CBC says convoy was worst display of nazism

No money - no fun.

The crowdfunding platform GoFundMe says it will stop payments to the organizers of Freedom Convoy 2022 because the protest violates its rules on violence and harassment.

The company announced its decision in a blog post Friday evening, just two days after it froze disbursements of the fund.

"GoFundMe supports peaceful protests and we believe that was the intention of the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser when it was first created," the company said in the post.

"We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity."

Pressure from the feds. Imagine if you’re ordered in front of a parliamentary committee and don’t want any trouble with your platform. Go Fund Me is a great concept for fundraising for charitable causes. Look at the Humbolt Broncos fundraising and the due diligence undertaken before money was released. They have to keep it above board or they’d get shut down. Still my opinion is they were coerced by the government.

I heard Ottawa police chief said they wanted the protest gone. I don’t think they can kick them out as long as they aren’t breaking the law. Protests inconvenience people. That is the point.

The military seems to have a better understanding of Nazism than some, including trudeau.

Just listening to the Ottawa police accuse the protestors of various crimes . . . . but so far they haven't accused them of the most heinous crime . . . . kitty juggling. They would lose my support if the kittens ever become airborne.
I shouldn't have said anything, a CBC remote camera crew is probably on their way to the SPCA right now.

Read this for an insight from an actual local resident.

"Last night I learned my new neighbours are not a monstrous faceless occupying mob. They are our moral conscience reminding us – with every blow of their horns – what we should have never forgotten: We are not a country that makes an untouchable class out of our citizens."

Man are the police dumb. They are busy putting up concrete barricades and blocking off streets in QC and Toronto. Well thanks for doing the truckers job for them. Now they can box you idiots in and get out and walk in and still blow the horns.

Every move just makes it worse, just like covid. Instead of just ripping the bandaid off, we have this.

Police and authorities are putting a bandaid on a festering sore with the barricades or even throwing salt on the sore. This thing has gone parabolic and insensed enough of the population at large which the mobile 20% has it from here.
