Trucker convoy organizers provide update on when protests will end, status of GoFundMe donations

Representatives for "Freedom Convoy 2022" and the ongoing protests in Ottawa, Ontario spoke to the media on Thursday afternoon.

One of the principal organizers of the Canada-wide protests, Tamara Leach told the media that the protests in Ottawa will continue until demonstrators see a "clear plan" for the "elimination" of all COVID-19 mandates and restrictions across Canada.

Daniel Bulford - a former RCMP officer and current spokesperson for the "Freedom Convoy 2022" protests - says he has "very reliable information" that nobody directly associated with the protest has been arrested or charged by police, despite reports of multiple arrests relating to the ongoing trucker protests in the nation's capital.

And Keith Wilson, an attorney representing the trucker protesters in Ottawa, confirmed to the media that GoFundMe continues to hold the "bulk" of the money donated over recent days and weeks to the trucker protest movement as it conducts "heightened" diligence to determine where the money is going or what is is intended for.

GoFundMe said Wednesday it has paused and is reviewing the fundraiser for Canada’s trucker convoy that has raised over $10 million to date.

A warning that the fundraiser is “under review” has been posted to its page and donation buttons and a list of previous donors have been removed.

Denmark stopped all restrictions today

[richardyatesyates]

England, France, Ireland, the Netherlands and several Nordic countries have taken steps to end or loosen their restrictions.

[okay]

If you donated to the freedom convoy don't ask for a refund, Issue a credit card charge back, it costs GoFundMe and may put their merchant in jeopardy.

They'll only be there for 2 weeks, just to flatten the curve...

[cgerlach]

why did they edit out the parts where they announced that they were shoveling snow, cleaning garbage, taking care of city monuments and feeding the public

Well played mediates, the grip you have over the average person is slowly slipping much to the horror of your politician overlords. OUT WITH TRUDEAU.

I thought global showed us both sides of the story and this is the first time they did it in years.. kudos

[meggsarchambault]

Oh, now global news decides to actually report reality... That's a surprise.

[PaladinSaris]

Did I just watch the news and see... news...?

[alaskacanoe]

If you made a gofundme donation do a credit card charge back for the total that you gave, including the tip. you may not know it but gofundme takes a percentage for handling fee's. if you want gofundme to still get paid that handling fee, ask for the refund. if want your total donation back, do a credit card charge back.

[djcubical]

Applauds. This is the first time in a very long time since we've seen the corporate media actually give a fair voice to the opposition.

[Evan-dcmt]

Thank you global for giving an honest edit .

[karinasaarenpaa]

The majority of all Canadians support this!!!

[katiemcgrath]

@Global News Why did you cut out the part of Daniel's talk where he talked about how the truckers have been feeding the homeless, shoveling snow, picking up garbage and their implementing security to stand guard at the monuments to protect them? Odd how that was cut out. I'm deeply disappointed in you Global.

Full interview can be found a CPAC where you can hear everything Daniel said.

[orcaservicos]

It’s so rare Global brings this way.

From CBC is impossible.
