On Tuesday, video was posted to Twitter of a protestor ripping into a CBC reporter for suggesting that his children, who have traveled with him to Ottawa for the truckers' convoy, should be taken away and are in danger.
The video was taken and posted by CBC journalist Joseph Tunney.
A real man addresses a soyboy who suggests that his kids be taken away from him for bringing them to Ottawa in his truck. Listen to the difference in their voices.

"So you’re saying that my teenagers are threatened for being in Ottawa? Is that what you’re telling me? Answer my question," the protestor said.
"We’ve all answered questions, you answer mine. Are my children in danger for being in Ottawa?" he questioned again.
Tunney began talking about the Children’s Aid Society, but was cut off.
"Ottawa Police Deputy Chief Steve Bell says 25 percent of trucks camped out at Ottawa protests have children living in them." relayed Glen McGregor of CTV.
Bell says police are greatly concerned about children living in trucks -- the risk of carbon monoxide fumes, cold, sanitation and noise levels. Not yet doing any enforcement re kids, will rely on guidance from Children's Aid Service.

"Bell says police are greatly concerned about children living in trucks -- the risk of carbon monoxide fumes, cold, sanitation and noise levels. Not yet doing any enforcement re kids, will rely on guidance from Children's Aid Service."
"Through intelligence, we've learned that almost 25 per cent of the 418 trucks encamped in our city have children living in them — children who could be at risk during a police operation," Bell said during a Tuesday media update.
In a statement to CBC, the Children’s Aid Society confirmed it is working with Ottawa police and said it has a duty to investigate allegations of abuse and whether a child may need protection.
"Are my children in danger from being in Ottawa right now? Tell me yes or no," the protestor pressed again, as a nearby crowd broke out into the Canadian national anthem.
"What do you mean by 'in danger?'" Tunney asked.
"You tell me. You’re coming here trying to say that children are in danger," said the protestor.
He continued on to say that the CBC crew was the "messenger for the devil," asking once again if his children are in danger from being in Ottawa. "Should I send them on the first train out of town?"
"So you’re saying that my kids are going to get hurt?"
"I am not saying anything," Tunney responded, saying that he was just relaying the Children’s Aid Society’s message and wanted to get his response.
"So you’re telling me now, that I should be getting my kids out of town because they’re going to get hurt? You already said PD is going to come in here and do what? What are they — what — 'cause you don’t give a sh*t about nobody, all you care about is your paycheck. You sold your soul a long time ago," he said over the reporter, pointing to each member of the crew.
"You work for the devil, that’s who you work for," he said.
The protestor once again questioned whether his kids are in danger, to which Tunney responded: "I don’t know the future, like, I don’t know, I mean, all I can tell you —"
"Well why are you here trying to act like you’re concerned about kids? I have two teenagers here that are in my car. Are they in danger, yes or no?" The protestor asked, as Tunney said that he’s here to document responses to the organization’s statement.
Tunney once again said that he can’t see the future, to which the protestor said "go f*ck yourself then," and walked away.
