After the Ontario government got GoFundMe to drop the Freedom Convoy’s donation campaign, GiveSendGo stepped up to the plate to give people a place to donate.

Now it’s being reported that the government in Ontario has gotten the courts to freeze the donations given through GiveSendGo:

 

 

 
Here’s more from Global News:

The Ontario government says it has successfully petitioned a court to freeze access to millions of dollars donated through online fundraising platform GiveSendGo to the convoy protesting COVID-19 restrictions in Ottawa and at several border crossings.

The province obtained an order from the Superior Court of Justice that prohibits anyone from distributing donations made through the website’s “Freedom Convoy 2022” and “Adopt-a-Trucker” campaign pages, said a spokeswoman for Premier Doug Ford.

Ivana Yelich said the order binding “any and all parties with possession or control over these donations” was issued Thursday afternoon. She cited a section of the Criminal Code that allows the attorney general to apply for a restraint order against any “offence-related property.”

Hundreds of semi-trucks rolled into downtown Ottawa two weeks ago to protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates and health restrictions and now trucks are also blockading border crossings in Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario.

Donors initially raised more than $10 million through GoFundMe, which announced last Friday it was pulling the plug on the campaign and that the money would be refunded. The site said it initially believed the demonstration was going to be peaceful, but withdrew its support after police and local leaders raised concerns it had become an “occupation.”

Convoy organizers quickly set up new campaigns on Christian fundraising site GiveSendGo. As of Thursday, “Freedom Convoy 2022” had raised $US8.4 million and “Adopt-a-Trucker” had amassed more than $686,000.

The crowdfunding site did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Is this Canada or China? Because it sounds an awful lot like something China would do. After all, down here this would be considered a freedom of speech issue. But I guess Canada really is more communist than we thought.

Hey, I’ve got an idea. Why not just get rid of these ridiculous mandates and the trucker convoy will just disappear. No more worry about donations and gas an honking.
