CTV News reports:
In the video recorded near Parliament Hill, Sen. Michael MacDonald [above right] expressed support for the protesters who occupied Ottawa for more than three weeks. “It’s a cross-section of Canadians who have said we have had enough of the bullying, and the duplicity and the lies,” he said.
Reached Sunday night, MacDonald said the video was recorded Wednesday night when he was returning from dinner and had been drinking. He said he had asked the person with the camera not to record.
“I’m mortified,” he told CTV News. He said he will issue an apology in the Senate on Monday. “I’m going to go up and take my medicine,” he said. “I have always been a responsible senator. I’ve let a lot of people down.”
