Recently disclosed internal emails reveal that a federal bank, Farm Credit Canada (FCC) in Regina, ordered its employees to track and report clients who were potentially sympathetic toward the truckers’ Freedom Convoy.

The emails, obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter through an Access to Information request, contradict FCC’s public denial in February that it was compiling lists of clients who supported “activity related to the Freedom Convoy.”
