During the Freedom Convoy in 2022, Canadians watched as bank accounts were frozen for supporting the protest. Now, in July 2025, it’s happening again. Eva Chipiuk — the lawyer who represented Convoy protestors and cross-examined former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — says Royal Bank of Canada suddenly dropped her after a few cryptocurrency transactions.

Join David Leis live as we break it all down and discuss why this matters for every Canadian with:
- Brett Oland, CEO of Bow Valley Credit Union
- Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre
