RCMP working to ‘unfreeze’ protesters’ bank accounts, Ottawa says
Toronto Star ^ | February 22, 2022 | Tonda MacCharles

OTTAWA—The federal government says the RCMP is working with financial institutions to “unfreeze” bank accounts locked by emergency orders that targeted people who organized, participated in, or donated to the so-called Freedom Convoy blockades.

Isabelle Jacques, assistant deputy minister of finance, told a Commons standing committee Tuesday that the RCMP began “sharing information” — related to the end of “unlawful” blockades — with banks and financial institutions as of Monday that should lead to affected accounts being “unfrozen.”

Hot off the presses!

So why the quick BACKTRACK? My guess is that the Canadian banks started seeing a run on them in the form of withdrawals due to the STUPID decision to freeze bank accounts of protesters and those who supported them. A dopey idea from the Son of Fidel and his coked up sidekick.

Also lets say someone is paying off a mortgage to the bank... and then his account gets frozen so NO MORE payments.

The whole house of cards comes falling down.

It WAS a brain dead move. Must have come from Biden. (Kidding)

Most likely the banks themselves quickly told Fidel’s Son and his cokehead sidekick that freezing bank accounts could have the effect of causing banks to collapse via bank runs. It was happening in the USA in 1933 due to bank runs.

Body of the story admits that nobody’s account has been “unfrozen” yet. Bad optics on this one, so pretty soon the media will declare it never happened.

1. Find liberal politicians name
2. Buy prepaid card
3. Donate $50 to truckers in liberal politician’s name with address
4. Politician gets bank frozen

Interesting that the RCMP is the one on top of this unfreezing. It was too embarrassing for Fidel’s Son and the Cokehead Sidekick to admit that they completely SCREWED UP since it would cause a banking disaster.

I've never thought about having a foreign bank account....

Always thought the USA was the safest....but wondering now about that.

I have accounts in 5 different entities...Money in a bank makes nothing....But I still park money in them..to pay bills, etc...

We shall see..........

Yes, you’ve got that right, and people in the U. S. went to
school on it.

It caused a lot of eyes to be opened, to just how draconian
the Left desires to be.

For days now, I thought the government had overplayed its
hand. Let’s wait now and see.

Two days ago some high muckie muck, was shooting his mouth
off about going after people across the nation.

That’s just Third Reich stuff.

I think they got the point when leading Left wing rags were
opening up to call his moves for going too far.

Those police on the streets were jerks. The attitudes were
abysmal, smart ass, and vicious.

No, perhaps a blockade isn’t kosher, but neither is screwing
around with people’s ability to pay the bills, keep a roof
over their family’s head, and earn a living.

What choice did the populace have but to cause a real
headache for Ottawa?

They were peaceful, but loud. “Oh my!”

As protests go, this was one of the most gentlemanly ones
to come down the pike ever.

Then this goose stepping boot campaign.

Riding horses over old women is like displaying that you
think those people deserve the death penalty.

Some very twisted minds out there on the part of law
enforcement.

I hope some of them are destroyed over this. They sure
didn’t mind destroying others.

Just fascist bullies... that’s what they were.

Last night they were closing down businesses that have sold
food to the truckers, as if that was some form of terrorism.

Do any of the police leadership have an ounce of savvy
between them? Evidently not!
