The Victorian government who have been making plans for years:

The 20-Minute Neighbourhood

In August 2019, the ‘Creating a More Liveable Melbourne’ 20-minute neighbourhoods report was released. The report was developed based on the outcomes from the 2018 20-minute neighbourhood pilot program. It details the benefits of creating walkable 20-minute neighbourhoods, along with key findings and recommendations. It establishes a ‘roadmap’ for government to deliver 20-minute neighbourhoods.

Credit union called police on Canadian for ‘liking’ Freedom Convoy on Facebook

A new report shows that a large Canadian credit union reported to the police one of its customers who “liked” the Freedom Convoy Facebook page and proceeded to monitor his financial transactions.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, recently released records show that on February 15 of this year, Assiniboine Credit Union in Winnipeg, Manitoba, reported one of its users to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) because he had “liked” the Freedom Convoy Facebook page, telling the federal police he is “potentially involved” in the protest.

The report to the RCMP came the day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau enacted the Emergencies Act (EA) to shut down the protest, wherein the government gave banks and financial institutions the power to freeze suspected Freedom Convoy donors’ accounts without a court order.

Assiniboine went as far as having its staff members monitor the man’s social media posts, as well as comb through his checking account transactions.

Management at Assiniboine noted that before the EA was enacted, “account activity was being monitored but not deemed illegal.”

Police noted in a memo that same day that the credit union member in question was a “well known anti-vax” person, suggesting the tip from the credit union was followed up on.

In another instance of financial institutions using the EA as a reason to go after their customers, the same report shows that an unnamed Canadian bank had also reported to police one of its credit card users who had allegedly purchased a gas mask from an army surplus store.

Etc .........
