After Trudeau Freezes Protesters’ Bank Accounts a Run on Canadian Banks Shuts Down Services
Banks in Canada started freezing accounts of those who allegedly were supporting the Trucker Freedom Convoy protests yesterday. As news of bank accounts being frozen spread, several major Canadian banks went offline in what appeared to be a bank run. Trudeau faced his critics in Ottawa earlier today at the House of Commons, and reportedly stated: "We understand that Canadians are frustrated with [COVID-19]. Some protesters came to Ottawa to express their frustrations and fatigue with public health measures. That's their right. It's a right that we'll defend in this free and democratic country. But the illegal blockades and occupations are not peaceful protests. They have to stop." According to Trudeau's Justice Minister, apparently those "illegal blockades and occupations" include being a Trump supporter, which can result in your bank account being frozen. Protesters apparently are not backing down, and Dr. Byram Bridle reportedly called on all Canadians to now head to Ottawa to join the protests.
