A GoFundMe fundraiser to pay for a country-wide journey to Ottawa has pulled in over $4.3 million.
The money is being raised for what’s known as the “Freedom Convoy” and has over 55,000 donations.
Those in the convoy are driving to Parliament Hill in a symbolic protest of vaccine mandates.

A member of the Maverick Party in Alberta is organizing the fundraiser – they formed after the Liberals won the 2019 federal election.
According to the GoFundMe, the group wants Ottawa to cease all vaccine mandates and scrap vaccine passports.
