Lies

But is ok ?

These protesters are acting like the fools did in the states at the white house. Hope they are proud of themselves.

Shameful

Terry FOX would love the idea of the Canadian flag draped over him in support of FREEDOM

how is that defaced?

Can you please compare this to the BLM protest violence photos !! Or you can’t cause you sold your soul to the devil!

Hold up... This is the defacing they are repeating everyday? 🤣😭

Sad

So, the Canadian flag is a defacement, but the rainbow flag isn't? I know Terry was Canadian, was he lgbtq?

Some people are not playing with a full deck.

The Exact people who were behind storming the U.S capitol wants to storm our Capital.

The truckers behaviours were disgusting, Trudeau is right. Breaking windows. Vandalizing statues. Inciting violence. Attacking people. Were hateful. Being disrespecting of the law…. …oh wait, that was BLM and Trudeau took a knee with them.

You spread nothing more than false news and lies.

They wrapped him in the Canadian flag; I fail to see the harm

😡

I'm not picking sides here... But he appears to just be wearing flags of Canada... Not defaced.

Power to the people!!!! 🤜🏾🤛🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

why is the press giving these idiots any space on media? who is trying to stir trouble for ratings and to what agenda

If you haven’t noticed the protesters cleaned everything up after their party. getthetruth

But yet why aren’t we talking about how they cleaned it up and took everything off of him…hmm..that’s right you’re just interested in release the bad press as usual.

Defaced? Is all of the mainstream media in Canada biased?

Imbécile. On ne touche pas à Terry Fox

Isn’t there a law against defacing public statues?

What the hell where you expecting, it was not right to do this to the monuments around the parliament buildings, I agree 100%, when you have a crowd this size and it’s a protest against government regulations this was bound to happen, it’s a failure of our education system, kids

Umm defaced? or decorated? how is putting our Countries Flag on something defacing it. Whats wrong with you?

I think what u meant to say was defiled by Antifa members, and cleaned up by protesters……

BUT this is ok.

Funny they don't show the people who took the time to completely clean it, they washed it to, media only shows the negative.

How about we share the video of the convoy group cleaning ? 😌

That's one statue, never to be touched

Fools on the left and fools on the right! And j arden, ask how your music gets transported to a stage oh yes not a ASTRO van! Ask a trucker ask a farmer, you sheep 🐑

Just don’t mess with it in any way. Not cool. Be grateful you are a Canadian!

wow

What about this?

Shameful how you're reporting on the sad behavior of a few instead of reporting on the beautiful patriotic, uniting, loving, peaceful behavior of millions of Canada lovers!... Shame on you, CTV!

Funny how nothing gets posted about it being fixed and cleaned 🙄

No defacing here. Terry get the 'flag treatment' every Canada Day. No one bats an eye.

please stop giving fuel to your antivaxxers base. The statue was disrespected, not defaced. And Canada was disrespected with those upside-down flags. You don't like our laws & medical policies? Go south of the border. Florida will love you.

If this were a statue of my son, I would be so devastated. I cannot wait to see photos of the people that did this so they can be publicly shamed.

REPLACE IT WITH THE OLD STARS AND STRIPES, EH? WE COULD USE A NEW COLONY. MAINE NEEDS SOME NEW HOMIES BECAUSE VERMONT AND NEW HAMPSHIRE ARE ALL WEIRD AND STUFF.

2/2 Presently there are people guarding the statues and have flowers laid around them. Tell the truth and the whole story. People are leaning more towards getting their news from the people !

No no. Now let’s tell the truth here … someone who does not represent the convoy or it’s views took it upon himself to drape flags on the statue. Defacing a statue would be what was done the prime minister statutes but you don’t want to report that.

Define defaced !!!!

OPP announced between 1.5-2 million people in attendance yesterday. CTV must be scrambling now that this is the worst thing you’ve able to report about for 2 days like a broken record 🤣

Disgusting….I really hope the disrespectful are US truckers …not our own people….that would be such a disappointment….

Terry Fox statue defaced by Ottawa protesters

Simon Fraser University

They should be ashamed

Correction by government plants to deflect from the real reason for this demonstration

Over 50,000 heavy trucks protesting and the story of the day is someone wrapped a flag around a statue. State media quite desperate to make them look like criminals

I watched the video. The crowd was praising his statue. They did not deface his statue.

Shame shame shame

Defaced?! Fake News as usual

Disgusting!

And this is why we don't trust you ctvnews

Fuckin just showing the negatives like usual. Fuckin cornballs.

Shame

What is this called ?

Ok sure lol it was the flag and a sign

Lmao.

No one should ever drape the Canada flag

FakeNews

Attacks on our beloved Canadian hero, TerryFoxCanada in the name of “freedom for Canada”‘is beyond sad. I am NOT a supporter of this group.

You're journalists. Use proper English. The statue wasn't defaced. It was disrespected. And the upside-down flag disrespected Canada. Using the word 'defaced' allows those fringe lunatics more opportunities to delegitimize information we have about them that is factual. Like...

