A Canadian judge has issued an injunction blocking money for the anti-vaccine trucker protesters in Ottawa collected by the right-wing U.S. Christian fundraising site GiveSendGo.

The Ontario government petitioned for the order from Canada’s Superior Court of Justice, which was issued Thursday. It prohibits “any and all parties with possession or control over these donations” from distributing the money.

The criminal code allows for such an action against any “offense-related property,” meaning assets collected as part of or supporting illegal activity, according to a spokesperson for Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

GiveSendGo defiantly declared in response to the court order: “Know this! Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo.”

1. Who is underwriting this?

Not the sucker money....the big dollar investments....cuz you know there is dark money investing in killing liberal democracy in the US and Canada.

[Farmer-Rick]

20. You know right now the filthy rich who are funding this

Are hiding behind go fund me web type sites, christian organizations and anti-vaxxers groups.

But eventually they are going to come out.

They are recruiting armies to destroy democracy and they are going to start crowing about it. They are proud they can crush democracy. They are going to stand up and say I created this army. I got these people to do my bidding because I'm so smart and powerful.

So watch for these guys to start claiming territory. You'll have the Waltons create a flag and take over the Southeast. You'll have Koch bros marching on territory in the Midwest. These filthy rich hate a peaceful nation and they are going to come out from behind these fake populist and religious groups and declare themselves king.

It's coming.

2. Govt should seize funds to pay workers who have lost weeks of wages

[wnylib]

6. Works for me.

Revoke commercial licenses, too.

[Duppers]

8. Absolutely!

TY!!

[Chicago1980]

3. Seeing as it's international, why wouldn't the judge have jurisdiction?

Perhaps an American judge should do t he same to shut them up.

[Justice matters.]

21. Canadian banks must freeze the funds coming from that site's financial institutions

no matter from which jurisdiction they are transferred.

Beneficiaries located in Canada cannot withdraw them from Canadian banks.

Unlike elsewhere, Canadian banks are subject to their federal charters.

4. They should take the money

and give it to the business these clowns caused to shut down

[live love laugh]

5. That should fix things quickly.

[L. Coyote]

7. Bank freezes accounts with $1.1M for Canadian trucker protest

10. A right wing christian group: because jesus hates Democrats

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. 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.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Since this is wild wild west territory (not like crowdfunding startups regulated by the SEC)

"GiveSendGo" is incorporated in Delaware (like many "banking/financial" institutions) and it's well past time for Congress to start looking into more regulation that goes beyond fraudulent activities because otherwise, these types of entities fall into a donut hole as they are not really considered "charitable" orgs nor "investment" aggregators, and seem to fall outside of the scope of existing regulatory authorities.

And as a note - this same entity was used to fund-raise for the Proud Boys, Kyle Rittenhouse, and Cyber Ninjas' fraudulent contractors.

13. Authoritarian network

and anyone else suspected of doing this should be indicted

[The Jungle 1]

14. Cutting off the money is how you end civil wars.

These people are terrorists and should not be allowed back into the USA.
Also they are fascist who hate Liberal Democracy.
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy that rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. ... Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete. wiki

We win every time the fascists attack us.

15. They also raise money through Bitcoin and other currency.

16. Also, can they seize the trucks of US truckers who crossed the border

To participate in this illegal blockade of Canadian roads and highways, since this isn't a protest.

[PortTack]

17. They have NO right to break international laws. They can make all the proclamations they want

They are the ones that have no jurisdiction!
