(LifeSiteNews) –– A Canadian woman slated to run under Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party of Canada in the upcoming federal election says her bank account was suddenly “frozen” by the government the same day her candidacy was confirmed.
Meghan Murphy, a prominent advocate against harmful transgender ideology, posted on Substack Monday that the “same day” she was confirmed as the PPC’s candidate for the Vancouver East riding, she “tried to access” her bank account but “could not.”
“I contacted my bank, Vancity, and was informed the account had been frozen as per direction from the government,” Murphy wrote, adding that she had accessed the account “just two days prior, so the timing was clear.”
“I had not been informed of this freezing by anyone — not the bank, not the government. No one attempted to contact me. I was completely blindsided,” Murphy continued.
LifeSiteNews reached out to the PPC, who confirmed Murphy’s story and said that the party is hoping to gather more details about what happened and why.
On Tuesday, PPC leader Maxime Bernier commented on Murphy’s ordeal, warning Canadians that these “outrageous violations of our basic rights and freedoms are becoming normalized.”

“The establishment media and political parties don’t care about it or even support it. The PPC has been warning you for years that Canada is becoming an authoritarian country. WILL YOU JUST LET IT HAPPEN WITHOUT A FIGHT?!?,” Bernier wrote.
According to Murphy, when she contacted her bank she was left in the dark, with the employee telling her that they “were following government orders.”
Murphy says the bank gave her a phone number to contact within the government, but that when she called she was met with a voicemail message “saying the employee was on vacation all week.”
