For many years, the legacy media journalists (aka activists) have convinced themselves and their colleagues that THEY KNOW The Truth™ and that “average” Canadians are just stupid rubes who are merely there to be manipulated & ridiculed; mere pawns in their little game to keep The Official Narrative™ moving forward. Now the little darlings are SHOCKED that Canadians are most always a whole lot smarter than those doing the interviews.

I guess that journo wasn’t a master baiter but just another media jerk.
Good for the interviewee. Never back down, or apologize for exercising your human rights.
So that’s how they’re trying to get the truckers to cave? Threaten to give away their kids to pedophile “foster parents?”
The CBC employees do, indeed, work for the Devil. They are Satan’s little helpers. Which BTW does NOT put them into a “fringe” group. Nope. It’s a very, very, large proportion of the population. They’re definitely in the majority on that account.
” For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it….”
Carrying messages to the resistance at the behest of the evil empire won’t win you any friends. The CBC is learning they’re not the beloved Canadian institution they think they are.
Ministry of propaganda apparatchik meets a citizen who knows how the game is played and won’t play.
I would advise that those talking to the media to ask them why they did not come and report on ALL the families that were there last weekend and the joy that they had and especially the children. Laughing and playing with other kids.
Why did you not come and see this for yourselves and report the truth about it?
How clean the sidewalks have been and how positive everyone was. Sheer joy every where!!
Why won’t you come and see and report the truth? Just maybe…maybe you might redeem yourselves with the Canadian public who have come to detest you and believe you are working for the devil!!
You are presupposing that the bought and paid for media is interested in reality which they are not. They have a predetermined narrative and they are looking for people to fumble their way into to supporting those narratives. You tell your story and don’t play the game. They want you to answer yes or no the the equivalent question of “have you stopped beating your wife?”. They are not your friends nor do they have any intention of portraying you as anything but a knuckle dragging moron.
The CBC brought up children. OK. Now ask the children there what they think about their Federal Government (all the Liberal and NDP MP’s – they’re all in this together) calling them racists, terrorists, Nazi’s, fringe people with unacceptabe views.
So Trudeau’s next move is “Gee, nice little family ya got there buddy. Be a shame if something were to happen to it.”. Wow, our little tyrant is a real piece of work.
If the Children’s Aid, supported by the police, come after the children (because that’s what they do) then I predict we will see the first violence and deaths.
That this sort of action is even mentioned as a method to remove the truckers gives clear insight into the perverted minds of our those running our institutions.
If this is dangerous to kids, then all families on camping trips should be wary of any police presence.
The Ceeb POS is there to argue, not to discuss, what a beta rainbow cuck!
Why are you guys celebrating this guys reaction? He is screaming at the reporter..telling him he works for the devil and then swearing at him. How is this image going to help the protesters? This is exactly the narrative of hateful aggressive and fringe behaviour that the pm and the media are painting the protesters.
Reporters are going to ask provocative questions and people are going to have to learn to deal with that without flipping out. Frankly the reporter was very calm and respectful.
You ask me what I had for lunch today, I give a rational response. You ask me what the weather was like yesterday, I give a rational response. You ask me how far I drove to get to the protest, same thing.
Somebody, anybody, reporter, cop, politician, the Queen herself, says they’re coming after my children, they sure as hell ain’t gettin’ no rational response. You ask a question designed to elicit a response, then don’t be surprised when that response hits you right between the eyes.
If that makes me a Bad Person, then I guess I’m a Bad Person. Sue me, if you can pick yourself off the ground.
Why aren’t these presstitutes & urinalists asking politicians & bureaucrats “provocative questions”?
When it comes to the CBC and the rest of the media, canadians show remarkable restraint.
Here’s hoping for some mostly peaceful protests, coming soon to a CBC near you.
Well it will be used against the movement. So if you would rather feel good screaming at a reporter like a lunatic then go for it. But that’s exactly the reaction which the Libs and the mainstream media are describing the protesters.
