GiveSendGo Tells Canadian Officials What to Do With Their Order Stopping Donations to the Freedom Convoy
By Bonchie | Feb 11, 2022 9:00 AM ET

As RedState reported last night, the Ontario government garnered an order from a judge barring donations through GiveSendGo to the Freedom Convoy in Canada. That came after GoFundMe shut down a fundraiser meant to support the effort, forcing donors to another platform.

In a refreshing development, GiveSendGo, a Christian-based fundraising site, has responded the right way. Instead of kowtowing to the dictates of out-of-control authorities, they are telling these Canadian officials what they can do with their order.

Just trying to understand the Canadian system here.  A Provincial attorney general can write up a law and get a judge to approve it without having to go through the legislature?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The AG isn't writing up a law and getting a judge to "enact it".  The AG is proceeding under section 490.8 of the criminal code, which permits the AG to "make an application in accordance with this section for a restraint order under this section in respect of any offence-related property."

So, the question then becomes, how are these contributions "offence-related property"?

And, even if they are, what jurisdiction does the AG have to enforce the order?  Unless givesendgo - which appears to be a Delaware limited liability company - has a presence in Canada, the AG's enforcement powers would presumably be limited to arresting Canadian residents and companies who receive funds, directly or indirectly, from this GiveSendGo fundraiser.  Good luck tracing those funds.
