Crowd fundraising site says they will defy Canadian court order to stop disbursing funds to convoy protesters
CNN
Online crowd fundraising site GiveSendGo said on Twitter it will not follow a Canadian court order mandating it stop distributing funds to convoy protesters.
"Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo," the company wrote on Twitter. "All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns."
The Superior Court of Justice in Ontario granted a restraining order requested by the Government of Ontario against the company and others, asking that funds to the protesters be halted — over $8.7 million USD has been raised in one campaign.
