EMT sent, no indication of it being accepted yet.
I just wanted to let you know that I am not managing the EMT or the TD account. That was setup by another family friend. There were a number of people sending checks, Travis felt that an account in trust for Eddie was the best way to manage this. That way there would be no question as to where the checks were going.
Again, the support offered by everyone is just amazing. Thank you once again.
I'm having a heck of a time trying to get an emt through, haha! I can't see what I'm doing wrong. I may just send another fundrazr in it's place, less hair-pulling for all those involved.
It would be nice to know the total donations to date, if anyone is privy to this number? Imo, a higher number is MORE likely to spur on further donations, than a perceived low one will.
Following and will send some money soon, thanks for doing this IRG.
To those asking why go fund is not being utilized it’s because they would block funds for a legal defence. Leftist dogma anti-gun anti-hunting anti-common-sense.

If it hasn't already been mentioned, you can also donate to the defense fund directly at any Toronto Dominion bank.
"The account has been set up at the Okotoks branch of the TD Bank (Acct # 8079-6142303)
Dunn said donations can be made at any TD branch."

Why this is important is because it is the last option Canadian property owners have with respect to the protection and security of their homes and families. The police cannot or will not respond in time and the criminals know this. The criminals also know that the Trudeau government has got their back. This is why criminals do what they do. They know that the Canadian government supports their criminal activity by prohibiting victims from adequately protecting themselves.
Home/property owners are all on their own. I myself was a recent victim of a break-in. The thieves sat across the road in a stolen vehicle and cased my place several hours before they broke in. They used another stolen vehicle (which the RCMP recovered the next day) to tear down the gate across the front of my driveway. I leaned the next day from one of my neighbours who saw that the thieves that they were also armed with a rifle.
I immediately reported the attempted break-in to the local RCMP. They didn't attend nor did they investigate. They didn't even initially believe me when I told them that my place was being cased before the break-in.
The point is that the police cannot be trusted or counted on to do their jobs. Compounding this is a federal government lead by a criminal degenerate himself who will not make any effective changes to the laws to deter the criminals. We as property owners are left to look after ourselves and each other. This is why it is so important that we support the victim, Eddie Maurice, with his defense. Private land owners supporting each other is (sadly) the only option that we have...
(The stolen vehicle that the thieves used to case my place was also recovered a few days later. But by that time it had been completely burned out. A common practice here in my neck of the woods).

This isn't just a rural problem, either. I'm in a suburb of Toronto. When we first moved in, someone tried to break into our house on 3 different occasions. One time, I was alone, sleeping upstairs. (Shotgun in closet.) They tried to force the lock. But for a $50 lock, I might be in the exact same position as Eddie. Alarm system and cameras soon followed.
I was also working at a Yonge Street record store when someone decided to come in one night and trash it. He was obviously high as a kite. We phoned 911 as we watched him tear the store apart and they actually gave us grief. ("How do you know he's dangerous?" Crash. Bang. Crash. "Well, we'll try to send someone." Crash.) After destroying the store, he left. A squad car never showed up.
I'm not, in any way, anti-LEO, but they can't be everywhere at once, and property crimes can quickly escalate into crimes against a person. It's ridiculous that anyone should have to wait until violence is directed specifically at them before they take action. I'm not for vigilante justice (er, necessarily), but the victim should always be given the benefit of the doubt until it can be demonstrated they acted unreasonably - unreasonably within the context of the scenario, and not in an ideal world setting.
You are absolutely correct. We started out with a GO FUND ME; after 24 hours we were at almost $7000 and GO FUND ME shut it down and returned all the donations. We were in violation of one of their terms and conditions.
Here is the exact quote from their website that we violated
7.campaigns deemed by GoFundMe, in its sole discretion, to be in support of, or for the legal defense of alleged crimes associated with hate, violence, harassment, bullying, discrimination, terrorism or intolerance of any kind relating to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, ###ual orientation, ###, gender or gender identity, or serious disabilities or diseases;
After that got shut down, I read terms and conditions of every other crowd funding site out there. After much reading and an email, we determined we were not in violation of FundRazr's policies.
It is nice as well, because the way we have it setup, the money is directly sent to the Maurice family and I have no way of touching it. I like it because it removes any question as to where the funds are going.
I think the 'GoFundMe' people just chickened-out because of all the bad press they took after the Stanley/Boushie campaign. Kudos to you and 'FundRazr' for taking on the good fight.
The only thing that bothers me is the fact that the FundRazr fund is building so slow. I would have thought that the goal would have been reached before now. Rural crime is a huge problem all across Alberta and Saskatchewan. I've been hit twice myself and others have reported much higher rates of occurrences. We are all alone here. The police cannot effectively deal with what's going on and we know that the federal government only encourages the criminals. How bad does it need to get before everyone wakes up to the fact that our only option is looking after ourselves???

