Talk Truth 08.28.26 – Tanya Gaw | Action4Canada founder Tanya Gaw shares what happened after TD Bank froze her 85-year-old mother’s accounts—and Gaw’s joint accounts—for three weeks following questions over her mother withdrawing her own money in cash. Gaw walks through her fight to regain access, why she says the situation escalated far beyond reasonable fraud protection, and the steps Canadians can take to reduce their financial vulnerability. From keeping cash on hand and maintaining paper statements to understanding your banking rights and reducing digital dependence, Gaw explains why she believes Canadians need to start preparing before they find themselves locked out of their own money.
