GoFundMe “Seizes” Millions Raised For Canadian Truckers

Introduction by Dee McLachlan

In an extraordinary move, GoFundMe is withholding millions of dollars raised for Canadian truckers protesting against vaccine mandates.

Donations to the GoFundMe page “Freedom Convoy 2022” had reached C$10 million ($7.9m; £5.8m), with about C$1 million released so far to organisers. But now they are claiming the protestors are violating their terms of service.

What about the government violating human rights for forcing humanity into an “experiment” that actually kills people. You roll the dice with this gene therapy — the CDC figures attest to that.

GoFundMe is happy to seize (steal?) the funds dedicated by individuals towards supporting the truckers, but are happy to fund a satanic temple fundraiser.

“Former members of The Satanic Temple – Washington are being unjustly targeted during a pandemic by the International Council. We need your help! On April 16, the first of four ex-members of The Satanic Temple – Washington Chapter were physically served papers for a lawsuit claiming damages to the tune of nearly $150,000 for defamation, computer hacking, cyberpiracy, tortious interference with business expectancy, and unfair competition. We are seeking funds to cover our legal expenses while we fight this case in federal district court.”

They have raised $19,000 so far.

Meanwhile, the Freedom Convoy has been rallying since last weekend, and more protests are expected in Toronto and Ottawa. In a statement, the crowdfunding website said it would withhold the donations already made, and refund donors who fill out a request form.  (Get in quickly, the offer only applies until the 19th of February)

The BBC claims “A recent opinion poll by Abacus Data found 68% of Canadians felt they had “very little in common” with the protesters, while 32% said they “had a lot in common” with the truckers… On Friday Ottawa police announced a new “surge and contain” strategy…”

Epoch Times reported:

“The GoFundMe fundraising platform said Feb. 5 it will automatically refund donations made to a trucker convoy in Canada protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates after backlash. GoFundMe said Friday it was preventing the funds from going to organizers of the Freedom Convoy and would instead send the money to “established charities verified by GoFundMe.”

“The justification for the unusual move? ‘We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity,’ GoFundMe said. The website didn’t provide any evidence of the alleged violence or unlawful activity.

“Jon Carpay, president of Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedom, a legal group representing the convoy organizers, told The Epoch Times that the fundraising company ‘has no credibility’ without making the evidence public. Organizers told a briefing that police officers were using measures typically utilized by ‘oppressive regimes’ to try to take away the truckers’ ‘right of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression’ and media reports and officials were falsely linking crimes committed by outsiders with the protesters.”

  1. Yes,
    Reminds me of the Australian bushfire collections for the people a few years ago.
    The Red Cross did not come out with any credibility and other money was handicapped by bureaucracy.
    Clearly, the charity rip off needs some tidying up.
    If I donate money for earthworms, I would expect that they be fed with bs and I want a acknowledgement from the cattle with a accounting for administration rip offs.

    • Reminds me, did Senator Bishop et. al., receive any accounting for the tens of millions of our tax money going to the Hilary Clinton foundation?
      Then there is all the money given to the globalist control freaks at the UN whose purpose is to destroy Australia’s democracy and sovereignty.
      Start saying no. Defund our politician traitors.

    • I once donated money for “save the orangutan orphans of Borneo” and they told me they spent the money on buying two Queensland shark fishing licenses. End result, I won’t give anything to any charity again. Of course the government will manufacture new shark fishing licenses any time it feels the need, or if they think someone will buy them.

    • There is a worthwhile meme, charity belongs at home.
      btw, how much charity was presented by our bureaucrats and politicians reducing their income, say over one hundred thousand, by forgiving 20% of their income.
      Right, we are all in this together!!
      R-SOLES AND HYPOCRITES.
      Who is going to vote for one of the present R-Soles?
      Who is to be seen and recognised handing out bs pamphlets for the traitors?
      Answer: the political sucked in village idiots.
      (Been there years ago until I woke up🙈)

      .

  2. The long running Jan 6 story has been getting more attention lately:
    “If there is fraud or large scale irregularities, it would have been appropriate to send those votes back to the legislatures to figure it out. The Dems and RINOs want to take that right away. A great opportunity lost, but not forever, in the meantime our Country is going to hell!,” President Donald Trump stated.

    But if Pence had cancelled the election “result” we might not have had the disastrous experience of Resident Biden, so what is this game being played between Trump and Pence and everyone else.

    Meanwhile in Virginia the Demonrats are going all out to remove voter ID check systems.
    The future would appear to be chaos on every level

    • Because the bulk of the population has been tricked into believing it’s nothing more than harmless entertainment/lifestyle choice and a “majority rules” system is in force.

  3. Surely, there are smart Canadia lawyers to take on this case and not let GoFundMe give the donations intended for truckers’ expenses to GoFundMe selected charities. Imagine how many litres of fuel it took for these truckers to get to Ottawa and then to get back home.

    • The public need a go fund me fund to expose the fraud and to charge the bastards for fraud and embezzlement of public funds.
      😜😜😜
