If Bill C-2 passes, it will become a Criminal Code offence for businesses, professionals, and charities to accept cash donations, deposits, or payments of $10,000 or more. Even if the $10,000 payment or donation is broken down into several smaller cash transactions, it will still be a crime for a business or charity to receive it.
This is similar to Quebec's Bill 54, adopted in March 2024, which empowers police to presume that any person carrying $2,000 or more in cash must have obtained it as the proceeds of crime. Police can seize the money, and the citizen must prove his or her innocence to get it back.
It is true that very few Canadians use cash in the amount of $10,000 or more for a single purchase or donation, but once doing so becomes criminal, it’s easy for the federal government to reduce the legal amount to $5,000, then $1,000, then $100, and eventually nothing.
Restricting the use of cash is a dangerous step towards tyranny and totalitarianism. Cash gives citizens privacy, autonomy, and freedom from surveillance by government and by banks, credit card companies, and other corporations. If we cherish our privacy, we need to defend our freedom to choose cash, in the amount of our choosing. This includes, for example, our right to pay $10,000 cash for a car, or to donate $10,000 (or more) to a charity.
Law enforcement already has the tools to fight crime. Perhaps they need a bigger budget to hire more people, or perhaps they need to use existing tools more effectively. In a free society, violating our right to use cash is not the answer.

Mark Zuckerberg reveals he's feeding his cows beer and macadamia nuts
“On the ranch, one of my projects is I'm trying to create the highest quality beef in the world”
“It's very low stakes, I’m not selling it but I'm very into the genetics of the cattle. We're trying to figure out how do you make it so that you basically can deliver the highest density diet to them”
“We started growing macadamia trees because that kind of nut is extremely dense and they will eat a lot so they will put on weight and become fat quicker and become delicious”
“The macadamia nuts have a lot of oil so you need to actually roast that. So now we need to design this whole process to roast the nuts so that way you can give them to the cows”
“You want them to eat more. So then it's like how do you get them to eat more? Well it turns out alcohol is great for that because alcohol induces appetite”
“That's actually why very high-end beef, they're fed beer. But okay, what's the right balance of beer versus water? I don't know. Let's let them choose. They get either as much cold beer as they want or as much room temperature water”
“So now we're brewing all this beer and we're putting it out”

Secretary Lutnick "I reserve the right to reevaluate and adjust the scope of license requirements… should circumstances change.

This is honestly no way to release a model and continued development and release this way is a solid way to salt the ground and kill all innovation by small startups

Semafor is reporting that The US government has lifted its block on Mythos 5 in a letter this afternoon from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to Tom Brown. Fable is not included. This is US only, and covers 100 US institutions, including major companies and government agencies.

Since June 12, we’ve been working closely with the US government to restore access to Claude Mythos 5 and Fable 5. Today, the government notified us that Mythos 5, our strongest cybersecurity model, can be redeployed to a set of US organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure.
We’re restoring access for these organizations quickly, and we’re continuing to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again.

BREAKING NEWS
Looks like Mark Carney has finally done what no Liberal politician has been able to do over the last 11 years - UNITE CANADIANS.
How did Carney do it? He announced a $3.2 Billion bailout for wealthy condo developers (who by the way held fundraisers for Carney and Carney’s Housing Minister).
Nobody sees this bailout as a good decision. Not Canadians, not economists, not investors, not analysts. NOBODY except the person who is supposed to be a world class economist and the condo developers/heavy Liberal supporters he’s bailing out.
