Andy Lee, an independent journalist who was recently banned from Twitter for reporting on the Freedom Convoy, says the Trudeau administration has frozen her bank and credit cards.
Lee, a Calgary-based independent journalist, previously made news for her research on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s questionable ties to China’s government. According to Global News reporter Sean O’Shea, the Trudeau government has blocked 206 bank accounts and counting in connection with the protest.
Lee’s Twitter account was suspended without cause on February 12 for the Twitter crime of “ban evasion,” which she denies.
Lee claims she was singled out because of her reporting, which frequently revealed the falsehoods and misinformation in mainstream media coverage.
Lee claims that her bank and credit cards have been frozen. “The Federal government has locked journalist Andy Lee’s bank and credit cards,” her partner, Shonn Oborowsky, alleged on Twitter Sunday evening. Trudeau is now going after journalists, which is insane.”
Toronto99 report: It is not clear why Andy Lee had her bank and credit card frozen. Toronto 99 tried to contact her for comment, but did not receive an immediate response. Andy Lee urged her followers to “keep calm.” Under the Emergencies Act, bank accounts can be frozen without a court order.
The banks have frozen numerous accounts, including ones belonging to independent media Druthers, as well as the accounts belonging to the protest organizers. Tamara Lich, the lead organizer of the convoy who is currently in prison, had her bank accounts frozen. This has complicated her efforts to get bail.
Time for Canada to have a few state funerals and help trudeau join his old man in hell. The sooner the better.
Please could you let us know which bank did freeze account of reporter Lee? Which credit cards? Maybe is the time to trust different bank and credit card company.
Shameful but, what else could be expected from a corporation-govt countey?Please publish the name of these banks so we stop doing business with them!
