$8M Frozen Under Fed Order

Banks have frozen nearly $8 million in accounts held by Freedom Convoy truckers, the Department of Finance disclosed yesterday. Authorities confirmed even small donations to the convoy, as little as $20, could trigger retribution if cash was contributed after cabinet declared the Freedom Convoy an illegal assembly on February 15: “It could be a savings account, a chequing account, a mortgage.”

Fear Dissent To Cost Dollars

MPs on the Commons finance committee yesterday said they feared cabinet normalized financial retribution against political protesters. An Emergencies Act order allows banks to freeze personal and corporate accounts of Freedom Convoy protesters without a court order or advance notice to account holders: ‘It is like a no-fly list where someone is now asterisked for the rest of their life.’

Says Workers Miss Good Life

Freedom Convoy protests typify the despair of industrial workers “left out of the good life,” Senator Marc Gold (Que.), Government Representative in the Senate, said yesterday.

MPs Declare Nt’l Emergency

The Commons last night by a 185 to 151 vote upheld cabinet’s declaration of a national emergency curbing Freedom Convoy protests against vaccine mandates. The landmark vote, first of its kind, followed 36 hours of debate that saw a minority of MPs including Liberals express unease with use of the Emergencies Act: “This is a slippery slope.”

Protesters Sue For Gov’t Files

A band of Freedom Convoy protesters is in Federal Court demanding cabinet disclose documents justifying Emergencies Act police powers. The crackdown including the freezing of trucking companies’ bank accounts was politically motivated, lawyers wrote the Court: “There is no national emergency.”

Cabinet Defends Bank Freeze

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland yesterday justified a bank freeze against Freedom Convoy protesters as narrow and focused. However one Liberal-appointed senator, a former banker, complained the freeze left protesters without legal fees to defend themselves against police charges: “There seems to be a significant lack of clarity on the parameters used by authorities to come up with this blacklist.”

‘Step Outside And Say That’

Conservative MP Ben Lobb (Huron-Bruce, Ont.) yesterday challenged a parliamentary secretary to step outside after Liberals circulated a purported list of opposition legislators they claimed had funded the Freedom Convoy. Lobb said the claim was false and threatened libel action: “There will be many lawyers calling.”

Feds Pay For Praise In States

The Canadian Embassy in Washington is paying thousands to consultants to influence U.S. “thought leaders” on social media, according to records. The initiative coincided with American media criticism of a cabinet order invoking the Emergencies Act against truckers opposed to vaccine mandates: “Mr. Trudeau criminalized a protest movement.”

MPs Investigate Bank Freeze

The Commons finance committee will investigate cabinet’s freeze on millions held in bank accounts of Freedom Convoy protesters. MPs said they feared far-reaching impacts of the emergency order: “What is going to happen to the security of our monetary system with the government haphazardly forcing banks to actually freeze the accounts of people?”

Attorney General David Lametti’s Emergencies Act order to freeze bank accounts of political protesters “cannot be justified in a free and democratic society,” the Canadian Civil Liberties Association has told a federal judge.
