As Canadian plebs we CAN make a difference. Contact your MP, MLA/MPP, city councillor. Put Bitcoin and the nostr:nprofile1qqsf2af7nuppxzhjudpplvt73upag3wrx4xlf8gefyjzegckl9v87mgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46qsyampj'S four policy recommendations on their radar!
🇨🇦 CALL TO ACTION: Email or call your Member of Parliament (MP). Ask them what their position is on BCC's four federal policy recommendations: bit.ly/42i6FfN

Government-issued money (CAD, USD, Euro, and others) as well as traditional financial institutions (eg, banks) can and will be weaponized by governments across the political spectrum. Bitcoin (BTC) is a censorship-resistant, decentralized, global network and money that enables individuals and groups to resist censorship and oppression. Bitcoin (BTC) is resistance money. Bitcoin (BTC) is for everyone.
A key part of our role is to help policymakers understand Bitcoin and to help move us toward sound public policy with Bitcoin as a tool for social and economic development. However, our #1 priority remains grassroots adoption and use of Bitcoin across Canada 🇨🇦 by individuals, families, and small businesses. Please follow us and help us raise our visibility so that we can accelerate this mission. Let’s get after it!
BREAKING: The Bitcoin Coalition of Canada has written to all Canadian Members of Parliament and Senators asking them to indicate “Support”, “Opposed” or “Undecided” on each of our 4 federal policy recommendations. We will report on results in April 2025.
1️⃣ Implement a de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin transactions under $10,000 CAD and commit to a more detailed study of how best to facilitate Bitcoin’s use as currency in Canada.
2️⃣ Eliminate capital gains tax on Bitcoin (BTC) held for more than one year.
3️⃣ Provide incentive support and remove regulatory red-tape to scale up Bitcoin mining in Canada.
4️⃣ Establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) for Canada, with the goal of securing 100,000 BTC over four years beginning in 2025.
