Ottawa City Councillor wants the city to ask the courts to seize funds from the freedom trucker convoy GoFundMe account.

Some activities he seeks to use the convoy funds for are to promote the city and PR campaign "messaging to support downtown residents," Image
Thanks @crabcrawler1 for bringing to my attention.
When it comes to people in government, they always try to find ways to use others funds for unnecessary projects like "promotion for our City".

What would that even entail and why would a court reward funds for a passion project like that?

Or is this actually about the government enjoying governing us through decrees, emergency orders, and mandates?

These are the discussions that many Canadians are waiting to have. These are also the things our elites are nowhere near willing to discuss.

Along the road, as the convoy movement grew, it mutated into something more than a protest about mandates that harmed truckers. It became an opposition to the authoritarian measures & poorly justified restrictions which have been plaguing people's lives for nearly two years now.
Yet the legacy media, just like Justin Trudeau, are having a very difficult time understanding the sacrifices that Canadians have made over those years.