The guy was not threatening to take his kids away..he is a reporter for goodness sake and not even a well known one. He was just trying to get a reaction from what the children aid society said and that’s a very legitimate question from the media.
Calling someone the devil is not a winning formula and swearing at them and screaming. If you have guys that volatile then good luck winning this war.
Take the advice of Jim Croce:
Yeah you don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
*you don’t relay threats about a man’s family*
And you don’t mess around with Slim
They’re describing those reactions already, even without them actually happening. May as well enjoy the satisfaction.
He’s not a reporter, he’s a fucking paid lying Lieberal schill. Like I said, don’t ask a question if you don’t wanna know the answer.
Who said anything about swearing & screaming? I was going to hit him, right between the lookers. I was fearin’ for my life, yer honour. That big, scary TV camera an’ all…
Further to this, what camera footage, yer honour? I didn’t see no camera…
Yeah well …. Maybe Covid ripped his heart out watching kids get cheated out of being teenagers.
Kudo’s to the parents and the teachers that challenge kids.
The fringe is indeed parents the don’t coddle their kids, and had to watch them “wither” away getting coddled and even more domesticated like cattle by on-line school, and their unions and boards.
Many good parents must be at a loss really, and I feel for some of the teachers that stuck it out.
Yeah the devil part made me wince too, but really it’s the truth.
“Progressives” have a lot to answer for, but we don’t have political opposition or enough media up to the task of uncovering the damage done even before Covid.
I don’t blame him for being mad, and I bet his tolerance honestly out shines any resident of Ottawa, or the media who preaches tolerance, and is suddenly worried about sleep or the economy, after two years of , “We got your back”. “follow the science”, and ” take a hike your not like us”
Kissing behinds got us here.
But by all means bend over farther.
I am a middle age gentle natured woman, from a farm then working class background. I find his reaction exactly on target, facing down an aggressor with same tactics. What background are you from that you would see this push-back to a hatefully aggressive reporter, and frame the question as simply provocative? Do you actually think people can be complete jerks in their words and actions and still hold the high ground if they can manage to, at the same time, remain calm and respectful. Curious.
It seems you are of the impression reporters get a free pass to be like this, and I can’t imagine why.
An aggressor..seriously?? The CBC reporter looked and sounded as docile and gentle as could be. The problem with you guys is you are unwilling to self critique yourselves at all. You are acting no better than any partisan group. You have pre determined that all CBC reporters are evil satanic aggressors which is ludicrous.
If you guys want to be painted as hateful and dangerous people then keep screaming like lunatics and see how far that gets you with the Canadian public.
You need more Canadians on your side and being aggressive and rude is not going to get you there.
Oh look…. Complicated concern troll is concerned. How adorable.
Do you honestly expect every trucker to have training in handling inappropriate and insensitive media questions?
For years I tried to comment on the CBC! They are beyond hope and have no journalistic integrity! How much tax money is wasted on them a year! Let them try there moronic journalism without taxpayers funding!!
I find it funny complicated that people like you are afraid to use your name!!!
It’s not the truckers that need training. It’s the MSM. If they got slapped upside the head every time they asked a stupid or provocative question, their training would be completed in short order.
If this is dangerous to kids, then so is growing up on a farm.
growing up on a farm
Rotten Rachel certainly thought so when her government brought in legislation restricting the activities of Alberta farm children in daily operations. If I’m not mistaken, each farm had to have porta-potties on the property as well, or something equally as ridiculous.
We had porta-potties scattered all over the farm. There was the one out behind the granaries. There was one off the back corner of the quonset. Had another beside the hay yard. One of my favorites was out in the south pasture, used that one a lot when we were bringing the dairy cows in for milking, which saved us from using the one by the barn. There was a half section of pasture down by the river, the whole thing was a porta-pottie. Across the river from that was about 360 acres of leased pasture, same story there. Can’t really think of anywhere that I had issues finding a bathroom while growing up.
