During the Freedom Convoy in 2022, Canadians watched as bank accounts were frozen for supporting the protest. Now, in July 2025, it’s happening again. Eva Chipiuk — the lawyer who represented Convoy protestors and cross-examined former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — says Royal Bank of Canada suddenly dropped her after a few cryptocurrency transactions. 
Is this a warning to all Canadians? If banks can cut off truckers, lawyers, and ordinary citizens, who’s safe? Weaponizing bank accounts is a full-frontal assault that puts democracy at risk.
