NEW - GoFundMe says they will now automatically refund anyone who gave money to the trucker convoy within the next 7-10 days. Yesterday, they had said you had to apply for a refund and the money left over would be donated to a charity #cdnpoli #ottnews https://medium.com/...

GoFundMe has pulled down it's “Freedom Convoy 2022” page & says no further funds will be released. “Following a review of relevant facts ... this fundraiser is now in violation of ... Term 8, which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment...” https://medium.com/...
