OLDCORN: CBC’s double standards and the Belleville synagogue shooting

White or non-white, suspects deserve the same scrutiny. Canadians should expect their public broadcaster to investigate without political favourites.
Shooter Sean Ward

Thank you, CBC, for digging into the background of the Belleville synagogue shooting suspect.

Canadians learned about Sean Ward’s military service, his behaviour before the shooting, and disturbing allegations about his views. Reporters went beyond a police statement. They contacted people who knew him and examined his online activity.

Good. That is what a newsroom should do after gunfire erupts outside a place of worship.
