Should the government have the power to freeze the bank accounts of participants in illegal protests?
The invocation of the Emergencies Act in 2022 allowed the federal government to freeze the bank accounts of 'Freedom Convoy' participants without a court order, sparking a fierce debate on civil liberties. Proponents argue that in an era of crowdsourced funding, freezing assets is a necessary tool to quickly dissolve illegal blockades that threaten the economy. Opponents argue that bypassing due process to seize assets sets a terrifying precedent, weaponizing the financial system against political dissidents.