Well here is one for you, do some homework before putting shit out like that! I make a better reporter than you! Is this ok or was it defaced?

Seems everyone like to dress him up

Why’d they do terry like that what does he have to do with this 😢

Lies, it was kids in their twenties dressed with snow pants and packs there to party, no peaceful truckers did that, they dont dress like that but nice try though CTV! MSM no one believes you anymore!

we can find hundreds of examples of this happening, even in situations where Terry is being honored. If this is all you can complain about these peaceful protesters doing then your narrative is broken.

South Asian origin truckers are not to be seen in this protest. This was more of a white supremacist MAGA kind of protest with Swastikas and the confederate flags than anything else!

-Lets not dwell on that guys, one of your own stations reported earlier there had been no damage or injuries, so in view of this rather large protest I think they were fairly well behaved overall...

That is so sad. He is a Canadian Hero. What he did was REMARKABLE!!!

Lets get this straight! The woke left and paid for media considers covering a national monument with a Canadian flag an act of defacement. Yet a year ago it was ok for BLM protests to decapitate and topple the first PM of Canada? Absorb that for a moment.

What a sick bunch of people. They call themselves righteous for freedom. I call them sick and disturbed. Sick protesters are piggy backing on the truckers who may have a cause.

Absolutely despicable. Terry Fox is a true Canadian hero. The people who did this have no respect.

Did Castro’s kid tell you to write that from wherever he’s hiding?

This is a silly headline and just one more reason people trust msm less and less.

Really? For just a Canadian flag you called defaced? When some groups topped statues, monuments and burned whole cities few months ago, where were you?

Oh dear Canada.

Draped in a Canadian flag is defacing? You are defacing journalism.

FakeNews TruckersForFreedom2022 TrudeauResign TrudeauHiding

Typical media making something out of nothing burger situation.

lol “defaced”

Defaced? Just for placing a Canadian flag around the statue? But when they placed a LGTBQ flag around him you don’t say it was defaced!! You CTVNEWS make me sick

🤔

CTV, how ignorant can you be? An upside down flag is the international sign of distress, but you choose to ignore it

Goofs bought at CTV

de·face /dəˈfās/ Learn to pronounce verb past tense: defaced; past participle: defaced spoil the surface or appearance of (something), for example by drawing or writing on it. 'he defaced library books'

Defaced? Did you upload the wrong picture or something? I guess CTV hates the Canadian flag now.

Shame on you 💔

Gross. Absolutely un-Canadian.

When Queen Elizabeth statue was destroyed and thrown in water you were awfully quiet. Double standards or dirty agenda in play here? You are not serious news media outlet by any means. Far left activists.

Not a flag. Oh no.

“Defaced”

I’m not saying it’s right. But someone put a CA flag on the statue And a sign promoting freedom. It was immediately taken down and it not a reflection is the thousands of other ppl who are attending the rally who are being peaceful and respectful. As already discussed on CTV news

Would you agree that is in accurate representation of vaccinated people. Or would you say it was likely an extremest who doesn’t represent even a small percentage of that group of people. The same logic applies.

What about when worke leftists destroyed monuments?

Putting a Canadian flag on anything is now a crime. Criminal Code will be amended….”Display of a Canadian flag” is contrary to sec Covid-19 of the ccc. 🤔

Pretty sure the flag comes off don't worry.

Obviously we will never know, but I wonder how many of those a-holes have benefited from the Terry Fox foundation.

You are the one defacing the truth🤨

It’s Canadian flags. Nothing more.

You are spreading fake news with the ill intent to incite hatred and violence. rcmpgrcpolice This is what defacing means, which is not what happened in reality.

It shouldn't have happened, but it wasn't 'defaced'. It wasn't spray painted or toppled or broken. Protesters added an upside down Canadian flag and a freedom sign. Take a breath.

What exactly is your agenda CTV?

*decorated

Correction Terry Fox statut dressed to protect im from the cold ;) Thanks

Not cool. Not cool at all

Um i see no paint defacing this statue, I see a Canadian flag which this statue is supposed to represent Canadians no?

Fixed. Terry Fox statue defaced by domestic terrorists CdnMediaFailed CdnMediaFails

Are you sure it was the protestors or the ones that were planted in bye the government and media plus don’t forget the skids of bricks as well planted. The media and government is so scared right now they don’t know what to say. Have a wonderful day

Our nation's flag is 'defacing' this statue.

Not a 'freedom convoy' supporter. But that's hardly 'defacing' with a 🇨🇦 flag a sign place on it. This is defacing ⬇️

So disrespectful

Gotta love these so called 'Patriots' as they stand by watching others wave nazi/Confederate flags on our nation's capital. I'm sure you would have all the support of our fallen soldiers 🤦‍♂️

Terry Fox would have been OUTRAGED that cancer patients have had their treatment/surgeries postponed or cancelled all together. Not to mention how many early diagnosis fell through the cracks due to these ridiculous lockdowns and restrictions. So please. FreedomConvoy2022
