TD Bank freezes 2 personal accounts that had $1.1 million paid into them to support Canadian trucker

But do you think this is what might have happened:

With the way the tide is turning, it can be seen that this trucker protest doesn't have legs.

The evidence for this is that the police have cleared the truckers out. See this WSJ article posted at around 8 p.m. today that states:

Police began making arrests and towing vehicles shortly after 8 a.m. ET Sunday on a main street that leads to access to the bridge, over which hundreds of millions of dollars of goods are transported by trucks into the U.S. and Canada each day. Hours later, protesters gathered in another location near an intersection that leads to the bridge, where police said further arrests were made.

Windsor Police Chief Pamela Mizuno said late Sunday afternoon that police had arrested between 25 and 30 protesters and towed about a dozen vehicles. She said there may be a “cat and mouse” situation in the area for a while, as groups of protesters retreat and then appear again in different locations near the bridge.

Earlier in this article, it tells how measures were being taken even earlier than Friday, so the writing was on the wall.

This is my speculation: The donors--some of them, at least--saw this was throwing good money after bad. Circumstances have changed. The government was removing the most bothersome part of the protests, which is the blockage caused by the trucks. Therefore, the protest was breaking up.

Get me my money back, is what they must have been thinking.

So again, surmising, the big donors asked for their money back. Since some money was going back, that presented a problem with the smaller donors. The bank didn't want to get involved with all that, so they went to the court.

Just a working theory. We'll see how this plays out.
