Is this enough for PM Justin Trudeau to invoke the Emergency Act?  After all it's just a matter of degree.

no quarter, no mercy, no succor for the cowards, sycophants, cronies & traitors who are the Canadian elites

they will be the most hated Canadians in the history of the nation, and their families too

I respect you, because you are a Canadian of yore

but the Canada that you knew & love is gone now

there is nothing you can do to save what is already dead

I'm sorry to have to tell you, sincerely

While I’m not sure how much these “leaders” realize how much they’ve hurt people, it’s their job to know and to have policies and approaches that are fair-minded and respect individual rights and freedoms, especially as these are constitutional.  They crossed lines that make it impossible to respect them as our government.  It’s as though a neighbour assaulted a family member or friend. That neighbour’s presence around family and friends is now too uncomfortable to endure.  This three year pact between the Liberals and NDP, de facto coalition government, is an affront.

Remember "occupy Wallstreet?"

They call it mainstream media because that is the media people read /watch. The reason people read / watch those media outlets is because they are usually reliable because they have professional journalists who back up what they report with strong evidence. When a news outlet makes too many mistakes or show overt bias, they are no longer credible. 

Sooo...this means both the Canadian MSM and you have lost all credibility?

Almost $8M of 'Freedom Convoy' donations still unaccounted for

The convoy protest in Ottawa raised more than $20 million over its three-week occupation of the city's downtown. Court filings show how protest organizers spent their money, and how much of it remains unspent or unaccounted for.

A report filed by KSV Restructuring Inc., the third-party agent responsible for overseeing recovered money, shows it is holding a little under $2 million of the roughly $24 million raised by various campaigns supporting the weeks of occupation of downtown Ottawa streets.

Most of the money in escrow stems from Tamara Lich, the convoy leader who had access to the majority of the money through her role in organizing the protest, for which she has since been charged. The crowdfunding efforts she led raised nearly $10.1 million from 120,000 donors before donations were suspended.

The website used to raise that money, GoFundMe, then returned most of those funds to the original donors as of Feb. 5, the company said.

"All refunds were initiated via our payment processing partner, including all transaction processing fees and tips, and those funds were returned to donors in the subsequent days," it said in a statement.

The almost $1.4 million that remained in Lich's possession was transferred into escrow and that makes up the bulk of the more than $1.5 million held by KSV Restructuring.

Unclear where GiveSendGo funds have gone

It's not clear where most of the money raised through GiveSendGo has gone. Fundraisers launched on the U.S.-based site raised more than $12 million.

Recently filed court documents show $4.25 million is being held by a payment processing company, but the remaining $7.75 million is unaccounted for.

 

CBC

During a March 9 court appearance, GiveSendGo co-founder and chief financial officer Jacob Wells said donations would be returned to donors.

Some donors to the GiveSendGo site confirmed to CBC they received a refund, while others said they had not.

When asked by CBC, the company refused to disclose the total amount reimbursed to donors.

Two fundraisers on the site were responsible for raising money for the protests: the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser raised almost $12.2 million from nearly 113,000 donations, while a second Adopt a Trucker fundraiser raised $739,308.87 from 8,375 donations.

More crypto captured, most still evades capture

Roughly $419,316 in digital currencies was moved into escrow between March 7 and March 22 from three class-action respondents. The remaining digital currency raised as part of convoy fundraisers continues to evade authorities.

The main account associated with protesters raised 20.7 bitcoin (worth almost $1.1 million Cdn) but as of March 29, only 7.6 bitcoin (worth $419,316 Cdn) had been secured by the escrow agent.

 

YouTube

Most of the digital currency was drained from its original source, with one main self-professed crypto organizer posting videos of himself handing access information directly to convoy supporters in downtown Ottawa.

Following court documents and bitcoin movements online, CBC News pieced together a partial but elaborate web of transactions where large sums were dispersed into hundreds of virtual wallets.

Authorities are believed to be tracking the movements of those wallets, but the identities of those who received them remain largely unknown to the public.

Details on how Lich handled convoy funds

In a sworn affidavit filed in court, Lich said she was involved in the creation of the crowdfunding campaign for the "Freedom Convoy" on the GoFundMe platform.

She said she used a personal TD bank account, which had no balance, as the designated account to hold funds donated to GoFundMe.

An email address was set up to accept donations, which also went into a personal account belonging to her. At the time, she was the only person with access to the donations.

In late January, a "finance committee" was formed and protest organizers, including Lich, set up a "Freedom Convoy Code of Conduct," a "Letter to Captains," and a registration form to participate in the protest.

