CBC News has matched at least two dozen current and former members of the Ottawa Police Service and Ontario Provincial Police with a publicly leaked list of names identified as apparent donors to GiveSendGo, a crowdfunding site used to support the weeks-long occupation in Ottawa.
The OPP said it has launched an investigation into alleged officer donations to the convoy, but won’t divulge how many members are involved. Ottawa police (OPS) wouldn’t confirm whether they are investigating the matter.
It’s unclear what legal or disciplinary consequences — if any — police officers could face for donating money to the so-called Freedom Convoy that paralyzed downtown Ottawa for much of February.
