Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

New Leak Suggests Most Users Funding Canada's 'Freedom Convoy' Reside in U.S.

https://gizmodo.com/givesendgo-leak-fre ... 1848534782

The data was leaked Sunday night during the Super Bowl by a hacker who defaced GiveSendGo’s website, sending visitors to a separate site with a video that accused the company of trying to foment insurrection in Ottawa. A link to the data set was provided alongside the video.

GiveSendGo has previously hosted campaigns raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for members of the street-brawling neo-fascist group Proud Boys, including to fund travel to Washington, DC, ahead of the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection, and afterward to defend members of the group from federal charges connected with the siege.

A lot of the money funding anti-oil protests in Canada comes from the USA too, but nobody in the anti-oil camp ever seemed to be bothered by that.

People from all over the world donated money to the BLM protests, and it was seen as an act of solidarity, rather than any sort of meddling in another country’s affairs.

Good point.

I think that some of the concern is that now a state of emergency has been declared and there are court orders prohibiting the blocking of critical infastructure, any funding of the convoy is prohibited and bank accounts are being frozen, trucks being confiscated and arrests being made.

But ya good point.

I hate to play Hypocrisy Bingo, but the GoFundMe pages for BLM never got taken down or leaked. Funny that.

Also, this malarkey again:

The views of the majority prevailed. All mandates to be lifted.

Ya this guy sounds a little unhinged. But good on him if he hacked into the illegal funding of an illegal seige.

No

Not happening because of the convoy. The pandemic is subsiding. That's apparent. Many health officials have advised that they think restrictions can be eased.

Not going to spend time researching at this point, but the data I would think points in that direction and the majority view hasn't prevailed.
