Here is another one of those lazy stories where they start with the conclusion they want to reach and then go fishing for examples of it. CTV News, which recently fretted that police had done nothing while truckers threw up a little stand in the park to distribute food, is looking for people who’ve lost friends over the Freedom Convoy 2022 in Ottawa.
Have you lost friends over the convoy protests? We want to hear from you. https://t.co/K7ngL1Kt31 pic.twitter.com/V8LY3YSTXX

My brother and father were lost in the Battle for Rideau Locks. It was looking grim but the brave volunteers of The Horton's Militia drove the truckers back. https://t.co/5PDlBiJswn

Dear Martha:
The cacophony is horrendous, the sounds of truck horns and children in bounce houses chills me to the bones.
This may be my last letter.

My Aunt Blanche perished Saturday evening after getting caught in the Electric Slide mob.

Non specific prayers for Aunt Blanche! Her tragic loss was not in vain!

I lost two buttons playing street hockey with the truckers.

Good lord, the comments – drowning in self-righteousness
— Hollaria Briden, Esq. (@HollyBriden) February 7, 2022
I’m asking myself if I want to get sucked into that or not. I am the type who can’t resist responding. 🥴

I have more friends.
— Robert Watt (@RobertW75392563) February 7, 2022
I’ve made friends over this.
Thanks for asking CTV!

Gained friends

Thank goodness my friends are adults and we can agree to disagree… move on and dance and drink after. ❤️🇨🇦

Lost friends. Bahahah. I made over 250 new relationships. This is better than Tinder. 😂😂

On the contrary, I've made many new friends within this growing "fringe" movement.

Yes!!! I lost @JustinTrudeau !!! Does anyone know where he is???
— Scorpion 🦂 (@sciortino_r) February 7, 2022
Made more.
— JohnLoriEh (@JohnLoriEh) February 7, 2022
No, because I surround myself with people who respect each other. For or against, we can agree to disagree and move on.
— Kayla (@momwho_) February 7, 2022
With my “friends” we allow each other to have different views and beliefs. That is part of the pleasure of knowing them!
— Jack Pontiac (@JackPontiac1) February 7, 2022
Nope, actually I have made more friends
— Line Fournier (@fournierl) February 7, 2022
If I lost friends over a political disagreement, I'd question how shallow those relationships are and how thin skinned I was.
— C.G. (@CD14Convert) February 7, 2022
So your looking for arguments and division? Grown ups don't have to agree on everything. I still love family and friends who have much different opinions than I do. That's called maturity.
— Steve Rose (@Rosiespiggyback) February 7, 2022
Are you kidding me? Strangers are hugging me I feel free I feel hope. But I’ve lost friends and family over the mandates. Good try CTV stir the pot

This is by far the lowest of lows I’ve seen CTV go yet… Polling to see if their divisiveness is working.
— Ashley Steen (@ashley_steen) February 7, 2022
Lost friends no. Lost faith in @CTVNews for not reporting what's actually going on and fabricating news and twisting the truth to discredit the protest? Definitely YES!!
— Dave McEachern (@Dav_mce) February 7, 2022
No, I have lost friends because of propaganda that is spread through @CTVNews. You don’t even pretend to listen to the other side.
— AntiTyrantBryant🇨🇦🚚 (@BryantGaudry) February 7, 2022
Hey look over here. Our mainstream media looking to divide people more. Remember when you didn't care what your neighbors beliefs were and politics were boring. Let's get back to that and not amplifying hatred
— rptr machine (@RptrMachine) February 7, 2022
I am no longer friends with CTV & CBC news
— Grimmstyle (@Grimmstyle1) February 7, 2022
Keep trying to showcase division CTV 🙄 it’s what you’re best at
