I don't understand how so many people are mixed up on this:The injunction is unenforcable. Givesendgo is not a Candadian company. How exactly will they identify the people getting money?

The order is not against GiveSendGo (as an entity, or for people to donate towards it)
The order is criminalizing the act of withdrawing/using any money from the GiveSendGo/Adopt-a-Trucker donations.
So, this does not affect people donating money to the GiveSendGo, or GiveSendGo themselves. It is making using any of the donations a crime for whoever withdraws it.
So, here's how it's set up (and how it will likely go):
Doug Ford uses the emergency powers to make some giant new BS law that imposes a massive fine immediately on the protestors. Protest organizers withdraw money from the GiveSendGo donations to fund the legal fees, and then ol' Doug Ford slaps them on massive charges as detailed above under section 490.8 of the criminal code for "disposing of, or otherwise dealing with...monetary donations made through...the GiveSendGo".
The bullshit order is basically making it so that the protestors cannot legally withdraw or use any of the $8M dollars in donations in Canada (Ontario orders have cross-provincial jurisdiction, so they can't just circumvent this order by cashing it out in Alberta/etc).
So, even though it's an American company, and Ontario has no jurisdiction to seize the funds, or stop the donations, it instead has crafted a legal order to prevent the protestors in Canada from actually withdrawing and using the money legally.
And if they do, then they'll get raped up the ass in the courts based on this bullshit order, and it will be used as legal justification to seize any of the withdrawn funds.
Ontario/Canada can't do shit to America, or American entities, but it can impose it's authoritarian hellworld on the residents of Canada legally (and as we're seeing here, rapidly)
