 Starting to think it’s not a coincidence that many nostr devs are Canadian and Brazilian. https://i.nostr.build/KGMV3.jpg  
 Anyone have a link reporting the frozen account shenanigans? 
 Nah, ment to be like a lot of things. 
 Personally I think it's because Canadians are so handsome, and there is a correlation between handsomeness and freedom tech development  
 australian here... maybe i'm super sensitive but economic freedom was gone 20 years ago there... and israel and aust are much the same, btw 
 this is why i never bothered to get an aust passport after i had it stolen in NZ back in 2004

i literally left australia just with a NL passport, and had a short convo with the border guards and they were like "oh yes, this location on your dutch passport is australia"

was so glad to get away, thanks for reminding me how great it was 
 What’s happening in Brazil??? 
 We have two sides in the same situation, Elon Musk interested in natural resources in our country fighting with an authoritarian and abusive minister, who censors people and networks according to his own interest. 
 😞😞😞😞 
 When are we going to protest against the governments of the world who are trying to destroy us? 
 I’m sure it will happen once their fiat scam collapses 
 have you spoken to Jack Patrick Dorsey? 
 Son of Castro is coming for you 😂😂 
 This is a lie. Nothing has fallen. There's a campaign happening on X to harm Brazil's economy. Elon Musk has a hidden agenda and his only concern is to save himself from the bankruptcy of Tesla. It's coming.  
 comparing Canada and Brazil on financial censorship is a bit of a stretch.  They did one screwup with some temporary freezing on some people's bank account but there is more to it than that.

Was it wrong to freeze the bank accounts?  Yes, but lets not forget operation chokepoint in Murica and their far more financial censorship than we have seen in the great white north. 
 Not a coincidence at all

 Imagine a social media protocol that functions in an open, decentralized way, immune to censorship. Unlike being under corporate control, this protocol is owned by the users themselves. It empowers you to customize your interactions based on your preferences, utilizing different clients like #Amethyst, #Primal and #Damus. Also, it seamlessly integrates with #bitcoin, allowing you to support your favorite creators using a reliable, hard currency. This remarkable protocol is called #Nostr. 🧡 nostr:nevent1qqsqjtsuu3r8c8yk7rlx9enqmpklq2cfl897k0at3r5tuz3xpzww59spzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsygpjuxp8vd29p6ancknaztql3eajk52y8xkppfn7au7elkw9c68zg5psgqqqqqqs8aq6kt

According to this source it seems to be just the former president and a few of his henchmen. 
 Brazil is a Judiciary dictatorshi. 
 The Judiciary Dictatorship has more than 2 thousand political prisoners. 
 You’re not wrong 
 When did Canada seize passports and bank accounts of journalists? 🙄 
 Things in Canada are beyond awful, and getting worse by the day. Health Canada (run by a CCP member) is MAID-ing people with depression, vaxx injuries, and bed-sores acquired while waiting in corridors of the ER. Even small towns are overrun with zombified Fentynal addicts courtesy of 'safe supply' which is also supplying to kids. Thought Crime laws are being introduced. Doctors still not allowed to practice for being unvaxxed or advocating Ivermectin.

The country will be a withering husk by the time the next election comes around. We urgently need an a campaign to pump the profile and poll numbers of the Conservative Burnaby South candidate in order to panic Jagmeet into pulling the Confidence & Supply agreement early [for fear of loosing his seat if he waits until the election].
