The Ottawa Police Department have publicly announced they are a political institution. They sent out a tweet this evening with the announcement:

If the Ottawa police department was not a political activist agency, they would not engage in political activism.
Additionally, the originator of the left-wing effort to target the Freedom Convoy has been identified.
Tracy Kent has promoted this approach on TWITTER:

I’m writing this in case it is helpful to others. I requested a refund from GoFundMe last night. I have a message from GFM (how appropriate; eyeroll) in my in-box this morning stating that they have scratched their earlier plans to distribute remaining funds to the charity of their choice, and that “due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process . . . We will automatically refund your contributions directly – you do not need to submit a request. You can expect to see your refund within 7-10 business days.”
It’s probably wise to go ahead and request a refund just in case. For any truckers/protestors potentially reading this, I intend to quadruple the original amount I donated. I am patiently waiting for the new designated site to be accessible. As long as it takes . . . Thank you for the sacrifice you are making for all of us; even the crazy leftists who have no idea of the tyranny they are ushering in.

@dan613 This Twitter handle is helping Ottawa / Trudeau with very negative events. He is being retweeted by Tracy Kent
Canada, which is 89% white, has a black (sort of) police chief in Ottawa.
How convenient.
Only melanated lives matter. As a leftard.
It looks like Trudeau’s hateful rhetoric is paying off. A lefty ran his van into a bunch of peaceful protestors in Winnipeg Manitoba.
Trudeau is desperate to incite violence that his media fluffers can use to feed their narratives.
With an assist from American media. WaPo reports on how volatile and tense the situation is (paraphrasing). Others have described a scenario which simply doesn’t exist. They reserve their flowery words for when cities are actually burning.

Talk about grasping for anything. Where you a witness and did you take pictures – relevant pictures or is this just another Trudeau ‘fable’.
Tracy seems nice, must live close to the trucks to hear the horns.
She is just a lunatic Karen. They get crazy over a toilet flushing.
Where does it say in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that the police have a duty to stop legal political protests?
Is it on the back somewhere, written in in crayon by PM Blackie?
Several State AG’s are urging their constituents to contact them if they contributed to GFM for the truckers. They are looking into fraud and consumer protection violations. Preserve your documents, GFM.
Good news. Hope it is true.
You can go online and see several AG’s have sent out tweets asking for donaters to contact them.
Ohio’s AG sent me an email with this very statement. Ohio #FreedomConvoy Donors Encouraged to Contact Attorney General Yost(COLUMBUS, Ohio) — Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost wants to hear from Ohioans impacted by GoFundMe’s initial decision to refund or redirect donations given to demonstrators protesting COVID-19 restrictions in Canada.
&t=1644083479&ymreqid=abadb0e8-c6e3-ce67-1cad-fe004401f600&sig=Z_a1Ma3WHX6YmgO_vrtppw–~D
“It is deeply troubling that a professional fundraiser holding donations in trust would think they have the right to unilaterally redistribute donations,” Yost said. “If you’re an Ohioan that donated to the #FreedomConvoy through GoFundMe, I want to hear from you.”
On Friday, the crowdfunding site GoFundMe announced it would redirect donations raised for demonstrators protesting COVID-19 measures in Canada, after the organization determined that the efforts had violated the site’s terms of service due to unlawful activity. The fund had grown to around $10 million Canadian dollars or $7.8 million U.S. dollars.
“GoFundMe is bowing to public outrage by not directly distributing funds as they were intended,” Yost said. “I want to verify that GoFundMe isn’t playing God with other people’s money.”
GoFundMe has now reversed its earlier course and announced it will refund every dime of this fundraising drive automatically, without demand, thereby eliminating the possibility of “redirecting” donations with the consent of the donor.
“While that is a welcomed move, I am still interested in collecting information to make sure such things do not happen in the future,” Yost said. “Ohioans rely on their platform to do good, and their intentions and hopes should be honored.”
The Attorney General directed the agency’s Consumer Protection team to review GoFundMe’s terms of service to assess compliance with Ohio law. Consumers who donated to the cause should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office by filing a consumer complaint online or by calling 800-282-0515.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Section protects Ohioans from predatory and illegal business practices. The section enforces laws that prohibit unfair and deceptive practices including but not limited to: false advertising, shoddy workmanship, and failure to perform services or to deliver goods.

AG of Mi is so out of touch she could care unless it involves getting drunk then she right there with her mug.
Police setting up new cement barriers to block the blockade. All the while people are visiting, walking around eating food that had been set out. laughing. Perhaps its a way of intimadating. The world is watching.
The Police (gov’t) actively working with private companies (GoFundMe) = Fascism. By definition!
You are completely correct. However, be assured that it has been going on for DECADES in all, so called, democratic systems. It is just now getting to the point where they don’t care how obvious it is even to casual observers. The precursor to lowering the boom to full on totalitarianism. That’s the plan.
How to file your refund w/GoFMe:
Pro tip: You HAVE to file one of their FORMS by Feb 19 to get your refund. Video shows you how and where. It also shows how to access a Complaint form to the Atty Gen of ÇA, so we should flood him.
Fascism arising.
So when you go to Stacy Kent’s twitter you see lots of comments about the “unvaxxed” posing a “safety risk”. These dumbasses don’t even know the shots don’t prevent transmission or contagion. To compare this with the propaganda of the Nazis is not hyperbole. How can what appear to be intelligent people not know the jab is not effective as preventing transmission and contagion such that mandates to get it are not rooted in logic but obviously are rooted in totalitarianism of politicians owned by Big Pharma. Mind boggling.
The right of the people to petition their government for a redress of grievances is no more. Been going that way for a while now except government approved protests designed to stir up ethnic, class, or racial hatred or anything useful like that. You have the right to vote. If you give up your right to vote, one will be cast for you. If you vote incorrectly, the government reserves the right to print more ballots until the proper outcome is presented to you and you will accept it and like it or else.
I have been watching Viva Frei. He recently talked to some counter protesters. He was amazing in how he carried himself. Most wouldn’t carry on a dialogue with him. From my observation many seemed very angry and truely I believe their lives must be very sad. There was one person trying to keep others from speaking. I’m not sure that this group realizes what’s at stake. Only my perspective. Freedom!
I wonder if Ms. Tracey Kent has considered what life in Canada will become if they are successful in taking a significant percentage of the trucks off the road. “OH, THAT’s OK–MY food comes from the grocery store!”
So the Ottawa police supported what is obviously an illegal act by GFM.
Now that the Texas AG is rolling up his sleeves for wire fraud and straight up theft, what does good ‘ol Pete have to say?
Would be hilarious if a US State AG sued the Canadian police for inciting wire fraud.
We all know how the leftist operate. They have exposed themselves. We know they will attempt to infiltrate the campaign and create false flags to use for propaganda as well as to provide justification for bringing in military force. The government and other left wing wackos did it to us in America and they will do it to Canadians. Just be prepared! If you see someone acting badly… restrain them until the police show up. Be sure to get their ID and publish it immediately.
You are a sick group of people. Shame on you! People donated that money to a relevant cause not a bunch bureacrats on their payroll.
Traitors get none.. Same for oath breakers.
The so-called police in Ottawa are NOT a political entity. They are there to SERVE the people by putting criminals in jail. I have not seen one criminal act in this whole trucker parade. Therefore, these Marxist police are either acting on their own or on orders of some political scumbag like Soros to act in a way that is political only. Shame on you! This is why we have groups of people that want to defund the police. Because the cops have stopped acting like police and are now paid political THUGS!
SUE…
