Showing Original Post only (View all)TD Bank freezes 2 personal accounts that had $1.1 million paid into them to support Canadian trucker [View all]
protestsToronto-Dominion (TD) Bank has frozen two personal bank accounts that had $1.1 million paid into them to support trucker protests in Canada, Reuters reported.
The protests have been ongoing since January 22, with members of the Freedom Convoy gathering across Canada in opposition to the country's vaccine mandates for cross-border drivers.
Early on Friday, a judge ordered protesters to end a blockade at the Ambassador Bridge over the border between the US and Canada.
According to a spokesperson, TD Bank appealed to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to take the funds, with the intention of returning them to the donors "who have requested refunds but whose entitlement to a refund cannot be determined by TD," per Reuters.

The funds are clearly intended for the criminal enterprise and were correctly frozen

Falsely equating criminal sieges with "traffic infractions" is not a belief worth standing firm on.
