IDK, he said the scope is a donation of over $100,000 - so probably zero people should be worried?

I took it to mean if the "movement" (of which you are a member) is donating that much money, but I can see your interpretation as well. It's ambiguous, which is not a good look for an official on such an important topic.

Reasonable people can disagree but I do see what you mean - I thank you for your honest consideration of my opinion, a rare treat!

Subsequent statements and clarifications have made it clear that these donors were not subject to any action, this freaking government.. they just can't quite figure out how to make a clear statement about anything, despite seeming like they are constantly reading talking points - it drives me up the wall.

Well having googled that quote and found nothing by a normal news site I'm not clear why anyone would think the Twitter account you linked to is anything other than pure fiction.

It's a video. Unless you claim the video is somehow deep faked, his words corroborate what the comment says. And if you don't want to trust that, then here's direct link to CTVNews where he says those words at 3:26 mark:

If you listen to the next question, it seems like he was talking about people in the U.S. donating to the movement.

Which is strange if that is the case because they have no jurisdiction to make any kind of veiled threats towards U.S. citizens.

They could ban those donors from ever entering Canada but that's about it. If they successfully pull off equating the truckers with terrorists, then they could request the US extradite them but that's pretty far fetched. Then again, pretty much everything they've done has been far fetched so who knows what they'll try next.

I mean, Canada has jurisdiction over whether or not they can enter Canada, do business in Canada, freeze assets in Canadian banks, etc.

The whole point was controlling points of access for international funds (ie. the GoFundMe, GiveSendGo, crypto).

Why would he be talking about US people? He has zero jurisdiction over that. And even if he were talking about US people, that still wouldn't make such comments okay.

Canadians donate to US protests all the time and vice versa.

Plus, the Deputy Director of Intelligence for Canada's financial intel agency (FINTRAC) said there is no evidence of suspicious transactions around the freedom convoy:

So what exactly is his point?

Of course he has jurisdiction over that - Canadians don’t have jurisdiction over drunk driving in the US, but if you have a DUI you’re going to have a tough time getting into Canada.
