Without derailing the thread and giving too much of a long winded answer... no. Generally speaking you can photograph anything you want in a public space, as there's no expectation of "privacy" once you leave your front door.

Within context of news journalism the gentleman yelling from the truck invited the attention of the camera to himself, and thus created a "newsworthy" bit of video.

Now the waste of skin the pick up truck could certainly argue that his privacy was violated and try to sue the local CBC office... but no laws were broken by them.
