The Ontario government is freezing access to millions of dollars of Freedom Convoy cash through the Christian fundraising sight GiveSendGo.

Premier Doug Ford’s office said Thursday that Attorney General Doug Downey had brought the application forward, under Section Section 490.8 of the Criminal Code, “prohibiting any person from disposing of, or otherwise dealing with, in any manner whatsoever, any and all monetary donations made through the Freedom Convoy 2022 and Adopt-a-Trucker campaign pages on the GiveSendGo online fundraising platform.”
