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.”

Lose the mandates, Justin.
At this point making zip on interest on money in a bank...May as well have a vault.
In 2020 they began moving some of their operations down to “red” states in the U.S. simply because of the ridiculous COVID-related restrictions north of the border.
Yesterday they announced that they were closing their Canadian operation down completely.
That’s not as dramatic a move as it may sound. The Canadian COVID restrictions were so infantile and ludicrous that hardly anyone was still working up there anyway.
When I was in high school I remember a textbook mocking French people living out in the country that didn’t trust banks so they hid their money in mattresses often in the form of gold. Seems they made the RIGHT decision.
In 1980 three year T-Bills were issued paying almost 15% interested. Compounded that was a pretty good deal when they matured.

Dudley Do-Wrong
He opened at least one bank account in every town he visited while in vaudeville, so he always had some money available no matter where he was. And every account he opened was under a different name. And most of the names were nonsensical. I remember reading about all of that in one of his biographies I read while I was in grade school. Some things just stick with you.
Someone checked with a Lawyer and D’oh you can’t do that ,LOL
The bio film about W.C. Fields was pretty funny.
If some bank froze my account at the behest the government, the nanosecond it was unfrozen is the nanosecond it would be closed by me.
Yeah...I was making 10% on my money in a CD back in 86-87
OK
What are they doing to the dipsticks who thought this was a good idea?
What choice did the populace have but to cause a real
headache for Ottawa?
They were peaceful, but loud. “Oh my!”
Right. They honked!!! so loudly! 😱
I saw a clip of one of the Parliament fools claiming honking was a new symbol for supporting Hitler.

You mean Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and she mocked the people who had their accounts frozen , can she be sued
People are going to start bringing mannequins to throw under their Dancing Ponies shows.
Trudeau’s whole cabinet is nothing but freaks
Wouldn’t the correct term be “thaw” not “unfreeze?”
I mean, they didn’t “Unthaw” them in the first place, right?
The Canadian version of good cop/bad cop?
Doing the same.
