The Canadian federal government is now regulating crowdfunding platforms and cryptocurrencies under the Terrorist Financing Act, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced on Monday.

Freeland announced the measures at a press conference, shortly after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared a state of emergency due to the ongoing protests against COVID-19 mandates and restrictions by truckers and their supporters.
