TD Bank confirmed that it has frozen two bank accounts that held $1.4 million in Canadian currency (US$1.1 million) in deposits to support the trucker-led protests in Canada.
The Toronto-based financial institution has appealed to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to obtain the funds, with the intention of returning the cash to donors “who have requested refunds but whose entitlement to a refund cannot be determined by TD,” a spokesperson for TD—short for Toronto-Dominion—Bank told news outlets on Feb. 12.
