Ontario Court Freezes Donations to Truckers' Protest from GiveSendGo
It's obviously all about power
A couple days ago we obliterated the idea that ‘private companies’ weren’t being ordered around by government when the Freedom Convoy’s money was ‘stolen’ by GoFundMe at the order of the Canadian government.
The truckers quickly moved their fundraising to GiveSendGo, (If you don’t like GoFundMe’s rules go somewhere else, they said) once again raising vast sums of cash to help the protest.
But tyrants gonna tyrant, and the donations have been frozen once again.
The Ontario government says it has successfully petitioned a court to freeze access to millions of dollars donated through online fundraising platform GiveSendGo to the convoy protesting COVID-19 restrictions in Ottawa and at several border crossings.
The province obtained an order from the Superior Court of Justice that prohibits anyone from distributing donations made through the website's “Freedom Convoy 2022” and “Adopt-a-Trucker” campaign pages, said a spokeswoman for Premier Doug Ford.
Ivana Yelich said the order binding “any and all parties with possession or control over these donations” was issued Thursday afternoon.
Are you starting to see the appeal of bitcoin? The truckers are. And government better be extremely careful not to push more people into ‘the wild west’ of crypto.
Organizers have also touted the cryptocurrency Bitcoin as another way to generate funds for protesters and avoid other potential fundraising shutdowns, including during a news conference that was livestreamed to supporters on Wednesday.
Give credit to GiveSendGo, they aren’t taking this lying down. (If you want to get depressed, just look at how many comments are mentioning ‘illegal behavior’. These are the people who would have turned in Anne Frank.)
Who cares what the Twitter comments say? Twitter is 80% bots, 15% paid trolls, 4% NPCs, and 1% "blue checkmark" regime propagandists.
Hopefully this will wake more people up, when they realise their money can just be taken on a whim.