Smart girl, that Red Rachel. She musta pissed all over the place, too.
Alright for some.
One of the commenters in Tunney’s twitter thread asked what were these people thinking taking their children somewhere where there might be violent clashes.
Remember Kamala Harris telling her “Fweedom” story of being taken to a civil rights demonstration by her parents?
I believe violence may have occurred at some of those marches, but it was a chance to be part of history.
Truckers and their families are making history in Ottawa right now.
Maxime has got that “look” in his eyes…

Strange we haven’t heard from Max in all this.
Never interfere when your opponent is making mistakes
I’ve seen a number of videos of Bernie connecting with the protesters and the truckers. He also messages his supporters in terms of his activities in support of the truckers.
Try doing some research on line.
Honestly, repeatedly and belligerently yelling “Are my children in danger, yes or no!? You work for the devil! ARE MY CHILDREN IN DANGER, YES OR NO!?” just makes this guy look like the unhinged and unreasonable one here.
It’s a fair question: Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa did in fact release a statement yesterday indicating that they’re working with police to investigate reports of child welfare concerns at the protest, so what do protesters who are accompanied by their children think of that? A softball, really. This guy had every chance to calmly but pointedly rebut those reports, and argue convincingly why having one’s kids out of school and at an extended, out-of-town, outdoor protest encampment in winter is entirely proper. Instead, he opts for hostility and aggression, playing right into every stereotype of the protest and its participants.
Candice my kids are around thirty do you know how many parents I knew when the oldest was 13 that heard their headstrong kid say, “you can’t do that or I’ll call children’s aid”, after getting your point across, then handing them the phone with the enablers number.
I think if I remember right it came after they where taught something about the UN and the kids had “rights”, grade seven I believe .
Stereotype’s by Canadians, and our gold standard bought and paid for enlightened and tolerant media LOL.
Do you not see the irony, you buy into ?
They are phony, enablers of what really weighs this country down.
One person doesn’t see the benefit of being a vegetable, maybe for a darn good reason.
Two reasons I bet, kids he watched being born.
God forbid someone speaks their mind, and traumatizes an Eloi.
Candice: Please declare.
Are you the Con MP Candice? Some commenters thought you were recent comments.
“Concern for the children”.
That’s the funniest thing I heard all day.
Experimental, dangerous Injections for children with almost zero Covid risk and the disastrous soul-sucking mask mandates, “concern” for the children.
Candice the time has come to draw a line in the sand! And as Gandalf said to the Balrog , “ You Shall not Pass”!!!!
That time is here with CBC! And I very much disagree the gentleman sounded very much like the father I hoped to be!! And then Fuck Off is an appropriate response!
The media doing the police Stasi’s dirty work via spreading fear and propaganda, it’s sickening watching the media hoe it’s self out to anyone that is on their political side.
John Hopkins University recently released its review of several thousand studies and whether the lockdowns were good or bad.
No one is talking about that study. Why aren’t those departments following the science of several thousand studies?
How come children’s aid services hasn’t been concerned about the children and the effect of the lockdowns in the mandates of had on the children for the past two years? Why are they only concerned now?
And if you talking to a reporter you should ask
How come the interviewer is wearing a mask but your coworkers aren’t. If that’s true.
Poseurs.
“How come children’s aid services hasn’t been concerned about the children and the effect of the lockdowns in the mandates of had on the children for the past two years? Why are they only concerned now?”
This. In spades.
Frankly, if I saw a MSM camera crew heading my direction, my first response would be to tell them that I don’t grant interviews to liars for any price, let alone free. Why bother talking to the bastards? They’re the enemy. They’re going to distort everything you say anyway.
My policy would be to say nothing whatsoever to them.
YOU CANNOT WIN.
MSM is not there for balancing info. They’re there for flat out propaganda.
News in depth = piled higher and deeper.
