GiveSendGo Defies Fascist Canadian Govt. Order to Freeze Freedom Convoy Trucker Funds by Allum Bokhari for Breitbart
Christian-owned funding platform GiveSendGo said it would not comply with an order by a Canadian court to freeze over $8.6 million in donated funds destined for the Canadian truckers’ Freedom Convoy 2022, saying the court has no jurisdiction over the U.S-based company.
The government of the province of Ontario, Canada, led by the ostensibly “conservative” Premier Doug Ford, put in a request with the provincial court to legally freeze the funds — a request that was granted. The Freedom Convoy 2022 campaign has reached $8.6 million with a goal of $16 million to support Canadian truckers as of this writing.
A statement from Doug Ford’s office announced the decision:
Now is your chance to support Gospel News Network.
We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
Today, the Attorney General brought an application in the Superior Court of Justice for an order pursuant to section 490.8 of the Criminal Code prohibiting any person from disposing of, or otherwise dealing with, in any manner whatsoever, any and all monetary donations made through the Freedom Convoy 2022 and Adopt-a-Trucker campaign pages on the GiveSendGo online fundraising platform. This afternoon, the order was issued. It binds any and all parties with possession or control over these donations.
Posting from its official Gab account and also on Twitter, GiveSendGo stated that the courts of Canada have no jurisdiction over the company and that the Freedom Convoy will receive its funds as normal. The company’s statement reads: “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.”

This is the globalist oligarchy’s second attempt to prevent financial aid from reaching the trucker’s revolt, which continues to gain momentum. The first came on February 3, when the leftist-run platform GoFundMe froze $10 million in funds destined for the Freedom Convoy.
After initially trying to redirect the funds to “verified charities,” GoFundMe backed down in the face of public outcry and threats of investigation from Republican state attorneys general in the U.S, saying it would refund donors instead.
In the meantime, the Christian, pro-freedom website GiveSendGo offered to host the Freedom Convoy’s fundraiser. In just a week, the new fundraiser has raised over $8.6 million.
According to the fundraising page, which was set up by organizers of the Freedom Convoy, funds will be dispersed to truckers participating in the protest to aid in the cost of their journey, to cover the cost of fuel, and for food and shelter as needed.
