GiveSendGo tells court it is refunding convoy donations amid freezing order
CTV News ^ | March 09, 2022 | Erika Ibrahim

OTTAWA -- Lawyers for a proposed class-action lawsuit against the convoy protest in Ottawa argued in court Wednesday that GiveSendGo may be in breach of a freezing order on funds raised for the convoy on the website.

Monique Jilesen, a lawyer representing the proposed class and who obtained an injunction that froze convoy funds, said the order is meant to secure funds so the legal issue of how they should be used can be dealt with in court.

Parties in the case have agreed to move some donated funds and cryptocurrency into escrow, which could be redistributed to affected Ottawa residents and business owners should the class action succeed.

It shames me that so many of my fellow Canadians still utterly *refuse* to see that this is what tyranny looks like...

Which is non of his or the Canadian dictatorship's business.
And Trudeau had the temerity to attack Putin yesterday for being a dictator when Trudeau himself is one of the biggest dictators on the planet?

I have tried to open the eyes of some extended family. We didn’t see each other much, but were in contact a lot via phone/computer. It was the most frustrating experience. It didn’t matter how many articles, how much information, it fell of deaf ear. I just wanted so much for them to please stop getting all the jabs, at least hold off on them. Nope - lots of jabs, even the kids.

I was eventually told they had no interest in hearing about it any longer, that they just wanted to live their lives in peace. So I leave them alone. Something divides people permanently when this happens.

So they want to steal the donated money and give it to people they favor instead. Nice.

At least they didn’t try to keep the donations, unlike GoFundMe.

Fully Automated Luxury Communism.

It isn’t tyranny until it impacts me personally.

Sucks to be you, though...

Involuntary redistribution of wealth and a mockery of the entire concept of "giving." Boots on the face... forever.

As I said before, free health care is not free, like with Facebook, it is free because it is you the product...

Health care is a major spearhead of colonization. What they did to Canadians , they did to natives there, in Morocco and elsewhere:

Ban cannabis, sell it back with patents to a national health care behemoth. They steal the medicine parent patents of natives, destroy their way of life and industry and then force them to buy pills to replace that from the government.

This is a racist movement. This class action is baseless, and your relatives signed on with the devil.

Are you perhaps thinking of Gofundme? GiveSendGo wants to give the money back to the donors.

This mRNA turns up in liver and ovaries becomes DNA sometimes

My hunch is people are going to rot from inside of it. This parasitic medicine pretty much sums up the current health care.

Are you hiding truckers up in your attic like Anne Frank?

It may come to that ...

Hmmm…. Maybe BLM is liable for damages - not that any of the hundreds of millions is still there.

They’re trying to protect the money from the government. The headline is misleading.

In any event, this story underscores the futility of giving money to GoFundMe or GiveSendGo or any such organizations. Just don’t do it.

The government will find a way to steal it

I will never donate to anything again. What’s the use? Now a days your donation may end up anywhere but what you donated to.

I was among those who said at the beginning that these Canadian truckers were taking a big chance out of naiveté. They left the government no room to save face while accommodating them, and they made a concentrated target of themselves. A decentralized independent truckers’ strike would have created far more pressure on the government with no way to exert counter-pressure on the protestors. The truckers’ lost earnings would have been small potatoes compared to what this is going to cost every one of them.

This is live and learn stuff for the populist side. The next necessary response will have to skip gentle measures and go right to tactics that make things harder in the short term for everybody. The elitists can then remember how harshly they punished people who went way out on a limb to offer an easier way out.
