Declaration of Emergency committee  I believe we are compliant. We're in review right now with our payment providers on the status of those things. I believe we've done what we need to do at this time.

Declaration of Emergency committee  Again, I don't know of any murder of any police officer, but the reality in free societies is.... We can get into the idea of thought crime, like we're going to prejudge what people do. Typically, when people come—and this is what we find to be the case—and they state what they're doing, and make a lawful claim and make claims to it, and it's authorized—

Declaration of Emergency committee  We have thousands and thousands of campaigns on GiveSendGo.

Jacob Wells

Declaration of Emergency committee  There are probably hundreds of campaigns in Canada that are active right now. As I mentioned, the vast majority of them are for medical bills, for people helping people in their community. In response to “freedom convoy 2022”, this was an Ontario-sanctioned, incorporated not-for-profit that came to GiveSendGo to fundraise.

Jacob Wells

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you for the question. We're constantly updating our platform and our processes to include new laws and regulations. We're working with our payment providers to do those very things in Canada and around the world.

Jacob Wells

Declaration of Emergency committee  Thank you for your question. Again, as I stated earlier, the intention of a campaign might not necessarily align itself to our mission, which is to share the hope that we have with people. When we get a campaign and call them to tell them about Jesus or to pray with them, that's what we do.

December 1st, 2022Committee meeting

Jacob Wells

Declaration of Emergency committee  I actually believe that it was the Canadian government that enacted some laws restricting the movement of unvaccinated people; I thought that was what you were referring to. The “freedom convoy” that set up a campaign on GiveSendGo actually disavowed the blockades that were happening at the border.

Jacob Wells

Declaration of Emergency committee  The vast majority of those funds were refunded because they couldn't accomplish the ends that the givers intended. They were refunded, I believe, in mid-March back to the givers. A percentage of those funds had been transferred to a Canadian account, Chad Eros, who was the treasurer for the “freedom convoy” organization.

Declaration of Emergency committee  GiveSendGo, itself, doesn't. Campaign owners set up campaigns. They come on, and they begin a fundraising effort. They tell people what they are fundraising for. In that case, I believe it was someone who was raising funds to provide for displaced families, families of truckers who were put out of work because of the mandates that had been enacted, and things of that nature.

December 1st, 2022Committee meeting

Jacob Wells

Declaration of Emergency committee  What we look at is what the campaign owner has stated, what they are fundraising for. Is that a legal objective? If it's a legal objective.... If they were to take their money.... Just like anyone, if they were to get money from their job and go do something illegal with the money they've earned, that's illegal and there are law enforcement procedures to go after people who do illegal activity, so—
