That was what the Ottawa city council told them to do. They stole it. These people are evil.

Ask either Rand Paul or Ted Cruz. They would know how legal this may be and what could still be done in response.
GoFundMe is going to regret this over the top arrogance.
$9 Million Dollars, just wiped out? Just removed from the donors intentions? No. That’s just too much, even for GoFundMe

Progressives always overreach and step on their own dicks.

Support for the Freedom Convoy will probably double here in Canada by Monday.

The already have a higher approval rating than the Trudeau government

You are right. If there is any decency left this will not be allowed to stand.

They are stealing it unless you specifically request a refund within 2 weeks. No reason not to send it all back immediately except that they are commie jerks.

Givesendgo is down for some reason. I’m sure it’s just a glitch . . .

But its still bull droppings.

Cancel the transaction through the credit card company
if that’s how the donation was given. Credit card companies
have made it easy to dispute a charge, just look up the charge online.

I would guess the average person won’t be paying close enough attention to react by that 2/18 date. For an amount of this size (Nine Million Dollars!) that cut off date should be 5/18.
Many who donate automatically assume the party of interest will receive their donation.

"They're not refunding the money but stealing it ???"

Thanks for posting this. I've never had anything to do with GoFundMe, so I was interested to see where their headquarters was located. It's in Redwood City, California. Redwood's population consists of 50.1% registered Democrats, 14.9% registered Republicans, and 30.5% registered with no political party given. I don't believe I've ever seen that high of a percentage for individuals who have no party affiliation whatsoever.

If we had any kind of government, that company would be undergoing extensive audits, not just for helping themselves to the $9 Million they are stealing from the truckers, but for the shady activities they've pulled in the past. Somebody is making large sums of money playing these kinds of games, and they need to be investigated. This is theft with a Capital T.

similarly, someone posted the following on an online forum in Australia:

...do a chargeback via the bank. You not only will get your money back but GoFundMe will have to pay an extra $15.00 per chargeback for not holding up their end of the bargain. Then take your funds and give that money to #GiveSendGo, who will get it to the truckers & the #FreedomConvoy.

Don’t use their refund crap.

Go to your bank and have them charge it back. That cost GoFundMe more money on top of the refund.

I thought Canada was hopelessly lost. Now they are leading the way. I hope they can bring down the Trudeau government in a no-confidence. That would shake the globalists to their very foundations.

Is an American convoy starting yet?

Yes it’s called “charge back” and this will cost them for each one that is disputed.

Excellent idea. I would do this.

Yeah it will hurt their credit rating too and costs them in fees!

CHARGE BACK!

"Cancel the transaction through the credit card company"

People over on patriots.win are telling those who donated, to file a chargeback with their credit card companies or banks. Apparently GoFundMe will be charged a fee for those. Someone claimed each chargeback can cost GoFundMe $29.

Is a chargeback different from cancelling the transaction?

Someone else also posted this regarding filing Arbitration against GoFundMe:

Filing a chargeback with GoFundMe is all well and good, but you can do better. File for arbitration.

If they get a lot of chargebacks then they could lose their account with the bank

Wouldn’t that be ironic...

And I always thought the US of A was our last hope against globalism.

Funny how things work out.

Canadians are tough and resilient when we are challenged…that includes our minority communities too.

Time for the Freedom Convoy to change it up a bit.

If I was helping organize, I would get minority communities on board. Especially those who rely on truckers.

Natives in isolated communities for example. Use $ donations to load up dozens of trucks, drive those trucks to those communities and replace the government support.

Our tax dollars can be better spent when used for direct support.

Food banks…same thing.

Supply the citizens with what they rely on government for, and then shut it all down.

Government has replaced church and charity support with skimming and corruption of our tax dollars. Time to take that back.
