In Vancouver there was a peaceful anti-authoritarian protest that I estimate had about 1500-2000 people (I checked with my own eyes). Clearly this is a newsworthy protest. There was zero coverage. But 12-20 people protesting pipelines was covered. They did cover a protest near the hospital and reported that an ambulance was blocked from access. But several sources of footage taken on site clearly show the crowd quickly moving to the sidewalk to let the ambulance go by. You could see the ambulance drive very slowly. Obviously it wasn't rushing to an emergency.
I found that livestreams of people on location were much better at covering the events. Hundreds of hours of the Ottawa protests were livestreamed. You can see what was actually going on. A 30 second clip on CBC, CTV, Global is laughable in comparison. The corruption was/is blatant and the cognitive dissonance in the general public is palpable. Personally I don't think there is enough lucidity in the general Canadian consciousness to avoid this happening again.
Shame CBC!
