"More than 200 bank accounts worth nearly $8 million were frozen when the federal government used emergency powers to end a massive protest occupation of downtown Ottawa."
- Nursie 5y agoThose bank accounts belonged to protesting truck owners, not just donors, it’s right there in the article you linked. The donated funds in the receiving accounts were frozen, temporarily, as part of the effort to end the situation, sure. But not donor accounts simply for having made the donation, as was implied in the above post. Your article does say “Some Conservative MPs have said constituents have reported that their bank accounts were frozen after they made donations”, but if you look further into that it seems to have been one MP talking about one constituent, and that doesn’t seem to be verifiable.
