UPDATE: GiveSendGo Responds: Know this! Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo. All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns, not least of which is The Freedom Convoy campaign.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has gone to court to freeze all of the GiveSendGo crowdfunding donations raised for the Freedom Convoy truckers. The current GiveSendGo fundraiser sits at $8.4 million US.
There is a lot of legal complexity here, and it is not clear the Ontario court has any jurisdiction let alone a feasible way to determine or enforce how and where the funds are distributed. However, in the bigger picture the government is trying to block the funding of the Freedom Convoy.
Premier Doug Ford is the leader of the “progressive conservative party,” the Canadian version of the DeceptiCons.
Apparently, the premier coordinated with Ontario Attorney General to file a restraint order under 490.8 of the Criminal Code, identifying the funds as “offense related property.”
CANADA – The Superior Court of Justice has granted a request from the Ontario government to freeze access to millions of dollars donated through online fundraising platform GiveSendGo to the truckers convoy protesting COVID-19 restrictions in Ottawa and at several border crossings.
A statement from Premier Doug Ford’s office on Thursday said Attorney General Doug Downey brought the application for the order, under 490.8 of the Criminal Code, to prohibit anyone from distributing donations made through the website’s “Freedom Convoy 2022” and “Adopt-a-Trucker” campaign pages.
Ivana Yelich, spokesperson for the premier, said the order “binds any and all parties with possession or control over these donations.” (read more)
The masks are dropping at an alarming rate. Ford casted himself previously as the advocate for the blue-collar workers like truck drivers. However, when the rubber literally hits the road, the elitism comes directly to the surface.
It’s doubtful this will have any impact on the Ottawa Freedom Protest, but it highlights the disconnect between the Canadian governing elite and the Main Street working class Canadians. This move is pathetic and will hopefully backfire.
For those wondering, the Order which the Ontario government obtained under section 490.8 of the Criminal Code freezes the distribution of the millions donated to the Convoy through GiveSendGo, now alleged to be "offence-related property".

The Canadian Leftists know they are losing the mandate battle.
GIVESENDGO has Raised : USD $8,694,301 as of this moment.
It would seem a prudent and responsible government would do their homework before making themselves look like the fools they are. They’ve learned nothing from the USA Democrats.
GO CANADA TRUCKERS
GOD GO WITH YOU
Wow, lots of good talking points can be extracted here for a FREE Radio talk show..we can see the Government of Canada is not By the People, For the People and OF the people, but some elitists have taken over and are pure tyrants! This is obvious.
Canada
Free Country……..Nahhhhhhh
They just practice a softer version of the “Democratic Communism” like China and Russia. Give you just enough to make you think you’re free. But control everything else.
They don’t have to. They control everything. Canada needs a wholesale purge just like we do. But, just like us, there’s a big enough element in the country that is completely ok with what has been going on.
Liberals like being told what to do and be controlled.

Givesendgo should come out and publicly offer to “Add 10% for the Big Guy if our fundraising is allowed”...just for fun.
This guy Doug Ford must be a real dirtbag, wikipedia really does a number on him.
