This article, from wannabe PPC candidate, Meghan Murphy, is very disturbing:
My candidacy was confirmed officially on Tuesday. That same day, I tried to access my bank account and could not. I contacted my bank, Vancity, and was informed the account had been frozen as per direction from the government. I had accessed my account just two days prior, so the timing was clear. I had not been informed of this freezing by anyone — not the bank, not the government. No one attempted to contact me. I was completely blindsided.
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.
The Liberal government will not talk about this. Neither will the Conservatives. If Liberal supporters were polled about whether they support the bank accounts of Canadians being frozen, is there any doubt they would be entirely on board, with responses like, “The government knows best. There must be a good reason.” It would be nice to think that Conservative supporters would be outraged but in 2025, who knows.
Canada has now joined the infamous club of the UK, France, Germany, and Romania, where political candidates with different views than the “official narrative” are being marginalized or worse. These are no long real democracies. You can pretend otherwise, but they’re simply not.
