What the mainstream media don't like to report

Agent 3 had a lot of time on his hands today, so has been reading the online news more thoroughly than usual. Do the lickspittle media tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth (he asks)?

Certainly not, when it comes to facts that might throw shade on the oppressed members of "marginalized communities". 

You know who we mean. Here's an example, the entirety of a report on CTV News about arrests recently made in Peel Region, west of Toronto.

The most populous areas of Peel Region are the cities of Brampton and Mississauga, in which the visible minorities are white.


Six arrested following series of shootings in Peel Region

Six men face more than 30 charges in total following a three-month investigation by Peel Regional Police into a rash of gun violence.

Police say separate shootings between Aug. 13 and Oct. 3 of this year saw multiple homes and vehicles hit by gunfire, and a 27-year-old man suffered severe injuries.

They say six suspects, all men between the ages of 19 and 21 have been arrested on a range of charges, including attempted murder and various weapons-related offences.

All six were held in custody pending a bail hearing.

In addition to the arrests, police say officers also seized four illegal handguns and more than 50 rounds of ammunition.

The investigation involved officers from the 22 Division Criminal Investigations Bureau (CIB), 11 Division CIB, Specialized Enforcement Bureau, Intelligence, Emergency Support Services and Uniform Patrol.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 23, 2022.

That's it. That's all she wrote. Do you have any questions? Suspicions? Agent 3's search turned up the CP24 version of the same story, headlined

Six people charged in four separate shootings in Peel Region

Six people have been arrested in connection with four separate shootings in Peel Region over a three-month period.

In a news release on Saturday evening, Peel Regional Police announced the arrests in the shootings that occurred between Aug. 13 and Oct. 3.

Police say multiple residential units and vehicles were struck by gunfire in all the incidents. They add that a 27-year-old man suffered severe injuries in one of the shootings.

As a result of a multi-unit investigation, police said they seized four illegal handguns and more than 50 rounds of ammunition and laid more than 30 charges.

The six suspects have been identified as 20-year-old Kevonte Marksman, 20-year-old Elijah Kerridge-Lall, 20-year-old Shamar Lindsay, 20-year-old Nayshawn Oakley, 19-year-old Marquez Senior and 21-year-old Tyanthony Yee-Brown.

The emphasis of the penultimate paragraph is Agent 3's. There's one more paragraph, the usual plea that anyone with information contact the cops. 

What (Agent 3 asks) do you suppose accounts for CTV News' failure to include the names of those charged? It's odd, considering the CTV News and CP24 are all part of the Bell Media conglomerate. It's odd, too, that neither report had mug shots of the accused. Not odd at all is the fact that neither report used the words "black" or "Black".

VIDEO: Max Bernier reacts to Antifa "peaceful protest" at Hamilton ON

Thanks to Agent 2 for letting us know about this video, produced by Canadian Press and posted to the lefty Huffington Post website. You'll hear Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada, giving his thoughts on the melee between his supporters and Antifa/Communist protesters outside the McIntyre Arts Centre of Mohawk College in Hamilton ON, before Sunday night's roundtable on freedom of speech, intercut with clips of people milling about.


It's interesting to compare that video with those shown on CHCH-TV, the independent local TV station. Note from Ed.: Oh!!! Very interesting!!! I just got the embed code from the HuffPost article, and tried to post it here, but... see above! But there's more than one way to defeat censorship! The CP video is now on YouTube. Check it out.



Nowhere in the CP video do you see actual scenes of the violence perpetrated by the Antifa punks, notably the woman with the red bandana covering her face who is seen clearly in the CHCH video attacking first a Bernier supporter wearing the old Red Ensign on his shoulders, and then our own Agent 3.

The CP story and video has been picked up not just by the HuffPost but by the state-owned Canadian Broadcorping Castration, which is now saying that "more arrests are possible". Who could they mean? The lady with the red bandana [like we used to wear playing cowboys and indians. Ed.] ? Stay tuned.

Further viewing: Frank Vaughan, one of the PPC candidates on the panel, has posted "Rubin Event Aftermath - The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" on YouTube. Just under 21 minutes, it's his patient and understanding take on the "peaceful protest" and how the whole chaotic scene relates to freedom of speech... for everyone... even the loony left. Quote: "Why is assault not assault when left-wing mobs commit it?!"

What is Jagmeet Singh saying?

Jagmeet Singh is fighting his first general election as leader of Canada's Not-so-new Democratic Party. The socialists (for that's what they are) are struggling to hold onto third place in the polls, facing a serious challenge [seriously? Ed.] from the loonier left Green Party.

Mr Singh was in Toronto this morning, where he promised to put a cap on the amount telecoms could charge long-suffering Canucks for cellphone and internet service. Not that it matters, because the NDP has two chances of forming the next government -- slim and none. Anyhoo, following his speech, the turbanned tribune fielded some questions from the press. Adrian Wyld, of Canadian Press, snapped this photo.


Said photo appeared with the story on the CTV News website, around lunchtime (EDT). It also appeared on the CBC News website, where it remained for about 40 seconds before being taken down and replaced with a stock shot. Maybe the picture has a hidden meaning that Walt didn't get? What does that emoticon mean anyway? Answers on the back of a postage stamp, please, to the usual address.
