GiveSendGo Will Ignore Ontario Government’s Order To Freeze Donations To Freedom Convoy Truckers

The tyrannical government of Canada is now coming after GiveSendGo.

The Ontario government said it successfully petitioned a Superior Court Judge to prohibit any donations from the “Freedom Convoy 2022” and “Adopt-a-Trucker” GiveSendGo campaigns to be distributed.

However, in response, GiveSendGo a Christian crowdfunding site replied to the Ontario government by tweeting out “Know this! Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo”.

GiveSendGo would go on to say that they will pay the truckers directly regardless of what the Ontario government says.

Here’s GiveSendGo’s official statement:

The Post Millenial had more on the story:

Christian crowdfunding website, which is hosting the crowdfund for the Freedom Convoy truck drivers, says that it will not be following the orders of the Ontario court to freeze the crowdfund and stop the transfer of funds to the protesters.

The statement comes hours after Doug Ford and the Ontario provincial government moved to freeze the funds of the Freedom Convoy, which was issued by the court for crowdfunding website GiveSendGo to stop the transfer of donations to organizers of the protest movement.

In a statement on social media, GiveSendGo wrote: “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,” the company stated.

Rebel News got the scoop too:

In defiance of the order, the U.S. based organization said that the court has no jurisdiction over its decisions and plans to disburse the funds to the protesters for whom the crowdfund was created.

“Know this! Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo,” the organization stated on Twitter. “All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns, not least of which is The Freedom Convoy campaign.”

As Rebel News reported earlier Thursday, Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford’s office issued the following statement:

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.

The order binds any and all parties with possession or control over these donations.