On Jan. 30, organizers looked to further formalize the "Freedom Convoy" by incorporating a not-for-profit corporation, Freedom Corp.

 

Patrick Doyle/Reuters

When GoFundMe released $1 million of donated funds on Feb. 2, it did so into Lich's personal account she designated for the protest.

Lich's affidavit states "this was done because Freedom Corp. did not have a bank account and time was of the essence to start funding those we raised donations for."

Two days after sending her $1 million, GoFundMe said it closed the campaign, citing violations of its rules on violence and harassment, with all remaining donations being returned directly to individual donors.

Lich said that the same day she received the GoFundMe money, a "hold" was placed on her account associated with the Freedom Convoy. She said the bank didn't prevent money from being deposited into the account, but funds could not be withdrawn.

While she had access to the money provided by GoFundMe, Lich said she completed approximately $26,000 in transactions.

She spent $13,000 on bulk fuel purchases and another $13,000 was "withdrawn in cash and utilized for various purposes," she said.

It's not unaccounted for.  Her lawyer and accountants have all stated what is happening with the funds.

I posted the interview with the accountant here a while ago.

The blatantly biased Liberal newspaper The Toronto Star is openly describing how the Biden administration and our Liberal-NDP dictatorship can introduce further totalitarian measures to silence opposition and paint millions of people who raise legitimate concerns about unconstitutional policies as “right wing extremists”.  It wasn’t enough to crush the protesters legally, personally, and financially.  Now further police powers and legal latitude are being sought in joint U.S.-Canada diplomatic meetings.  I wonder how effectively these powers will be used against populations in the future, especially when combined with anti-free speech laws like Bill C-11.

being an extreme monarchist is a badge of honor in a monarchy

the Liberals & NDP are simply a cabal of Communist traitors against their own Crown, who knew ?

The woke-green international totalitarian movement is certainly Marxist-nihilist.  It’s in our government, education systems, and corporations.  Disney just got caught.  My guess is that soon exemptions from pseudoscientific beliefs like there are over 100 genders or that people’s incomes and jobs should be based primarily on race or other superficial markers will no longer be respected.

Basically any critique of woke-green ideology will be painted as colonial-patriarchal-racist, etc., including religion, democracy, and capitalism.  The move is collectivist and ideological.  It’s about shutting down people’s traditions, cultures, and beliefs, replacing them with Marxist-nihilist  post-nationalism, banning opposition, taking people’s income/property, and distributing it to whomever the state deems deserving.

inflation is already bringing them down

there is no escaping the debt trap

either prices burn out of control, or interest rates do

either way, the current Liberal - NDP regime will not survive the crisis

not that the Conservatives will do much for you, but this ultra leftist governance is simply unsustainable

Is anyone else seeing what's happening in China? ?

People are losing everything to lockdowns and restrictions -  now mass suicides, people jumping off buildings, hanging themselves  in stairwells, pet dogs being beaten to death in the streets, green mesh bags of pet cats on sidewalks, screaming while they wait for death.

When.  Will.  You.  Covid.  Nazis.  Be.  Happy.

Not us, chickadee - most of Canada's restrictions are gone and nobody is clamoring for resumption.  There's been no dogs beaten by a health care worker, no cats in green mesh bags, nobody throwing themselves off buildings.

If you have a problem with China's policies, take it up with them instead of calling Canadians Nazis.

Weren't you moving to the States or something?  How's that going?

NOBODY is clamoring for restrictions in Canada, eh???????  You should tell the government, because they say it's you guys clamoring for them and they're just giving you what you want.  And all those mask Nazis assaulting people on the streets for not wearing masks......No, no, my dear.  Geez, how many right here on this board have said they don't want the restrictions to end - quite a few of you.

Well, since Trudeau is a great admirer of China's dictatorship and the world followed China's lead in lockdowns and restrictions and ignored the world's pandemic response, how long do you think before they start clubbing family pets here?

And don't act like you wouldn't applaud it. Dialamah either.  You'd both be first in line with a shovel to bash family pets.

It's more the Chinese people - mass suicides.  And yes, I've been there and I loved the Chinese people, they were very good to me.

2.  Antimask Nazis, like you, have been attacking people and business owners since day one - or does your one-sided media not mention that?

3.  Cite.

BTW, a clue for you - Provinces, not Trudeau, impose mask-wearing, vaccination passports and other restrictions for their Province.  You don't like them, call Kenney a dictator/Nazi/whatever.
