Online crowd fundraising site GiveSendGo said on Twitter it will not follow a Canadian court order mandating it stop distributing funds to convoy protesters.

"Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo," the company wrote on Twitter. "All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns."

The Superior Court of Justice in Ontario granted a restraining order requested by the Government of Ontario against the company and others, asking that funds to the protesters be halted — over $8.7 million USD has been raised in one campaign.

Ontario Attorney General spokesperson Brian Gray told CNN the order prohibits, "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."

Rather arrogant and delusional pricks aren't they

[PortTack]

1. I wouldn't bet on the fund raising site to continue. They are aiding and abetting criminals

[SouthernDem4ever]

2. Who are the morons sending money?

Sorry, that was probably a rhetorical question.

[Justice matters.]

10. Plutocrats like Peter Thiel?

Peter Thiel is backing a new generation of Trump-aligned Republicans

Another tech-billionaire asshole... investing in chaos... Trump supporter,

16. Another

reason to tax billionaires out of existence. Can't live on a couple hundred million? Gee, too bad.

3. Next step is to go after the provider who hosts GiveSendGo

4. It's Go Daddy. Nt

[LiberalFighter]

5. Good to know. Now what will Go Daddy do?

[sakabatou]

14. Doubtful they'll do anything.

6. It would appear they have no idea who owns the internet in Canada.

7. Isn't this givesendgo

site a "Christian" based site? I think I read that when they first popped up after the original monies dried up for the truckers on gofundme. If so, that explains the arrogance!

8. What is the Vig this crowd source website is charging?

20% for the hosting house? Oh those charitable Xtians.

[Justice matters.]

9. Methinks they're looking for BIG Troubles...

BIG BAD troubles...

A White House official says members of the Biden administration held a series of high level calls with their Canadian counterparts, urging them to use their federal powers to end the blockades, offering the full support of the Department of Homeland Security.

11. Big troubles indeed!

12. GiveSendGo is right

"Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo," the company wrote on Twitter.

That much is true. While the money is in the US, that site can manage it, bank it, shunt it around internal accounts, make bookkeeping entries, count pennies in their vault, etc.


But ...


The Canadian government can control funds like that when they come across the border. They have the power to seize money that would go to criminal enterprises.

13. I doubt there is a bank that wants to be associated with this

I can only assume they will soon lose the ability to process payments.

15. The right wingnutz

see that defiance will, for the most part, result in little or no consequences. Refusal to comply has become the order of the day for the right. Government and law enforcement are tongue tied, hornswoggled, befuddled and baffled in response, or, supportive and standing down. If these were POC or progressives non-violently protesting, well,.....
