🚨Canada's largest banks are all offline. Royal Bank, BMO Bank of Montreal, CIBC Bank. Did Trudeau try to hack into their databases? Did the U.S. hack them first, to stop it? What could cause all three to crash on the same day -- hours after Trudeau's expropriation order?

"Canada's largest banks are all offline," Rebel News editor Ezra Levant reported. "Royal Bank, BMO Bank of Montreal, CIBC Bank."

"Did Trudeau try to hack into their databases?" Levant asked. "Did the U.S. hack them first, to stop it? What could cause all three to crash on the same day -- hours after Trudeau's expropriation order?"

TD Canada Trust and Scotiabank were also reported to be "offline."

BANK Outages at all big 5 banks! It’s happening. Trudeau has crushed consumer confidence in the banks in less than 48 hours. Some ATMs are still allowing cash to be pulled out but going empty. The bank has now locked up EVERYONES funds! 🇨🇦 🔔
