(LifeSiteNews) — An Ontario judge ordered that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and TD Bank must produce records related to freezing the accounts of a Freedom Convoy protester.
In a July 4 press release, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) announced that bank records pertaining to the RCMP freezing Freedom Convoy protester Evan Blackman’s accounts are to be released, according to a ruling by the Ontario Court of Justice.
“The freezing of Mr. Blackman’s bank accounts was an extreme overreach on the part of the police and the federal government,” lawyer Chris Fleury declared.
“These records will hopefully reveal exactly how and why Mr. Blackman’s accounts frozen,” he continued.
Blackman was arrested in 2022 during the Freedom Convoy that protested COVID mandates and vaccine passports. In October, his charges of mischief and obstructing police were dismissed due to lack of evidence.
However, the crown has since appealed the dismissal, and Blackman will stand trial beginning on August 14.
In addition to his 2022 arrest, TD Bank froze Blackman’s three bank accounts for his participation in the Freedom Convoy, in accordance with the direction of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who froze the bank accounts of those who donated to the Freedom Convoy.
Blackman’s lawyers plan to use his bank records at the upcoming trial to expose the government overreach that took place in 2022.
