Cross-border payment methods, such as cryptocurrencies, allow individuals to transfer money internationally, often bypassing traditional banking systems. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions countries for various political and security reasons, restricting financial transactions with these nations. Proponents argue that such a ban prevents financial support to regimes considered hostile or dangerous, ensuring compliance with international sanctions and national security policies. Opponents argue that it restricts humanitarian aid to families in need, infringes on personal freedoms, and that cryptocurrencies can provide a lifeline in crisis situations.

If they were closely monitored for criminal use, yes
@9T64K8R2wks2W
No, but they should be heavily monitored and the government should be able to control it.
@9SW5R6B 3wks3W
No, but the money must be monitored to ensure it doesn't fund nefarious behaviour.
@9RZPX672mos2MO
if youre going to allow immigration at the levels youve introduced, let them send money where they need to
@9QZCYDN2mos2MO
Yes but they would have to ensure that the money isn't going to the government or to terrorists, and since that's hard to do most of the time it should be a no
@9Q6SZXN3mos3MO
I think it should be heavily secured but I don't think it should be banned.
@9RBVFQQ2mos2MO
Yes, but I see no feasible method in which they could.
@9QZGVST2mos2MO
No, but authorities should be able to get a warrant to trace these transactions to the recipient if they have probable cause that they are being used to fund terrorism or undermine Canadian sovereignty or national security.
