GiveSendGo said on Twitter that it won’t comply with the Canadian court order to not give over $8.6 million in donated funds to the group that is aiding truckers in their protest against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s vaccine mandates.
“Know this! Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo,” the group wrote. “All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns, not least of which is The Freedom Convoy campaign.”
Since the protesting convoy arrived in Ottawa more than two weeks ago, similar convoys have popped up across the globe as workers rise up against their governments’ Covid-19 restrictions. In Canada, truckers are now blocking three border crossings with the United States as of early Saturday morning.
Also on Friday, BBC reported that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted the city of Windsor and the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association an injunction that orders the truckers to end the gridlock on the Windsor Ambassador Bridge connecting Windsor to Detroit. On early Saturday morning the bridge was still blockaded.
Numerous smaller American convoys have cropped up from Alaska to Florida in support of the Canadian truckers.
There appears to be a new American convoy starting soon, truckers in the United States northern states said on Friday they would soon hit the road on the I-90 corridor, which is the longest Interstate Highway in the United States, spanning 3,020 miles across 13 states from Washington state to the northeastern states. The convoy is apparently starting in Spokane, Wash. and ending in Washington, D.C. Details were scarce on Friday night.
