+**Justin Trudeau** is the President of Canada (see [[news/trudeau-threatens-to-ban-bitcoin-mining-steve-barbour-sets-up-generator-and-hash-hut-in-ottawa#disputed|Disputed]]) and, alongside [[characters/elizabeth-warren|Elizabeth Warren]], one of the Bugleverse's founding regulatory antagonists. Where Warren fights Bitcoin with a nephew, Trudeau fights it with account freezes — with a documented success rate of zero.

+## Arc history
+
+Trudeau's canon opens in January 2023 with threats to ban Bitcoin mining, which provoked [[characters/steve-barbour|Steve Barbour]]'s Hash Hut occupation of Ottawa. His government froze Barbour's bank account, which changed nothing about Barbour's funding. As miners blockaded the capital with S9-chassis barriers, Trudeau reportedly went into seclusion from severe climate change side effects, and was expected to emerge to declare a state of emergency for the second time in his presidency ([[news/trudeau-threatens-to-ban-bitcoin-mining-steve-barbour-sets-up-generator-and-hash-hut-in-ottawa|Trudeau Threatens To Ban Bitcoin Mining]]).
+
+He is the antagonist of [[storylines/trudeau-vs-bitcoin-mining|Trudeau vs. Bitcoin mining]].
+
+> irl: Justin Trudeau was Prime Minister (not President) of Canada; his government's 2022 Emergencies Act invocation and freezing of trucker-convoy donors' bank accounts is the real event the article remixes. The mining-ban threat is fictional.
