What do either of the given examples given have to do with the Emergencies Act of freezing someone out of banking? Being kicked off university property is not the same thing as having your financial life frozen by the feds.

The organizers of one of the vancouver pro-palestine protests was designated a terrorist group. I assume that causes bank account freezes.

How many of these were "de-banked"?

Yes, and I live in the same city as well, and I'll agree with you that both Conservatives and Liberals have made things worse for us at different levels of the government.

Personal attacks will get you banned here, no matter how wrong someone else is or you feel they are.

How many of the UofT protestors were de-banked? There's a vast difference between having tents removed from a public space, and being cut off from essential parts of modern life. You can't pay insurance with cash. You can't have a regular phone contract. You may not even be able to have home internet. Someone who is debanked effectively becomes a different caste of person, one who is prohibited from most institutions and services.

You're comparing apples to oranges by comparing the treatment of the trucker protests and the campus occupiers.
