> Even people who donated to the truckers before the crackdown got targeted in the bank account freezes.

Source?

There's no way to know for sure because these are all secret charges (Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said she would not give "specifics of whose accounts are being frozen." -- https://www.newsweek.com/banks-have-begun-freezing-accounts-... ).

But there are some example of people who have come forth: https://www.visiontimes.com/2022/02/21/canadians-frozen-bank...

Not knowing anything about the Vision Times, a quick search:

> Vision Times is one of the news organizations that Falun Gong's founder Li Hongzhi refers to as "our media".[1] The newspaper's president is the spokesperson for the Falun Dafa Association in New York, and is chair of another Falun Gong group called Quit the CCP.[1] In 2021, The Atlantic called Vision Times a "doppelgänger site" of The Epoch Times.[5]

Last I read up on it the consensus seemed to be Mark Strahl's claims had no basis in reality.

None of the donating people mentioned in that article have come forth, if they had done we'd have some evidence it happened.

I saw this reported here in the UK. I believe it was also mentioned in a recent Unherd article about the dangerous implications of this misuse of powers, but I’m sure you are capable of using a search engine.

I was asking because American right wing news has frequently lied about what was happening here in Canada. To my knowledge there hasn’t been a single report of a frozen bank account over a donation except for some debunked tweet by a Canadian conservative politician.

Thus, I asked for a source.
