> In fact, not only protestors but people who donated to the protest got their bank accounts seized.

As far as I can tell accounts were frozen, not seized. Do you have a reference for donor accounts being seized?

When it comes to civil rights like Section 8 of the charter. There's no such thing as 'frozen'

They were searched, seized, and later returned.

You have to go back to figure out how the government knew what bank accounts to seize. They didnt go up to each person and ask to see their debit card. Police dont have a ready list of bank accounts to seize.

The source of the seizures was the gofundme leak by a hacker. Who has since been arrested, convicted, and is in prison for a separate hacking incident. Canada gave him immunity to his crimes during freedom protest. They took the donor list and seized from there.

That's not true, the fundraising platforms raising funds for the convoy had to register with FINTRAC and failing that, the banks can track who is sending money to those platforms for those accounts. It even says so in the article you linked. What's the source that the government used the leak to find the accounts?

Thanks for the insight - learned something here. Didn't know about the hacker, that's pretty upsetting.
