Should the government ban its citizens from using cross-border payment methods (like crypto) to send money to relatives in OFAC sanctioned countries (Palestine, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, and North Korea)?

Yes

No, but instate limits to how much can be sent annually and more closely monitor transactions to sanctioned countries

If the family member(s) the citizens are sending money to are in no way related to or have any affiliation with problematic bodies in those countries, then people should be able to support their relatives.

I can understand restrictions on sending money to some countries, but at the same time must find a way for citizens to send money to their families in these countries.

No, the government should not ban this, however, if found to be circumventing international sanctions or supporting terror, they should be tried in court and held accountable for their actions.

Family in other countries should ask for help in their own country or come to canada it is none of our business what they do on the other side of the world.

Maybe, The Citizen should have to provide reasoning to why they are sending the money (such as poverty)

We should make it an offense to send money to sanctioned countries, but we shouldn't ban cross border payment methods. The government cannot be trusted.

cause this people they just want to send money to their love ones,but i think think countries should make a legal payment methods to the people that just want to send money to their love ones.

Yes, but make it simple to send it through your regular banking

Don't ban, but put regulations or surveillance on these type of transactions.

Only if the family is needing the funds to flee the country

Not ban but certainly safe guards should be in place to ensure the funds are not for war/terrorist activities.

If they were closely monitored for criminal use, yes

No, but they should be heavily monitored and the government should be able to control it.

Yes but they would have to ensure that the money isn't going to the government or to terrorists, and since that's hard to do most of the time it should be a no

I think it should be heavily secured but I don't think it should be banned.

yes but make it regulated to make sure they're not giving money illegaly to criminals in other countries.

All payment methods should comply with anti money laundering, terrorism financing and sanctions laws

No, because those people are supporting their families. However, there should still be a restriction on who they send it to.

Yes but the there should be a policing system that heavily monitors transfer activity that tracks funds

To ban/limit a citizens right to utilize their money/property is wrong but it should be monitored/regulated and/or taxed.

Yes. Only if they are expected to use that money for illegal activities.

No, but the money must be monitored to ensure it doesn't fund nefarious behaviour.

if youre going to allow immigration at the levels youve introduced, let them send money where they need to

Yes, but I see no feasible method in which they could.

No, but authorities should be able to get a warrant to trace these transactions to the recipient if they have probable cause that they are being used to fund terrorism or undermine Canadian sovereignty or national security.

This question is too vague to provide a definitive argument of either opposition or support.

We need to strive for a unified unit of currency for the planet.

I think they should be allowed to send money because some ppl are poor

While there are security and legal concerns related to sanctions, a blanket ban may unfairly impact individuals with legitimate family or humanitarian needs. Policies should be designed to balance national security with humanitarian exceptions, ensuring people are not cut off from supporting their loved ones.

no, but it should be heavily regulated to make sure its going to the right people for the right things and not used to fuel fraud, laundering, and supporting crimes

Do you believe there should be exceptions to financial restrictions when humanitarian aid is at stake, or are these rules too important to bend?

How would you feel if international sanctions meant you couldn’t financially support family members in another country, even during a crisis?

This is not of importance to me as i remain politically neutral

Do you think being able to send money across borders without using banks gives more freedom to the average person, or does it create more risks?

In your opinion, should governments restrict financial transactions with certain countries if it affects innocent people trying to survive?

Have you ever thought about how international money transfers impact people’s freedom to help loved ones across borders?

Can technology like cryptocurrency really solve the struggles people face with traditional banks when transferring money internationally?

How do you think cross-border payment systems should prioritize human rights while still respecting international laws and sanctions?

Is bypassing government restrictions with cryptocurrencies a form of fighting for personal freedom, or does it create new dangers?

How do you balance the need for national security with the ability for families to stay financially connected in countries under sanctions?

Do you think preventing cross-border payments because of security concerns outweighs the personal needs of individuals who are in difficult situations?
