The CBC is doubling down after Tucker Carlson Tonight producer Gregg Re took the organization to town over their publishing a story about a Freedom Convoy donor’s regret with more than a few holes in it.

In a lengthy Twitter thread, Re questioned the legitimacy of the CBC’s claims that a Freedom Convoy donor lost his life savings, regrets opposing Trudeau, and is being left out to dry by Freedom Convoy organizers.

Sketchy Claims

As Re noted, the CBC’s article stated that Martin Anglehart was arrested and supported it with a picture that had nothing to do with an arrest. Instead, it was a picture of the ‘offence notice’ that protestors were handed from police that instructed them to leave the city.

CBC has since corrected their article with a new caption under the photo.

Re further challenges Anglehart’s claim his bank account was frozen, which the CBC reported. Anglehart recorded a video where he calls his bank and claims his accounts are frozen, but the bank representative sounds confused and does not verify the claim.

“CBC reports that the man’s bank account has been “frozen.” Supposedly, the individual posted this video as proof, but it merely suggests e-transfers did not go through. The man feeds the line about accounts being “Frozen.” CBC repeats it,” says Re.

Moreover, several from the Ottawa area have now come forward, alleging that Anglehart is a serial scammer with a lengthy track record of creating pitiful stories to garner sympathy and financial support.

Of course, these claims remain anecdotal and unverified.

Re’s inquiries garnered significant attention from many Canadians and those in the press, forcing CBC to address the apparent inconsistencies of their reporting and respond to Re directly.

According to Re, “CBC News has responded. They are refusing to investigate the credibility of the man’s claims further, saying, “The angle of this report is one man’s personal story about the amount of money he spent on the protests.” In other words, it’s a story, what more can we do?”