The property crime rate is so high in some rural areas that people are now saying that they can't even get affordable insurance.
In any case the "wild west" scenario is the making of the criminals, not the land owners. Although it was under-reported, Colton Boushie had a loaded .22 rifle in his lap when he was ACCIDENTALLY shot. The RCMP had posted pics of the rifle that was recovered from the scene but the leftist media has deliberately down played the truth and the facts in order to push their agenda.
In my most recent break-in attempt, the thieves were also armed. My neighbour saw them and claims that they had a rifle with them. He thinks that it looked like a .308.
You cannot blame the victims for assuming that the thieves are armed and acting accordingly. The criminals themselves are to blame.
When you pull into a stranger's yard looking for help to change a flat tire, do you bring a loaded gun with you? I'm guess I'm just curious...

while i agree with defending ones property, and would hate to be in the shoes of the accused. i really hope this brings light to the rural crime issue in Alberta and landowners can get some more rights. even if we have to do "training" once a year. its getting ridiculous.
almost as ridiculous as seeing thieves from a distance and thinking they are carrying a .308. must be some keen eye site to figure on the caliber of rifle.
The bigger issue I would think here is what is motivating the theves? Is this a symptom of a drug problem or just people looking for easy money?
If its easy money then having cops around may help, if its deperate drug addicts then it may not change much. This poor guy may be the wakeup call needed to forcefully address the bigger problems.
If its as epedemic as it appears then I would think this will only get worse as people get tired of it. They will form there own lynch mob and band together.

Wrong: Boushie had (actually, someone else in the car had) a .22 barrel. The other half (butstock and receiver) of the rifle was on another property, allegedly it broke because they used it as a tool to try and break into another car (and failed). Stanley's legal defense wasn't even that he was defending himself, his family or his property; his defense was that Boushie's death was the result of an accidental discharge (a hangfire). Stanley testified that he didn't know there was a (part of a) firearm in the car, that no one in the car was threatening or made any threatening gesture.
Mr. Stanley's lawyer said said Mr. Boushie's shooting was not justified and not an act of self-defence, but the result of trying to fire a warning shot in terrible circumstances. He said it was a hangfire – an unexpected delay between the pulling of the trigger and the firing of the round – that killed Mr. Boushie.
"Ultimately this case comes down to a freak accident that occurred in the midst of an unimaginably scary incident one afternoon," Mr. Spencer said.
"This isn't a justified death. This death is not justified legally or morally," Mr. Spencer said. "This is really not a murder case at all. This is a case about what can go terribly wrong. … Hangfires happen. And that's what happened here."
Ultimately, Stanley's defense and Maurice's defense are quite far apart. There's no way Stanley could have used a self-defense defense given the fact that the thiefs were fleeing (or more accurately, trying to flee) when he shot them. I'm fairly certain the whole AD was BS and he thinks he was defending himself (the prosecutor should have asked why and how he pumped the trigger 2 or 3 times on an empty SA pistol), but we weren't in the courtroom, so if we take Stanley's word at face value, like the jury did, then there isn't any self-defense anywhere in the story.
