Assiniboine Credit Union is among the financial institutions that allegedly reported on their account holders for suspected support of the Freedom Convoy. The incidents are detailed in documents outlining the scope of the Emergencies Act account freezes.

The Winnipeg credit union reported to the RCMP on Feb. 15, 2022, the first day the Emergencies Act was invoked, according to the documents obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter. It said staff went through an account holder’s social media posts and saw they supported the Freedom Convoy.
