“A Canadian financial institution has struck another blow against the attempts by the convoy group blockading Ottawa to collect on the millions of dollars it has solicited in online donations.
On Friday, TD Bank told CTV News that it would apply to surrender to an Ontario court the money that had not been refunded by GoFundMe, totalling about $1 million, as well as some $400,000 the group had accepted through direct donations.
“TD has asked the court to accept the funds, which were raised through crowdfunding and deposited into personal accounts at TD, so they may be managed and distributed in accordance with the intentions of the donors, and/or to be returned to the donors who have requested refunds but whose entitlement to a refund cannot be determined by TD,” spokesperson Carla Hindman said.
Convoy lawyer Keith Wilson said that the group planned to fight to retrieve any money they had raised — and could be seen in a video promoting the group’s next play: a cryptocurrency fundraiser that has raised almost US$1 million.
“We will be taking expedited legal steps to have the restrictions on the donated funds lifted as soon as possible,” Wilson said in an email to CTV News.
It’s another hurdle in collecting any donations for the convoy, which has occupied Ottawa for about two weeks and blocked other border crossings as a protest of vaccine mandates. The ongoing protest prompted Ontario Premier Doug Ford to declare a provincial state of emergency Friday.
Of the more than $10 million raised by crowdfunding platform GoFundMe, only $1 million was deposited, before GoFundMe opted to return the remainder of the funds.
A second set of fundraisers, set up on GiveSendGo, has reached almost $9 million as of Friday.”
