Exactly, the RCMP has not been guiding the banks to freeze the accounts [0]. RCMP and Banks state accounts for donors will not be frozen [1]. At worst RCMP can advise the banks which makes the decision (source from Federal MP) [2].

The government is also working on a plan where you can appeal your account being frozen.

So the government rushes really hard to give themselves the power to freeze bank accounts, but they don't include a way to appeal your account being frozen until you're not able to use your funds for who knows how long.

What a shame that Canada has come to this.

You really missed the point. Only a small number of people directly involved with the convoy had this happen to them. Regular donors are fine.
