When banks did this, we immediately closed our account with a big, national US bank and moved to a local bank whose president lives in our community. Less convenient, more expensive, but worth it. We must leave the big banks and go local. Also, use CASH as much as possible to slow the transition to digital transactions.

“My interpretation of their response is, "we do not want to do this. As soon as they allowed us to, give you access to your account, we did so immediately. It wasn’t our choice,”

Well no, it was your choice actually. Tyranny requires compliance. The way it works is tyrants can't force working stiffs who DGAF to comply. They rely on a closer inner circle of people with something to lose, to comply. Bankers, cops with pensions, and in feudal times, lords, dukes, and knights. They are the "enforcers" of tyranny with the means to do the enforcing. In effect, tyranny doesn't come from the tyrant. It comes from the enforcers of tyranny.

Little has changed in thousands of years.

It is worth noting, that if you google "frozen opposition bank accounts", only Canada and Russia come up. Some company there for Trudeau!

What happened to the”innocent until proven guilty”? Nowadays anybody can freeze bank accounts without being held accountable.

Only a court of justice should be allowed by a legal ruling (warrant) to freeze bank accounts but nobody else.

But in the last several years we have used the charter of Rights and Freedoms and other Supreme Law of the Land and People documents as toilet paper.

It would have been polite (but who expects the Scotiabank’s CEO to be) to have the name printed and the letter (or email) signed.

I did not see beside the apology any will to compensate the “client” for the harm done to him and his family. Not everyone gets a million dollars paycheque like this CEO even during lockdowns and other curfews.

You need to get rid of your communist government. Start with your local MPs. Do not give up. That is what they want you to do.

They deserve whatever backlash they get.

The banks with all of their money could have easily hired top lawyers to protect their clients but instead just bowed down to the fascist government. The banks can just pound sand as far as I am concerned.

Ah. They were only obeying orders. That's alright then ...... where have I heard that before?

And I'm sure they will obey orders and withhold people's money from them the next time someone refuses to take a poison shot for Monkeypox or something else and the government makes refusing that illegal too ....... again in complete contravention of the bill of rights.

It's good to know we have our money in such "law abiding" organisations. Any Canadian, in fact anyone in the Western world, that keeps more than they have to in a bank deserves all they get in the future.

Buy Gold, buy Silver, buy anything light enough for you to carry and get off their criminal systems as much as you possibly can. If they ask why you are doing this tell them you are only obeying orders.

The only way to stop communism is to do it in advance. After communism takes over it is too late. Best way to do it is to hit him in the pocketbook and the banks are afraid they will lose profits from this. The government did not listen to the truckers but they will listen to the banks.

Keep pulling your money out. The banks are in retreat because of the loss of confidence. The only way to ensure it doesn't happen again is to keep punishing them for this breach of trust. The government only understands the pain of its corporate partners, not the pain of its subjects.

Crocodile tears as bankers are fully on board in implementing their fascist great reset!

We have banked with RBC for twenty years. I wrote RBC noting our disapproval of freezing the Trucker Convoy accounts. We got a frosty reply stating the handling of the bank accounts was within the law. Since then we have moved our savings to an Alberta credit union. This way we can continue protesting our loss of freedom in Canada. The powerful, big banks will feel this and Trudeau will be held responsible for his tyrannical response to Canadians. The MSM can gloss over all that happened, but we know better.

Make sure the banks replace or pay all the fees the frozen bank accounts initiated. I would yank all money from any Canadian bank anyway....the banks can no longer be trusted bec they are puppets....not sure if CA has credit unions or whether they'd be safer to store money but I'd get so far away from banks, they'd have to close if enough members did so.

Least We NOT Forget, that there was a hacker, that had hacked the "GiveSendGo" account and produced a list of people, that had donated to the Truckers Convoy, for the RCMP to cease their accounts!...

This hacker didn't take the money, sell the credit card or personal info, but was more concerned about the list of people donating!...

Which tells me it was a government/RCMP inside hacker, that way if they were ever caught, they could say that, they were only interested in the list!!!

Any other hacker, would have taken the money, sold the credit card and personal info, while collecting off of the government for the list!!!

NO, this was a inside government/RCMP hacker, that wouldn't be able to take the other goodies, in case they were caught hacking the account and stealing the goods, they wouldn't be able to say they were only interested in the LIST!!!

PLUS why haven't we heard about the arrest of this hacker, the RCMP must know who this person is, they got the list off of them, without stealing the MONEY?

What hacker goes through all that trouble, without keeping any of the rewards, no money, no info, just a list and for how much???

Government/RCMP hackers that's who, NO ONE else, would take all this risk, for no rewards!!!
