> In Canada, we just went through a 10-day period where, in an afternoon, the government casually made it retroactively illegal to have supported a peaceful cause -- and began locking up peaceful, law-abiding citizens' bank accounts. No donor accounts were frozen according to the RCMP. And no verifiable information proving otherwise has arisen (tweets are not verifiable info). There were around 210 accounts frozen, belonging to less than 200 people. The majority of which were unfrozen after less than a week. The accounts belonged to those that were organizing or materially supporting a protest that had been deemed unlawful, or participating unlawfully in that protest. In other words the Canadian government briefly seized accounts that were being used to support a protest that was judged at least partially illegal by the courts system. Those affected by seizure are now allowed to request compensation under the same law that was used to seize the accounts. https://thehill.com/policy/international/595526-freeze-lifted-on-bank-accounts-linked-to-canada-protests https://thehill.com/policy/international/595526-freeze-lifte...
