Not refuting it at all, just find it hard to see the relevance to the thread.

I would imagine that the funds that Canada froze in a unique situation are a rounding error compared to the funds some random US state seizes in a year.

Whatever their flaws so many other countries including Canada are so much better at this thing than the United States.

This is whataboutism. Both are bad, so where's your argument?

And this is relevant precisely because it's an example that shows the lack of financial liberty, that you could fall prey to in Canada. I thought it's a fitting answer to the parent comment.

No, its not whataboutism, because corruption in America is literally the subject that we're discussing.

How many people were affected by this issue? Again, it's a rounding eror compared to the number of people who are affected the corrupt practice of civil forfeiture.

These things are night and day different. A one off event compared to a systemic issue.
