Francis Pouliot has a warning for Bitcoiners: You are not safe.A French tax official used government software to sell Bitcoiners' home addresses to kidnapping gangs. Meanwhile, a Quebec political party just voted to eliminate all Bitcoin taxes — and they're polling at 17%. Francis Pouliot, CEO of Bull Bitcoin, joins CBP from the Bitcoin Jungle in Costa Rica and doesn't hold back.🏛️ THE GOVERNMENT IS SELLING YOUR ADDRESS — A convicted French tax official used internal "Mira" tax software to compile profiles on Bitcoin holders and sold their home addresses to organized crime rings. The result: 65 documented Bitcoin kidnappings in 2025 alone, averaging more than one per week. Francis has been tracking this crisis from the inside — and says it's coming here.⚖️ QUEBEC'S HISTORIC BITCOIN TAX POLICY — The Conservative Party of Quebec officially passed a resolution: no capital gains on Bitcoin, no reporting requirements, no mining restrictions. They're polling at 17% with a path to 17 seats. Francis breaks down why this might be the most consequential Bitcoin policy development in Canadian politics — and why no one's covering it.🛡️ SHOULD BITCOINERS GO NIM? — Rodolfo Novak of CoinKite has gone fully offline. No photos, no camera, no public face. Francis — who says he's "completely screwed" because he went public too early — explains the real calculus behind Bitcoin OPSEC in 2026 and why he still can't walk a beach in Costa Rica without being recognized.🌎 SHOULD YOU LEAVE CANADA? — Joey and Francis get into the real expat conversation: Bitcoin Jungle, Costa Rica, homeschooling co-ops, and whether staying in Canada to fight the rot makes any sense when the tree is already falling on your house.🇶🇨 QUEBEC SEPARATION AS ACCELERATIONISM — Francis argues that a Quebec economic collapse following separation would be a feature, not a bug. The Argentina model. The Milei moment. A trad renaissance out of the rubble. He's not joking.🎨 AESTHETICS IS UPSTREAM FROM ETHICS — Why the right reclaimed culture through tradwives, bodybuilding, and homeschooling. Why Antifa went from cool to cringe. And what Nouvelle Alliance's visual branding can teach the Alberta separatist movement.🧬 THE GREAT MAN PROBLEM — The state is designed to prevent a great man from rising. Francis and Joey debate whether the leaders of the next cultural shift are already born — and why the most capable men have already checked out.🔔 Subscribe for weekly Bitcoin, economics, and Canadian politics coverage that doesn't pull punches.🟠 Buy Bitcoin with Bull Bitcoin → app.bullbitcoin.com/registration/cbp💬 Join the community → https://discord.com/invite/YgPJVbGCZX🐦 Follow on X → @CanadianbtcpodSponsors:easyDNShttps://easydns.comAnycast DNS, domain registration, web & email services — fast, reliable, privacy-focused.Pay with Bitcoin.Use coupon code CBPMEDIA for 50% off your first purchase.Bull Bitcoinhttps://mission.bullbitcoin.com/cbpThe CBP recommends Bull Bitcoin for buying Bitcoin simply and securely.Use the link above for 25% off fees for life.256Heathttps://256heat.com/Heat your home, garage, or office while earning more Bitcoin than it costs to run.Book a call with a hashrate heating consultant today.#Bitcoin #CanadianBitcoiners #FrancisPouliot #BullBitcoin #BitcoinCanada #QuebecBitcoin #BitcoinOPSEC #CanadianPolitics #SoundMoney #BitcoinSovereignty

Canada processes MAID applications same-day. The median wait for surgery is 28.6 weeks. This isn't broken — this is the system working as designed.In this episode:⚡ CANADA & MAID — A disabled man is pursuing medically assisted death to avoid homelessness. Not terminal. Not mentally ill. Just afraid of being on the street. We break down the same-day MAID protocol, 76,475 deaths since 2016, and what it tells you about Canadian governance.🛢️ OIL SHOCK — The Strait of Hormuz closed for the first time in history. WTI hit $119 overnight. Iraq's southern oilfields lost 70% of production in a week. The G7 met and decided they "weren't ready yet" to act. What this means for Canada, the Bank of Canada's impossible position, and why stagflation is Bitcoin's best argument.🏦 KRAKEN JOINS THE FED — After 5.5 years, Kraken became the first crypto company in history to access Federal Reserve payment rails. Direct Fedwire settlement. No correspondent banks. Vancouver, meanwhile, killed its Bitcoin-friendly city motion because a 1953 provincial law says municipalities can only hold government bonds. One country is building the future of money. The other is watching.📉 MARA & CORE SCIENTIFIC — MARA Holdings quietly updated its 10-K to allow selling its entire 53,822 BTC treasury. Not just mined coins — the whole stack. Core Scientific sold 1,900 BTC, announced it's exiting Bitcoin mining entirely, and took a $1B loan from Morgan Stanley to pivot to AI.🍞 CANADA'S FOOD CRISIS — 60% of Canadians skipped meals or reduced portions in the past six months. Over half used credit cards or payday loans to buy groceries. This is not a developing nation. This is Canada in 2026.🌎 ALSO THIS WEEK — Paraguay mining Bitcoin with 30,000 confiscated ASICs powered by the Itaipu Dam. Bank of Canada runs Canada's first tokenized bond trial with RBC and TD. And what the $25M scholarship program for Indian students says about Canada-India relations.─────────────────────────🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss next week🐦 Follow us on X: @CanadianBTCPod📩 Newsletter: CanadianBitcoiners.com─────────────────────────#Bitcoin #Canada #MacroEconomics #BitcoinCanada #OilPrices #MAID #Inflation #CanadianBitcoiners #Kraken #BankOfCanada #FinancialFreedom #SoundMoney #CBP
