Subject: Canada Truck Convoy, what to think about it?
If Trudeau had the choice between caving in on the mandates or having his government toppled, which would he choose? I’m not sure what is so important about getting the last 10% vaccinated now that omicron seems to have run its course. Unless this is all about demonstrating the limits of government authority…in which case dissent must be crushed at all costs.

Yeah Ok
Well, all these Ottawans today with babies in tow are Trump's agents? And middle ages women and men, and college-aged people and all those cars downtown and people with flags? Do they know they work for Trump?

Nutjob. And 90% of Canadian truckers are vaccinated. This isn’t about vaccines it’s about mandates. Do try and at least keep up.

The uproar temporarily shut down the GFM profile on Trustpilot Pilot as donors bombarded the site with GFM complaints. Internet posters urged donors to call their credit card companies or PayPal to dispute the charge for their donation; this would result in a chargeback to GFM at $15 a pop.
At 2 am this morning GFM released a statement that said, "due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process and automatically refunding donations."
They could have done this at the outset, but I guess the irony of using the trucker funds to fund charities whose views align more with GFM management and owners than with the trucker supporters was just too delicious for GFM to pass up.
And, now, there are several state AG's looking into GFM and the action they initially took.
Should be fun to watch how this plays out down the road.
I am another who will never donate to another cause on this platform. Too bad, because we have contributed to some very worthy causes in the past.
Saw this today.... and while funny, there is some truth here.
Good. Hope they burn for this.

Its kind of sad so many people still think you can use the tools of the system to challenge the system. They probably still think they have Constitutional rights or that the police are there to protect them.
Agreed.
The parallel economy is on it’s way. And things like this just incrementally accelerate it.

Not ONLY did they pull the account, but they’re going to give the $9M in donations to other causes UNLESS these idiots that donated to it specifically request a refund by Feb 19th using a special form, lol!
These morans are all to stupid to figure out how to get there money back, so most of it will go to other funding efforts for things they probably hate, ha!
More fleesing of the rubes!!! I love it!!!
How is this okay? Is it in GoFundMe's terms of service?
if it is, then they are being terribly inconsistent with enforcing their terms of service since the Seattle Chop Zone GoFundMe was not taken down.
