The biggest problem on our side of the border is that little dumb cnut Pierre Poilièvre went on in yesterday's questioning period at the House of Commons by calling the incident a terrorist attack and then blamed it on CTV News for being wronged. There is one oopsie about that statement though: Poilièvre spoke at the House of Commons yesterday at 2:24 PM Eastern while CTV News tweeted about the incident at 2:43 PM Eastern. Pretty obvious to me that "PeePee" was watching Faux News prior to the questioning period.

That being said, there is a really severe indictment to make against right-wing media and right-wing politicians on how they spoke about this before the FBI or the New York State Governor's Office even released a preliminary statement.
The CBC actually did an article today on how the US right immediately blew this up way out of proportion and with zero relation to the facts:

Bizarre.