I am not sure if this is correct but I’ve read that law enforcement has protocols against using items like tear gas if children are present, unless there’s imminent danger. So, the children must be cleared out of the area before a raid on the peaceful protesters at the convoy.
The man did get angry but veiled threats to a person’s family or outrageous insults will elicit that type of reaction, even if it’s second hand. Things like “I heard your wife is easy…what’s your response?” or “the government says you’re abusing your children so they may have to take them away…what do you think of that?”. Most people, including politicians and journalists, would also lose their cool.
I loved the way the guy wrapped up the interview: “Well, then go fuck yourself.”
Still chuckling.
What utter brilliance.. makes him look like a genius. Canadian will be very impressed..
Makes him look smarter than you.
CBC doesn’t have any reporters, they have extreme left wing agitators.
Fox news had no problems there.
Complicated, you’re simple.
I know, I know: you’ve said the same thing to antifa and blm.
What a piece of garbage.
To paraphrase: “I’m not saying that we’re going to threaten your children….”
Ditto on the sign off: “Go _____ yourself.”
Funny, Fox news reporters have no problems, but then again, the CBC don’t have any reporters, they have activists.
Interesting how the largest crowd of ‘Big Camera’ media are at the tiny counter-protests.
Slightly related.
If the narrative is that is founded on guilt by association, maintains that this is a bunch of white supremist nazis, does it not mean that the Canadian flag is now a symbol of that extremism?
Asking for a friend.
Anyone else notice that lately SDA is drawing more comments from the left trying to defend their beliefs? Kate must be doing something right. Keep it up!
One of the things that the Ottawa demonstration inadvertently demonstrates is that our political system is broken.
It would have been better to bring pressure on the government from the Opposition. The official opposition was of course hampered by the constant flip-flopping of the departed leader, it may gradually improve or perhaps not. The more direct political opposition (PPC) which ran on an explicit anti-mandate platform was unable to secure a seat in the 2019 election. You have to wonder if they might have succeeded more recently, as more people have become opposed to the mandates.
In terms of what the Ottawa demonstration actually represents, that is somewhat obscured by the free form in which basically it is a collection of individual demonstrations. Professional politicians will be wary of making common cause with people who have no leadership structure (they will be exposed to the optics of appearing to make common cause with each individual and what if one or a few of them are lunatics), so we will go on with this situation where the somewhat empowered leadership (we speak for some) won’t hold press conferences or make it remotely possible to have any real meetings with anyone in power.
Thus nothing can happen and at some point we’re going to have to ask, is this becoming counter productive, as the sub-theme of not wanting to appear to yield to the demonstrators might intrude on a reality based shift to end mandates anyway.
The border crossing demonstrations are probably more the way to go at this point. Maybe the Ottawa people should realize that they can do no more now, the message is out there, and the impact can shift to where the economy actually functions.
Legacy media seeking an interview should just contact Max Bernier. In political terms, he speaks for this movement as far as it is one cohesive movement, and would probably oblige with an interview. There is no point in asking any random demonstrator to explain if the chances are already high that said demonstrator has a hate on for legacy media and will just growl like a pirate. I can understand the sentiment. But somebody needs to be communicating through legacy media with the government and the segment of the population which still respects the legacy media. I don’t see what good we do with these incoherent responses. The average person is just going to say, “hmm there is something wrong with these people” and walk away. This is not what we need, the anti-mandate support across the country is nowhere near a majority (there are people sick of the mandates who would not think of themselves as anti-mandate). We can growl like pirates all we want here and in our own “clubhouse” settings, but playing the longer game, we need people out there who will engage. It does not have to be on their terms either, just be cautious to say things that when split into smaller soundbites cannot be abused. “Some people say, we should overthrow the government. I do not agree.” is an example, if you strip out the context then an editor can have you saying “we should overthrow the government.”
Tom Waits is drivin’ truck, I see.
Hoist that rag!
Media folks should need police protection in public, they should be afraid to show their faces in public! They will not be forgotten.
