Canada's banking industry says it will follow through with the federal government's emergency orders targeting the trucker protesters as discussions on how best to implement them continue. The government published details late Tuesday on the requirements covering a wide range of the financial industry including banks, credit unions, insurance companies, portfolio managers and investment counselling services. "Banks in Canada follow all applicable laws and regulations in carrying out their operations, in keeping with their commitment to protect the integrity of Canada's financial system," the association said. The emergency orders direct financial institutions to suspend services to both individual and business clients who they suspect are aiding the blockades. To have financial accounts unfrozen, either because someone has stopped protesting or because of mistaken identity, officials said individuals would have to reach out to their financial institutions who would then validate the information and take necessary measures. The Insurance Bureau of Canada said Tuesday that the association and its members would work with the federal government to determine how best to implement the orders.

Ontario Government Employee Fired Over $100 Contribution To Freedom Convoy https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-government-staffer-out-of-a-job-after-100... The communications director for the Ontario ministry responsible for enforcing the law was fired this week after her $100 donation to the Freedom Conovoy was revealed in the hack of donors to a GiveSendGo campaign, according to CTV News. Marion Isabeau-Ringuette was one of several government staffers whose donations drew the eye of Sauron after the list of some 100,000 donors was leaked. "For the communications director to be financially supporting an unlawful, illegal occupation is definitely concerning," said NDP MPP Catherine Fife. "Who was donating, why were they donating, and did this contribute to the non-action that happened on the ground in Ottawa?" According to Ontario Premier Doug Ford spokeswoman Ivana Yelich, "Ms. Isabeau-Ringuette no longer works for the Ontario government." Isabeau-Ringuette worked as a political staffer as recently as Sunday for Ontario’s Solicitor-General, the position that oversees police and other law enforcement in Ontario. The $100 donation was listed as anonymous on GiveSendGo, but in a pair of leaked documents totalling nearly 100,000 donations, one line reads “M.R.” with an email address that contains Isabeau-Ringuette’s name. -CTV Another employee under scrutiny works for the federal correctional service, while a pollster with ties to the governing Progressive Conservative party was also accused in an NDP news release of donating to the protesters, who oppose government vaccine mandates and other restrictions. According to Toronto lawyer Nainesh Kotak, even small donors to the fund - should the continue donating - run the risk of frozen bank accounts since the government invoked the Emergencies Act. "Under this enactment I would suggest the government could freeze bank accounts if they chose to do so," he said, adding "That’s concerning. The targets should be the bigger players." George Washington University postdoc fellow Yunkang Yan says conservative US politicians are using the Freedom Convoy to energize their base. "“A lot of influential right-wing media have been promoting narratives about that for a long time. They have very big audiences. People from all walks of life on the political right might be a viewer of their content on a regular basis," which includes those on both sides of the border. "That might be why they are really sucked into this." Who is funding the #FreedomConvoy? Part II: Adopt-A-Trucker edition. If the newer leak from @GiveSendGo via #DDOS is accurate... Canada slightly edges out US donors at about 47 per cent in terms of the number of donors. Interactive: https://t.co/NFJTAOrjeR pic.twitter.com/jB9lcH1rgC — Jon Woodward (@ctv_jon) February 16, 2022
War on your Financial Freedom... Not buying enough of the right consumer products... Not donating to the powers dujour... Speaking freely... Lose your bank accounts... Canadian Lawmaker Claims Single Mom Had Bank Account Frozen After Donating $50 To Freedom Convoy https://www.theepochtimes.com/canadian-lawmaker-claims-single-mom-had-bank-a... https://twitter.com/markstrahl/status/1495152305364164617 Canadian politician Mark Strahl on Feb. 20 claimed that a single mom with a minimum wage job had her bank account frozen after she “legally” donated $50 to the Freedom Convoy. Strahl, a Conservative, took to Twitter to criticize Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for the Emergencies Act, which was invoked for the first time in Canada’s history to address the impact of the ongoing protests against COVID-19 mandates and restrictions by truckers and their supporters. “Briane is a single mom from Chilliwack working a minimum wage job,” Strahl wrote on Twitter on Feb. 20. “She gave $50 to the convoy when it was 100% legal. She hasn’t participated in any other way. Her bank account has now been frozen. This is who Justin Trudeau is actually targeting with his Emergencies Act orders.” Strahl was soon pressed by other Twitter users to provide further details and verification regarding his claims about the single mother and her allegedly frozen bank account. It's been very troubling watching both traditional media and people on social media cheering on the suspension of civil rights in response to the protests in Ottawa.

I will keep working with Briane to resolve this matter with her bank and will provide updates as they are made available.” He added, “To those of you, especially the media, demanding more details on Briane, having seen what has been said about her online today and what has been done to other convoy donors in the last weeks I am not going to help you dox her. I know who she is and I won’t stop fighting for her.” A police officer smashes a truck window as police deploy to remove protesters in Ottawa on Feb. 19, 2022. (Dave Chan/AFP via Getty Images) In a statement on Feb. 21, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said account-freezing powers under the Emergency Economic Measures Order (Emergencies Act), pertained to “individuals who were influencers in the illegal protest in Ottawa, and owners and/or drivers of vehicles who did not want to leave the area impacted by the protest.” “At no time, did we provide a list of donors to financial institutions,” RCMP said. “We are now working with the banks to build a process to address the accounts that were frozen,” RCMP added. Mike Duheme, RCMP deputy commissioner of federal policing, announced on Feb. 20 that police had frozen 206 financial products, including bank and corporate accounts, of individuals and companies allegedly involved in the ongoing protests in Ottawa. Duheme said at a news conference that the RCMP had also disclosed the information of 56 entities associated with vehicles, individuals, and companies. Officials also shared 253 bitcoin addresses with virtual currency exchanges, and froze a payment processing account valued at $3.8 million, Duheme said. The RCMP has not said what will happen to the money that has been frozen by financial institutions or indicated that those who donated money to the Freedom Convoy were included. “We continue to work at collecting relevant information on persons, vehicles, and companies and remain in daily communication with the financial institutions to assist them,” Duheme told reporters. However, at a press briefing on Feb. 21, Trudeau was asked if regular individuals making donations to support the Freedom Convoy were having their bank accounts frozen, to which he responded that “the measures we put in place are designed and focused on ensuring the people in the current illegal occupations leave,” the Vancouver Sun reported. “That has been the intent and the focus right now. If there are specific cases that Conservative ministers can bring forward to highlight where that is not the case, we would happily look at them and look to resolve them,” said Trudeau. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland also reiterated that the financial sanctions are aimed at targeting leaders and those who were part of illegal occupations and blockades. “It’s important for all of us to be very, very careful to get our facts exactly right in each circumstance, and I would urge all of us to take that care in every situation,” she said. “The RCMP has given to the financial institutions names of leaders and organizers of the protests and of people whose trucks were part of occupations and blockades. That is the only information given, according to the RCMP, that the RCMP has given to financial institutions.” The Epoch Times has contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Mark Strahl for comment.
