Breitbart and the Daily Caller have been found to be lying about a rally in support for Trump outside the parliament buildings in Ottawa. Breitbart and the Daily Caller claim there were 5000 people but the Ottawa police claim there was less than 100 people present, more people showed up to the yoga session and a lyme disease rally that day. The Parliamentary Protection Services claimed there was 300-400. See the iPolitics article here.

Looks like it is not only the Liberal mainstream media perpetuating fake news now is it.

Breitbart has long been a sewer (after Andrew died), and DC only slightly upstream of it.

I read the material and , to be correct, Daily Caller made the claim and Breitbart repeated it. THe only picture I saw didn't show all that many people. However the quote was they were 'building toward 5000 people' they didn't say there was 5000 there. I know its a technicality. Still they were obviously highly exaggerating the turnout. so yea it happens on both sides.
 
"It was the biggest Canadian crowd ever to watch a Trump campaign rally. It was huge, huge, huge. Reports to the contrary are just more fake Canadian news".
