Why was it so important to make sure this story never sees the light of day? Well duh... there was recently a federal election where the Liberal Trudeau decided that they would fast track 25,000 'Syrian refugees' into Canada with essentially zero vetting. When any conservatives raised concerns about the plan, they were ignored and the media downplayed and deep-sixed it. Thus the LSM bent over backwards to support the narrative that "all is good with the position of the Liberals on immigration" and anything countering that view never saw the light of day. Case in point, this story.... This is one of the worst rape stories in Canada of the last several years. We all know that if this story was about some white guy who once thought they knew someone who thought about voting Conservative, it would be wall to wall coverage by all the networks. When CBC and CTV reported the story, the coverage was confined to Montreal....if you need to "report something" so that you don't called on an outright cover-up, limit the damage by only reporting it in a local area where everyone knows all about it already. Even now, outside of Montreal except for internet news sites there is no coverage of it. The creep on trial Walid Mustapha Chalhoub is not a Canadian... he is a recent Muslim immigrant. None of those details are contained even in the local coverage.
Makes you wonder if there are any decent moral people in the media at all.
