Even if it weren't fake it's not totally unreasonable to expect that some people would have regret after the government confiscated all their money.

Or the nuance behind the fake CBC propaganda narrative

"I donated my last 13k to the truckers, who were supposed to pay me back" (Highly suspect)

Uh, yeah. But CBC left out the part that the truckers couldn't pay you back even if they wanted to/you aren't a scammer because the fucking Canadian/Ontario governments and courts unconstitutionally and illegally seized over 20 million dollars Canadians in donations that were destined for this specific purpose.

Weird, when I donate money I certainly don't do it expecting it to be returned.

There is some truth to what this scammer was saying about the real situation on the ground at the trucker protest in Ottawa.

A lot of truckers and their supporting volunteers put their own money forward for fuel to get across the country, hotel rooms, fuel to keep warm/alive, food, etc, under the working presumption that they'd every get some of it back from the tens of millions in crowdfunding once it cleared.

Unfortunately, everyone severely underestimated what shitbag banana republic dictators Justin Trudeau, Premier Doug Ford of Ontario and Mayor of Ottawa Jim Watson are.

Rather like saying "they promised me my kidney back" isn't it

Came to post this. Not sure why the CBC thought this would cast the feds in a good light

They didn't.

Casting the feds in a good light isn't the goal behind this story.

FEAR is the goal. You are to FEAR the feds. You shouldn't DARE protest.

The guy is also committing welfare fraud, receiving payments from two different provinces.

CBC was so eager to paint the convoy in a bad light it unquestioningly published an alleged scammer's sob story. Despite subsidizing CBC with $1.4 billion each year, Canadians were better served by a Fox producer with a BS detector.

Worse than clamming up.

Their official response was that they refuse to correct this shitbag grifters "lived experience"

You mean the Trudeau sponsored state media here in Canada might lie and not care, because there's a story to be had even if it's fake, and a known con artist can profit from it? It's a day that ends in y here in Canada.
