An RCMP blacklist of individuals who supported the Freedom Convoy was emailed to securities regulators nationwide, with the personal information of convoy sympathizers potentially being received by thousands of financial advisors, according to internal emails. 
Issued under the Emergency Economic Measures Order enacted by the federal government on Feb. 15, the RCMP email told investment dealers to check their client lists to “determine on a continuing basis whether they are in possession or control of a property that is owned, held or controlled” by a Freedom Convoy supporter, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
