This news account is unacceptable. You are the country’s national broadcaster. Find out what is happening - the full story not a whitewash - and inform Canadians. This is your job. Ask the tough questions and don’t take No for an answer.
The CBC is as Popular as The LIBERAL NDP
KlondikePapers please
Is this why? Setting the stage to try to prevent this?
CBC is so USA it is rediculus. I can't watch their bias news anymore and they should be taken off the air.
What'cha gonna do come Canada Day? Warmer weather, don't need trucks just air horns HonkHonk
What more police secrets ?!? Fkn people haven't learned yet.
Do you need help Ottawa? Sure you can handle it?
Had Canada flags on them, cant have that hear
Did they catch somebody working at the Parliament buildings? That would certainly stand out as unusual behavior.
I predict Justin gets covid so he can stay away to make sutr it is safe
The police showed up with guns? It's not a Right in Canada to protect life with a gun. It's not in the constitution. This is unacceptable to Canadians
Must have heard an air horn
It was a kids birthday and the parents rented a bouncy castle.
We’re they trying to set up a hot tub or bouncy castle!!! Criminals!! Send in the horses!!!
Ottawa police showed up with carbines and it was for no reason whatsoever? I remember when they said they weren't letting diesel into the occupation, when we also watched them help it along. Live. During their press conference. So forgive me when I suggest OPS is full of it.
Lemme guess, they were criticizing justin or jagmeet?
Bouncy castles?
Did someone honk their horns too loud? Too many bouncy castles nearby?🖕
OPS is useless
