This is insanely disingenuous. The poll claims that the "disinformed" are the ones opposing vaccine mandates. Here are two of the beliefs that lump you into @VoiceOfFranky's dumbass troglodyte group:

- Belief Covid originated in a lab
- Belief Covid death numbers are inflated
That Covid-19 came from a lab has become widely accepted by numerous governments, intelligence agencies and researchers.

That deaths "with Covid" – which are not caused by Covid – are included in numbers has been accepted by public health officials in Canada.
This is another criteria: "Whether someone is vaccinated should make no difference to someone who is fully vaccinated."

Forgetting how poorly worded it is, this is normative, not factual. I am vaccinated, and I don't care if others are. That, to this poll, makes me disinformed.
The trucker convoy's support has become so large that the only way to parse the numbers is to say that opposing mandates means you're a moron and/or conspiracy theorist.

I've read the Emergencies Act order-in-council and spoken to several lawyers – no one has any idea whether the government will target individual convoy donors because they've provided no info about what they plan to do.
What the order does indicate is that the government is viewing support for the convoy in the same way it views money laundering and terrorist financing.
What's also clear is that the government has given banks carte blanche to report and freeze accounts based on "suspicion" alone, without liability. Does someone withdrawing cash from an Ottawa ATM fit the bill? An Interac etransfer to someone in Ottawa? No one knows.

Under Trudeau's Emergency Act order, it's illegal to bring a minor within 500 metres of a banned "public assembly." Image
Though it's also illegal to bring yourself there too. Image
Here's now the government defines prohibited public assemblies. Critical infrastructure is a broad category which includes anywhere vaccines are administered. Parliament Hill is in a separate category. Image

Tuned into a Twitter Space on which trucker convoy spokesperson @BJdichter is speaking. A few details about the financial situation of the convoy.
The ~$1 million released from the initial GoFundMe campaign to a TD Bank account has been frozen by TD and is supposed to be, Dichter says, transferred to a trust account held by the convoy's lawyer, Keith Wilson. This has not happened yet.
Convoy organizers had requested a transfer from the GiveSendGo campaign (the platform used after GoFundMe spiked initial campaign) just before the Ontario Superior Court issued order freezing funds. When this happened, Dichter says convoy had GiveSendGo reverse transfer.

Ontario premier Doug Ford is speaking now from Toronto. Says the difficult public health measures Ontario has implemented were necessary, but the province is now positioned to remove "almost all" restrictions.
Ford says public health advisers are "working on a plan" to eliminate the vaccine passports.
Ford says Canadians have the right to speak out but "all rights are subject to reasonable limits."

BREAKING: The Ontario government says it has effectively frozen all donations made to the trucker convoy through GiveSendGo. It is now a criminal offence to have any "dealing" with money from donations through this platform.
Organizer Benjamin Dichter weighs in:
GiveSendGo responds to the move from the Ontario government and Ontario Superior Court.

There are two duelling freedom convoy press conferences today scheduled for 1:00pm. One is hosted by convoy organizers Benjamin Dichter and Tamara Lich; the other has Maxime Bernier, Randy Hillier, Pastor Henry Hildebrandt, and "convoy doctors" Roger Hodkinson and Paul Alexander.
The former – the official one – is set to address questions about the convoy's fundraising efforts (the GiveSendGo campaign is up to $7.4 million US at present). I'm not yet sure who's organizing the latter. (A PPC contact tells me it's not a PPC affair).
The organizer of the original GoFundMe campaign, @Tamara_MVC, has just issued this statement affirming the convoy's official spokespeople are her, Benjamin Dichter, Chris Barber, and Dagny Pawlak (a name I'm seeing for the first time here).
