The report was among several that falsely claimed the Freedom Convoy had turned violent.

**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.

**CRA had confirmation? From the Easter Bunny? Or Santa Claus? Truckers were *believed* to be**… **Unconfirmed claims about believing some thing should always be questioned.**

**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.**

**Still more lies**

Reporters with *The Canadian Press* **claimed protesters had accosted members of the public outside the Commons.**

“Have any of your MPs been prevented from coming in the building, accosted, threatened, had any kind of of incidents with those in the convoy? We’ve heard of others,” a reporter asked Government House Leader Mark Holland.

**“MPs I’ve spoke to have been able to access Parliament,” replied Holland, adding: “*I came in this morning* *without any problems.*”**

**Hypocrisy**

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis (Haldimand-Norfolk, Ont.) accused critics of the Freedom Convoy of a double standard.

***“We recognize the need to prevent protesters from interrupting and blocking critical care facilities like hospitals, but not railroads,***” said Lewis.

VIA Rail in 2020 blamed ***Wet’suwet’en First Nation rail blockades in part for a $33.6 million loss in the first quarter of the year.*** Sympathy blockades by the Mohawk Nation saw Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller meet personally with protesters near Belleville, Ont.

“***We show up at protest and take a knee but hide from 100,000 truckers and citizens who are rallying for democracy,” said MP Lewis, referring to Black Lives Matter protests on Parliament Hill.***
