framing reinforces the tired and misleading narrative that crypto is primarily a tool for illicit finance. This perspective ignores the vast majority of legitimate use cases and paints the entire industry with a broad, negative brush.
Furthermore, tying this seizure to upcoming legislation suggests that the proposed rules in Bill C-2 would likely be punitive and create a hostile environment for innovators and everyday users. A focus solely on enforcement, rather than on creating clear, common-sense rules for good actors, often results in overbearing regulations that stifle growth.
By amplifying this specific message, Sahota signals an alignment with the anti-crypto enforcement-first viewpoint. This is why the action receives a score of 25, categorizing it as "Very Against Crypto." It demonstrates a focus on perceived risks over the technology's significant potential benefits.
