Chrystia Freeland built a blacklist of Freedom Convoy supporters and sent it out to be read by staff at private companies.
A court has since ruled the whole thing was unlawful.
Names. Birth dates. Phone numbers.
The RCMP compiled it. Freeland's emergency order is what turned those names into frozen bank accounts.
It went to roughly 50 financial institutions by unencrypted email. Regular email. No password, no protection.
Now Blacklock's Reporter has the rest of it. Ontario regulators forwarded that same list to between 1,000 and 2,000 brokerages and firms, with no rules attached about who else could see it.
Thousands of ordinary employees, handed a government list of Canadians who backed a protest.
And it did not stop at the border. The Canadian operations of Bank of China, State Bank of India, Citibank, Habib Bank, Mizuho and Wells Fargo all got a copy.
$7.8 million frozen. 437 accounts.
In January the Federal Court of Appeal ruled the whole thing unlawful, and found that searching those bank accounts broke the Charter.
Now Carney's government is appealing that to the Supreme Court. Defending Freeland's ILLEGAL blacklist.
