Do I get to be the first one to say it?
The banks soiled themselves after they realized their little-girl-in-thief peeked under the curtain and Canadians realized they shouldn't trust the government with their money. This was not a case of the banks advising Trudy to reverse his orders, this is one where Trudy was told to reverse his order or there will be Coup d'état in short order

On Monday, Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland defended the freezings, which some financial-law experts warned could affect people unaffiliated with the protest.
“The way to get your account unfrozen is to stop being part of the blockade and occupation,” she added.
The RCMP said financial institutions had frozen over 200 accounts belonging to individuals and one held by a payment processor with a value of 3.8 million Canadian dollars, equivalent to $3 million. Police had also ceased transactions involving 253 cryptocurrency addresses.
Police said this week that the accounts they told financial institutions to freeze belong to individuals considered central organizers in the Ottawa blockade, and owners or drivers of vehicles who refused to leave the area, but not people who donated to the protest through crowdfunding Web sites.

So the narrative now is “look, we’re really reasonable and will unfreeze your account if you stop protesting - all you have to do is comply, it’s so easy, why would you not? What’s wrong with you? Don’t be a silly obtuse refusenik, grow up”.
