Who is funding the #FreedomConvoy?

If the leak of @FreedomConvoy donations data from @GiveSendGo is accurate....

The majority of donors to the #FreedomConvoy -- 55% -- are American, which is more than the number of Canadian donors -- 39%. Canadians make up 6 of the top 10 donors; Americans make up 3.

Canadians appear to be giving more, which is why you see the 51 per cent -- about $4.3 million -- coming from Canada.

About $3.6 million -- or 43 per cent -- comes from American addresses.

Looks like the @GiveSendGo fundraiser for the #FreedomConvoy is down, as well as their entire site, in what looks like an attack. Impossible to accept donations for any of their campaigns at this moment. The funds raised are the subject of a Canadian court injunction that was granted on Thursday: ctvnews.ca/canada/ontario…

"We are now two weeks into the siege of the City of Ottawa. I call it that because that’s what it is. It’s an illegal occupation.
This no longer a protest … Please go home...It’s time to leave, and it’s time to do so peacefully."

The good people at @CTVNews are collecting how many cases and where they are in Canada in a handy map: ctvnews.ca/health/coronav… And given that we’re all cooped up… let’s make some charts. From Canadian numbers you might think that Ontario is not the place to be… but cases per million people might be a better estimate of risk.
