Bigger than you see anywhere. Even FOX and Rebel news can't really show you the sheer size and support.

From the first video of convoy leaders (hillperson shared, Page 15) -
they addressed the 2 central problems of, 1) deliberate lack of balanced reporting in mainstream Canadian news,
AND, 2) their “legacy” politicians (BOTH parties, not 1) - the very problems experienced in the U.S.

In the U.S., 1) mainstream news has LOST trust+respect, 2) the term “career politicians” is used.

One undeniable example of how effective mainstream “news” is at IGNORING reports as they so choose is the ANNUAL MARCH FOR LIFE in D.C., annual since 1974. i believe only 1 U.S. president acknowledged MFL.

History: March for Life

Referendum on mainstream reporting AND legacy politicians:
It appears these truckers, and their supporters in Canada are peacefully passing a referendum on free speech, free assembly,
AND balanced, non-partisan news and politics.

It’s NOT Canada, alone, or first. Canada’s convoy is specially resonating around the globe.

Not violent. (we’ll say they are, anyway)
Not political. (we’ll say they are, anyway)
Not pirating public treasuries. (we’ll ignore this part)
Not passing laws to push onto school children via mandates at taxpayer expense. (must ignore, this is our M.O.)

They are obviously domestic terrorists! ^^ They must be tracked and stopped! :shock:

This should keep academia busy with databases for years. :lol:

Looks like Go Fund Me is at it again.

“GoFundMe Has Removed The Viral Canadian Trucker Protest Campaign For Violating Its Rules On Violence”
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/br ... e-campaign

“Trucker convoy fundraiser removed from GoFundMe”
https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/trucker-c ... -1.5768824

In the past, it’s been reported, they cancel accounts, return donations - without warning or opportunity for defense.
In this case, the donations MAY be given to charities?? (i have no proof or details.)

i don’t like, do not trust GFM.

They removed the Freedom Truckers Fund for violating its rules on violence ??? They allow Black Live Matter organizations to use their GFM format.

From what I understand, GFM initially said they will donate the Freedom Trucker's Fund money to charities of their choosing. However I suspect they realized they might be in for a major lawsuit. They have since said that all the money donated will be refunded. Interestingly this whole hullabaloo about the truckers and GFM, will now garner more money and support for the truckers.

Hopefully you are right. It seems every time something like this happens it backfires on the left.

The people are waking up

When people donate (or even pay required taxes) for designated purposes, there should be no pirating, or “Robin Hood” distortion of those funds! No matter “good intentions.”

The funds should be returned directly to the donors, or taxpayers. No middle man. No side trips.

There should be NO perception that those funds can become a “SLUSH FUND” for “whatever.”
It’s theft, piracy. A bad path.

This idea that all funds are “up for grabs” by the loudest or most popular noise is a perversion that should be identified+not allowed.

2015 .. and others, since:

“GoFundMe Shuts Down Fundraising Page for Oregon Bakery Owners”
https://thegoodnewstoday.org/gofundme-s ... ry-owners/

Be cautious about fund raising sites. Take nothing for granted.
As time passes, GFM has absorbed some other sites. Check them out each time before donating.

- - - - - - -

The idea of cutting off bank accounts, access to fuel, water, etc., is a common tactic in times of war, terrorists, etc.
Proceed with great caution.
:shock:

http://givesendgo.com will be accepting donations, but their website seems to be having challenges handling the volume right now.

GoFundMe has made it clear they only want to support liberal causes and are anti-conservative. No conservative minded person should use them (unless you want your donation stolen).

If you are a liberal, by all means, use GoFundMe.

It’s a graphic yardstick for comparing the (present) difference in power between the left+right.

GFM is so normalized, it’s the standard go-to “everyone” defaults to, even those who refuse to use it.
It’s an attractive, recognizable, effective, successful label.

Buyer beware.

It's part of the ongoing attempts to basically criminalise not being left-wing. If you're right-wing (such as the trucker convoy in Canada), the Prime Minister will denounce you as "anti-Semitic", "racist", "homophobic", and "transphobic" - despite the trucker convoy being about none of these things.

Eventually, those of us who do not want to enthusiastically become liberals may have to accept the left denouncing us as racist, transphobic, homophobic, etc. - whether we want to be or not. The truth will not matter to them.
