The crowdfunding platform GoFundMe says it has released an initial $1 million of the $6.2 million collected for a convoy of truckers and their supporters now heading to Parliament Hill to protest vaccine mandates. Lich has said that any money left over after the convoy would be donated to a veterans organization. I think that there's actually a very small chance that it will happen, but if that does happen, they will have funded a violent protest. "If the protest turns violent, then GoFundMe could be in a bit of a tricky legal situation," said Davis. Lich maintains the purpose of the convoy is to protest what she calls infringements on personal liberty caused by public health orders.
