The Deputy Minister literally said "yes, that can happen under the powers of the Emergency Act".
Yet you skip over to the "well, I see no proof someone was affected so what's the big deal?"
I'm horrified by the fact it could even happen at all. That the government had the power to arbitrarily freeze someone's bank account with nothing more than a note from the RCMP. No evidence, no presumption of innocence, no right to argue in front of a judge.
Why aren't you horrified? Because it didn't affect you?
Next time it could be you.

- defrost 4y agoDo you have an actual example of an actual person that this actually happened to? Someone that had their account frozen for no other reason than they donated a few bucks from afar?
- refurb 4y agoYou’re missing the forest for the trees. The government had the power to do it. No trial, no evidence, nothing but the police putting you on a list (as per the Deputy Minister of Finance). That alone should scare you.
