To my surprise interest rate in my EQ bank was lowered down to 1.25% right now and not on May 25 as announced. I feel quite stupid for transferring money from tangerine. Time to move again. So disappointed….. PS They still hold my money as a hostage (hold) for one week despite it was pulled to EQ by them..

You misunderstood the email or posts. On April 16th the high-interest savings account rate dropped to 1.25%. On May 26th the TFSA interest rate will drop to 1.25%.
I have confirmed that the TFSA interest rate currently remains 2.3%.
The paragraph from the email:
As of Friday, April 16th, 2021, the interest rate on our Savings Plus Account will change from 1.50% to 1.25%*; as of Wednesday, May 26th, 2021, the interest rates on our TFSA Savings Account and RSP Savings Account will change from 2.30% to 1.25%.*

I agree, the title to this thread disparages EQ Bank with no justification, it appears.

3 months GIC at 1.5% is still available, for those who are disappointed by rate drop.
I signed for it, because it gives me time to figure what I am going to do next.

EQ pulled the "This is not a promo rate" when they opened up their HISA accounts. Didn't really expect this rate to last either. Am I disappointed in lower rates? Yes. I am also disappointed with rate drops at:
The Bank of Canada
Motive
Tangerine
Hubert
Cdn Tire
Oaken
AcceleRate Financial
Achieva Financial
Alterna Bank
Bridgewater Bank
Ideal Savings
Implicity Financial
LBC Digital
MAXA Financial
motusbank
Neo Financial (not a REAL bank)
Outlook Financial
Peoples Trust
and Wealth One Bank of Canada
Unfortunately, may not be the end of the rate lowering
