The Canada Revenue Agency is refusing to comment on false reports it issued saying angry truckers were looting their offices, says Blacklock’s Reporter.
The report was among several that falsely claimed the Freedom Convoy had turned violent.
CRA management in a bulletin to staff claimed it had “confirmation” truckers opposed to vaccine orders began raiding office building near their headquarters. Truckers were believed to be looting offices and causing property damage, it said.
There were no such raids.
The Ottawa Police Service confirmed it had not received any reports of looting and had not arrested any trucker for mischief, property damage, assault or other Criminal Code offence.
“Police are aware many demonstrators have announced their intention to stay in place,” police said in a statement.
The Liberal MP whose riding is home to Parliament Hill on Monday told the Commons the truckers’ protest was so raucous that residents feared to leave their homes, but he provided no examples.
“My community is under siege right now,” said MP Yasir Naqvi (Ottawa Centre).
