This has led to him being arrested and charged, as well as \ntax payers money being wasted in the fight against his nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now a third party (who does not know this man) has gotten involved \nand set up a GoFundMe to raise money for him so that he can fight the \ncharges against him &#8211; which is nearing a quarter of a million dollars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not right and I am asking GoFundMe to reevaluate what it\u2019s \nplatform should and should not be used for and to remove this so called \n\u201cfundraiser&#8221; immediately. It\u2019s setting a bad precedent for others, and \ngiving money to a \u201crich kid\u201d instead of to people and small businesses \nwho actually need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has made decisions in which he knew there would be consequences &#8211; and he should pay for them himself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to also note that this guy is not the \u201csmall business\n working-class hero\u201d that he is trying to portray himself as. He is a \nwhite privileged anti-masker conspiracy theorist who comes from money \nand is known in Toronto for being an \u201cattention seeker\u201d. Earlier this \nyear he was called out by the media after he had a public meltdown on \nTwitter over the Covid-19 pandemic and repeatedly referred to others as \nthe R word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please help by signing this petition to let GoFundMe know that you \nare not ok with this behaviour and that their platform should suspend \nthis fundraiser immediately.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/start-a-petition?source_location=petition_show\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/start-a-petition?source_location=petition_show\"><strong>Start a petition of your own<\/strong>This petition starter stood up and took action.
