Freeland says some protesters’ accounts have been frozen, more to come
Deputy Prime Minister says financial service providers have already frozen accounts of certain individuals associated with the trucker convoy blockades and protests.
Freeland said that while the government is choosing not to provide more detail about the number of the accounts suspended, “action is being taken [and] is going to increase” in the coming days.
Ottawa gave new powers to financial institutions, through invoking the Emergencies Act on Monday, to freeze or suspend an account of an individual or business affiliated with the blockades without a court order.
