Canadian Armed Forces veteran and host of the Raging Dissident podcast Jeremy MacKenzie has been de-banked by Scotiabank without any explanation.
Mackenzie, a vocal critic of Canadian COVID-19 mandates and woke madness, was informed that he was outside of Scotiabank’s “risk appetite,” by a bank employee in a so-called ‘courtesy heads up phone call.’
BANKING ON CANCEL CULTURE
In the shocking Kafkaesque phone call, recorded by MacKenzie and later shared by YouTuber Greg Wycliffe, the bank employee explains the decision to de-bank MacKenzie was made at Scotiabank’s head office. The informant then went on to say that he didn’t have any information on who actually made the call to cancel Mackenzie as a customer.
“Why would anyone want to be accountable for anything, that would be foolish,” responded MacKenzie.
The military veteran was told he cannot enter any Scotiabank and must ask for ‘written consent and receive permission’ if he wishes to do so. Mackenzie was then told to email his branch if he needs to sort out his accounts.
SOCIAL CREDIT CHEQUING ACCOUNT
For the last several years, MacKenzie has been smeared as being the leader of a ‘far-right accelerationist group’ by the mainstream media and its repeaters, like over-the-hill TikTok talking head Rachel Gilmore. The ridiculous charge had Mackenzies’ fictional meme country ‘Diagalon’ unofficially labeled a terrorist movement by members of Canada’s ruling Liberal political party.
In fact, Canadian Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino alluded to the pretend joke country as a reason to invoke the Emergencies Act. “There is an ideologically-motivated operation that we see in the rhetoric here that is meant to incite,” he claimed in response to the government panicking over the peaceful protest against unlawful government restrictions in response to the so-called COVID-19 pandemic, last year in Ottawa.
The invocation of temporary martial law by the Justin Trudeau government saw peaceful protesters forcibly arrested, had their vehicles impounded, and, in a Chinese social credit style display of power, their bank accounts frozen by the out-of-control Liberal government.
MacKenzie, who resides in Nova Scotia, Canada, is currently on bail after he was arrested last fall following an anti-mask protest. He denies all allegations, which have yet to be tried in court.
FIRING BLANKS AT BAD GOVERNMENT ACTORS
Despite the shocking and bizarre phone call, the former soldier held his temper and did not shoot the messenger, remaining polite and characteristically sardonic throughout the conversation.
The employee offered the solution of ’email’ if there was anything he felt he needed to do in person. To which MacKenzie replied: “Well, uh, I might need to sue them because I feel this is predatory, this is discriminatory because of my legal situation.”
HE WHO LAUGHS LAST…
In the closing moments of the Orwellian phone call, MacKenzie, with perfect comedic timing, asks if Scotiabanks letter officially de-banking him will come with any pamphlets from the government regarding MAID.
“I just didn’t know if there was a partnership regarding medical assistance in dying.”
