After the “success” of freezing the accounts of civil liberties protesters.

Canada‘s highly controversial use of the Emergencies Act during last winter’s anti-Covid restrictions civil protest known as the “Freedom Convoy,” and criticism heaped on the authorities thereafter, does not appear to have persuaded them to act differently in the future.
