Ottawa City Councillor Demands Government Seize $7 Million Raised By Canadian Truckers
GoFundMe famously caved last week under an immense public backlash and decided to release the first tranche of the millions of dollars raised on the platform to support the Canadian truckers and their “Freedom Convoy” which led a massive protest in Ottawa over the weekend to protest Canada’s draconian COVID-related restrictions. The protest seems to have already had some impact on Canadian society, since the Governor of Quebec just yesterday abandoned plans to impose a “health tax” on unvaccinated residents, before whipping out the conciliatory rhetoric about bridge-building.
Unfortunately for the Truckers and their supporters, the Canadian government hasn’t stopped trying to end the protest by any means necessary, including – if they must – seizing money that was lawfully raised in a public setting.
To wit, Mathieu Fleury, the Ottawa City Councillor of Rideau-Vanier Ward, announced support Wednesday for the government to launch a legal challenge to seize the remaining GoFundMe donations that had been collected online. He made the announcement in a tweet from his public account, which was set to private shortly after as it was inundated by a wave of supporters voicing their objections to this latest egregious example of government encroachment on liberty.
SO…what will they do ?
They will have to return the money to the sender obviously
We will just use another no corrupt platform…perhaps the one used by Rebel News
They are like Fish On a Hook…
Every Move they make just sets the hook deeper IMO
Hold the Line
K2 this story is days old and the ottawa Counsellor deleted his tweet..Do you have confirmation the Funds are “seized” ?
NO – the funds are NOT seized. They are being HELD pending review of GO FUND ME TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
My interpretation is GO FUND ME is backed into a corner and looking for a way out.

The have had the same stance since the beginning
The organizers don’t seem concerned
They have Lawyers and Accountants
1 Million has already been distributed
As I understand it the Review is common practice for all GFM accounts
This is NOT the same review as yesterday’s review — this is a new review.
As far as I can tell there has been no update yet from the organizers on todays changes – HOWEVER – the GO FUND ME page is SHUT DOWN and under review by GO FUND ME.
Too many chefs in the kitchen — this is a dynamic situation.
We need clarification from Tamara as the trucker interface to GO FUND ME.
It’s EASY to follow the spot status — just go to the website –> https://www.gofundme.com/f/taking-back-our-freedom-convoy-2022
