Canadian gov't: Hamas, Hezbollah fundraising in country, incl. Hezbollah trading cars, drugs

Hamas and Hezbollah are receiving funds from sources in Canada, according to a Canadian Finance Department report that came out late last month, with Hezbollah the second most identified terrorist organization to receive funds from the country.

The 2025 Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risks in Canada detailed the vulnerabilities and risks in Canada’s anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing legal regime, noting that while the system was comprehensive, Canada’s open and stable economy made it an attractive target for organized crime and third-party enablers.

Some of these Canadian vulnerabilities were exploited by Hamas and Hezbollah, which both fundraised through a variety of methods, including abuse of the banking sectors, money services businesses, cryptocurrencies, charities, non-profit organizations, and criminal activity.

protect Hamas, buy luxury real estate in Qatar for the leaders who are billionaires, but nothing for the regular people on the ground in Gaza. Plus they knew if they did Oct 7th attack there would be a war on their people but Hamas, who mattered to them, would be protected.
