The Canadians hold their reporters with about as much contempt as we hold their American counterparts. Sadly, Canadian broadcasting companies are nothing more than propagandists for Justin Trudeau’s tyrannical regime. It’s about the same here on this side of the border.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police say they are investigating Freedom Convoy supporters who might have been rude to broadcast journalists. Apparently, that’s a crime in Canada.
“These kinds of acts of aggression and intimidation towards media, or any member of the public, are simply unacceptable,” Sgt. Elenore Sturko.Watch below as the Canadian journalists get their feelings hurt by Freedom Convoy supporters.
I was doing a live hit with @MSNBC this afternoon when our crew was mobbed. One guy actually spit at us, others called us Nazis. MSNBC had to cut it off almost after it began. Then they chased us down the street to our bureau. pic.twitter.com/K21NIHgGCS

Here is the insane treatment my colleague @EvanDyerCBC received after finishing up a live hit tonight at Bank and Queen. It was even worse when he was live on air #cdnpoli #ottnews pic.twitter.com/7oMSd6bU76

The protesters surround our vehicle and start banging on it. One man spits at our window.

Police have to push crowd back so we can try and get out.
We finally do. #bcpoli #TruckerConvoy2022 pic.twitter.com/d7NrHGF45B
