Meghan Murphy's bank account frozen on orders of Canadian government

How can it even be legal??

Meghan herself has spoken in support of them many times. She has always been concerned about this overreach of powers.

Oh missed this:

My candidacy was confirmed officially on Tuesday. That same day, I tried to access my bank account and could not.

and

When I contacted my bank they refused to give me any information beyond the fact they were following government orders, and they gave me a number and name to contact. I called the number, and got a voicemail saying the employee was on vacation all week. So basically this guy froze my bank account and immediately went on vacation.

extremely chilling

I saw this earlier and find it very chilling. It’s definitely not for some sort of tax reason is it?

I’m so shocked I don’t know what to say but I feel I owe it to Meghan to post something, even if it’s only a

I understanf that the canadian liberal party is centre-left, whearas in the UK they are usually considered centre right? These days though, anyone who is not ‘right wing’, seems to be deemed left wing by default in most countries thanks to SM.

Governments using criminal asset seizure powers over citizens like this is incredibly bad. She hasn't been accused, let alone convicted of anything, never mind profiting from crime.

Who exactly is left-wing in the Canadian government?

Having Trump threaten to annex Canada has made Canadians turn against him - and anything associated with him - en masse. It’s quite hard on Murphy, who only turned to Trump over gender issues and is now caught up in the backlash.

I am amazed that Canada looks like re-electing the government that did this to its own citizens.

This isn’t the first time Canada has done this. They did it to dozens (hundreds?) of truckers that rallied and wouldn’t disperse a few years ago. Froze their bank accounts and suddenly they couldn’t pay their mortgages to keep their homes and their wives couldn’t buy food for their children. I remember seeing panicked social media posts about it. It was a reprehensible thing to do.

I think many of them never got it back.

This is shocking.

Just want to pre-empt the thread monitors and the lib fems who are sure to descend with wihataboutery bullshit.

1. Meghan Murphy has been fighting gender ideology since the early days. Her photo walking into a Canadian public library with her head held high, while surrounded by screaming TRAs is iconic
2. Murphy holds conservative views on some matters surrounding women’s places in the family, reproductive rights and other matters. We can support Murphy while not agreeing with her every position on everything.
3. No-one deserves to be debanked or have their accounts frozen. It’s authoritarian and the fact is, it is always so called progressives doing it to conservatives.

So if you are coming onto this thread justify why we shouldn’t be concerned about this happening because Murphy holds X, Y, Z views you can fuck right off.

However, her following remarks seem hypocritical. There are plenty of Americans who have been arrested for speech and wrongly detained under Trump. This is not 'hysterics' as Murphy may claim. It's wrong that Murphy's bank is frozen. And it's wrong that the US is arresting people for speech Trump doesn't like.

Canadians are mere weeks away from having their rights and freedoms completely disappeared, yet many remain in hysterics about Donald Trump and an electric vehicle company owned by an American man who has zero impact on the lives of regular Canadians.

Absolutely disgusting. So much for 'nice' Canada.

That's absolutely appalling and I'm surprised there is zero coverage of this in mainstream media.... but then I guess we shouldn't be surprised.

This is chilling. Access to our money is what provides us food and shelter. For a bank to freeze your account with no warning and no reason would be bad enough. If this has come by request of the Canadian government to a political opponent is positively authoritarian.

Where are the human rights orgs?

The left wing are very bit as totalitarian and scary as the right

Well that's scary as all shit.

I read that earlier. Appalling.
