Here is an Stockwell Day excerpt (and my 2 responces) from the CTV report:
(...) Public Security Minister Stockwell Day, meanwhile, continued to brush of questions about a call for a public inquiry.
"The thing that was interesting in this particular incident, three people in question were spotted by protesters because were not engaging in violence," Day said Friday in Vancouver.
MY RESPONSE: COMPLETELY FALSE. The 3 officers were outed several minutes earlier along route 148 between train station & Crevier Gas station. The 3 officers were told by the real protesters to GET LOST and GO BACK away from the police lines. Moreover there was no violence in the area of the train station...the press corp, the Montebello citizens and the police own videos can attest to that!
"They were being encouraged to throw rocks and they were not throwing rocks, it was the protesters who were throwing the rocks. That's the irony of this," said Day, adding the actions were substantiated by the video that he has seen of the protests.
MY RESPONSE: COMPLETELY FALSE. They were never told to throw rocks. The 3 undercovers were told by the noir/rouges to leave the protests, repeatedly, for several minutes.

either grossly misinformed, or deceitful. Moreover, Minister Day's
embarrassingly incongruous press conference statements shed considerable
doubt on his ethics, judgment, as well as his ability to represent Canadians as
Public Safety Minister.
For which public are you in charge of ensuring safety for, Minister Day?
Finally, is not a Canadian citizen practicing peaceful Gandhi style civil
disobedience included in your vision of Canada?
