"This was not out of the ordinary, but during his speech, he lashed out against Bitcoin Cash."

"Trashing another cryptocurrency in front of a parliamentary committee was a brazen move. Without a doubt, it received a bit of controversy on the internet. Whether you agree with his stance or not, it does not leave a good impression on cryptocurrencies to the Canadian government.
Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash have always had disputes, and this is one example of it. Bitcoin fans claim that Bitcoin Cash stole the branding of Bitcoin, so they call Bitcoin Cash, BCash instead. BCash limits the connection to the original Bitcoin brand. Note that Jonathan Hamel adopted this terminology in his remarks as well.
In response, Bitcoin Cash fans have called Bitcoin, Bitcoin Core.
The civil war between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash isn’t quite over, as these latest developments suggest."
