Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Toronto police arrest man after Thanksgiving theft at Second Harvest charity

The damage extends beyond theft. Second Harvest says most of its food-rescue trucks were put out of commission over Thanksgiving weekend, with repairs estimated at $80,000. CBC News' report on the subsequent arrest drew nearly 100,000 views in eight hours, making it the most-watched of the channel's fifteen new uploads.

Toronto police say security footage and community tips led them to arrest a man from Oakville. The practical consequence for the charity, a fleet largely unable to do its work, gives this local report a significance beyond the arrest itself. It is also CBC's busiest video by daily views right now.

Washington supplied another substantial strand of viewing: two uploads covered Donald Trump's announcement that the Pentagon would no longer livestream the Fort Hood shooter's execution. Both sit among the channel's fastest-moving videos.

Back in Canadian politics, Power & Politics examined Mark Carney's unity pitch in Alberta as the separation referendum approached. Its B.C. debate discussion brought in The Narwhal's Shannon Waters and CHEK News' Rob Shaw to assess whether David Eby had got his message across while on the defensive.

CBC collected about 14 million views over seven days, with its subscriber count unchanged. That weekly viewing total placed it behind Associated Press and NowThis Impact among its nearby broadcaster peers, while its daily viewing is modestly above its usual pace. For CBC, the strongest new draw was the Toronto report about a charity's interrupted work.
