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.

All payment methods should comply with anti money laundering, terrorism financing and sanctions laws
@B2KH6TK2wks2W
I can understand restrictions on sending money to some countries, but at the same time must find a way for citizens to send money to their families in these countries.
@B2GG52P3wks3W
No, the government should not ban this, however, if found to be circumventing international sanctions or supporting terror, they should be tried in court and held accountable for their actions.
@B2CGY6T4wks4W
Family in other countries should ask for help in their own country or come to canada it is none of our business what they do on the other side of the world.
@B24CNGL2mos2MO
Maybe, The Citizen should have to provide reasoning to why they are sending the money (such as poverty)
@B23882N2mos2MO
We should make it an offense to send money to sanctioned countries, but we shouldn't ban cross border payment methods. The government cannot be trusted.
@9X56Y5B3mos3MO
