Should a leader be allowed to freeze people's bank accounts without a court order?

I would bet Australia. 

We have an election pending, and we're getting our democracy BACK. Murdererdoch's stooge is on a hiding to nothing. Corrupt, moribund and tries to cover up rapes.
Labor's Anthony Albanese is a man I know personally, and will be a brilliant PM.

I don't know anything about your politicians just some of what has happened with lockdowns etc.   And if that was done under a conservative in AU.....you all are already lost. Sorry.  This post was edited by my2cents at February 16, 2022 4:16 PM MST

A corrupt conservative government. One that has been promising to introduce a commission against corruption, and delivered nothing. One that has failed to investigate rape complaints against ministers, and failed to disclose the identity of major donors - including one who paid $1m towards the legal fees of the former AG.

Again... I do not know and really do not care enough to verify.  
But I have seen the BS they have pulled because of SARS2.

Should Trudeau be able to seize people's bank accounts WITHOUT a court order?

Under certain circumstances I think so.

I think that is the actions of a tyrant and a dictatorship.  

Appears to be a heavy handed action but doesn't mean I'll lose any assets.

They are going after people who did not protest but simply donated to the protesters.  So would the donors have an expectation of privacy? 

From what I see Sec 8 has protections against illegal seizure of property without due process.

From what I understand in the BCCLA article ... "reasonable expectation of privacy" would not apply to the protestors, because their activity is taking place in public.  

According to that article: "There is no protection under the Charter in circumstances where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy."

Thus, there is no protection against the seizure of the bank accounts (or placing a hold on them).

I do not understand why property being seized without due process (court order) would have anything to do with expectation of privacy.   I see that for illegal search but not for seizing of property.

Doesn't make sense to me, either ... but that appears to be how Canada operates.

Glad I live in US.

I did not mention the election....

I am talking  about Trudeau seizing people's bank accounts without a court order.

Then perhaps it would have been a good idea to mention that you were referring to Canada.

It should not be legal for any leader of any country to steal from their citizens because the disagree with policies of that leader.

(Are you under the impression that Biden has stolen money from citizens who believe he cheated in the election? 

The money is not being stolen.  It's being frozen in those accounts.  

Why would you think I'm under the impression Biden has stolen money from anyone?  That was your implication, not mine.

WITHOUT a court order.   That is illegal in the US. And It should be in any country. 

(You are the you who thought the question was somehow about the Jan 6. My question specifically talks about a leader freezing protesters accounts.  I do not know how you came to that conclusion. But if my question was about the Jan 6 protesters having their accounts frozen that would have been by Biden.)

You seem to be trying to apply US laws to another country.  Canada can do whatever they want in Canada.
