Go Fund Me took the Canadian truckers money and will be giving it to their approved charities.

Neither has he.

Vaccination policy will add to supply chain issues: Truckers - Auto Service World

A vaccination policy for cross-border travellers will impact the supply chain, as a chunk of the trucking workforce will exit the industry, warned the Canadian Trucking Alliance. The U.S. and Canada have said all cross-border travellers, including truck drivers, must provide proof of COVID-19...

90% of Canadian truckers are vaccinated.

What exactly are they protesting?

It's better than that. They are protesting the Canadian mandate that truckers must be vaccinated to come into Canada. Say it affects their livelyhood. But of course, they would have to be vaccinated to get in the US in the first place. logic fail.

I did.

we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities chosen by the Freedom Convoy 2022 organizers and verified by GoFundMe.

If I received a whole lot of money from a large group of people for the explicit purpose of sending it to a specific group of people but I decided to shift it to a totally different group of people, then I would end up in jail.

Now, it is true that GoFundMe has some rather broad terms of service (like a lot of these sites) and they supposedly are offering refunds, but terms of service are not ironclad legally.

It's in the agreement you signed with them.

Perhaps not. Sue them. I have a feeling they will not win.

It's funny that so many want to place all blame on GoFundMe as opposed to those who turned the truckers in.

Technically, that's true. However, originally, only Canada required vaccinations for foreign truckers to enter Canada. The US didn't follow suit until later.

Many of the truckers protesting in Canada are protesting about being forced to vaccinate just to keep their jobs overall, not because of it hindering border crossings.

Terms of service still cannot contradict local laws. Some jurisdictions have restrictive laws regarding consumer rights that effectively nullify conditions in something like a EULA or TOS. A lot of people don't realize this, which is probably why many companies still have broad TOS. Not enough people take them to court, I suppose.

I agree that the cops are culpable as well. However, GoFundMe has a history of screwing people over due to politics. It's why setting up the fund with them was a mistake to begin with. However, not everyone pays attention to how biased many companies are.

That’s a lot of money that conservatives are sending to promote illegal activity.

I've said over and over that I would have never used them to start with. I'm simply countering the idea that they stole the money.

how is it illegal to stand up against an oppressive government??

What illegal activity?

Good grief you loons just post shit to whine. Get a hobby

Here's something else we can do, hopefully to hit GoFuckMe…

• Go to support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/contact/takedown.
• In the “Application package name” field, enter “com.GoFundMe.GoFundMe”.
• In the “Please explain briefly why you flagged the app” field, briefly explain your objection to GoFuckMe's attempt to fraudulently misappropriate money that was attempted to be donated through them. If you feel so moved, you might point out their support for blatant criminal groups such as Black LIES Matter, while falsely accusing the Freedom Convoy of illegal activity as an excuse for their illegal attempt to misappropriate those donations.
• Select “Yes” under “Is the application still available on Google Play?”.
• In the “Link to app in Play Store” field that appears when you perform the above step, enter “https:\\play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.GoFundMe.GoFundMe”, but change the backslashes to forward slashes.
• Fill out other fields, as appropriate.
  • Note that it does seem to require that you upload something at the “Attach a screenshot to help troubleshoot your issue” field. I took a screenshot of the page at https:\\play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.GoFundMe.GoFundMe and uploaded that.

I don't know if it'll actually do any good, but what you are doing with this process is reporting the GoFuckMe app to Google for being inappropriate. A large number of such complaints will surely have to get someone's attention.

While you're there, leave a one-star review for GoFuckMe as well. You may have to download the app to your phone first, to establish with Google that you actually have the app and have a basis to review it, but you can always delete the app immediately afterward, and you don't even have to open it.

I'm fairly sure I called no one a liar but don't expect me to take Fox News word for anything.

Even if they changed their mind, I am right here.

 

[Uriel]

In a legal sense, it's more accurate to say they embezzled the money or attempted to. Embezzlement can involve "misappropriation."

I guess you haven’t seen but these truckers are obstructing roadways.

where else are you going to park a big truck to protest the government??

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I guess you haven’t seen but these truckers are obstructing roadways.

Ooooh that's horrible!!!!!


Get a life....and the truckers made sure a roadway was open you dumbass loon

 

[pknopp]

That would be a stretch to consider that as violent.

There was an awful lot of obstructing highways by BLM over the last 2 years. That didn't seem to bother the media or the left in general.
