Immigration lawyer reacts as some “Lost Canadians” told to return citizenship certificate

Who in the news room made the decision to “sanitize” this story? You should be ashamed.
Do you not think that the assaulted were all young women is not important?
This is the Canada they voted for.
Your article is wildly understated. You present it like it no big deal. What’s wrong with your ‘news’ organization? You go out of your way to underplay this horrific terrifying attack. You go are these terrifying criminals? We should all be notified of who they are and ensured they are behind bars.
You present it like oops they met some strange people in the park but it’s all good now no worries. That’s the tone of your article. Disturbing this is how you write about this. Shame on you all.
This was an attack by brown men on a peaceful group, not a confrontation.
This is missing a context that one of the victims hand was cut off and the perpetrators were brown immigrants
You said “Three people suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Police said two of the injured were taken to hospital for treatment and have since been released.” This statement is very wrong. One of those three people almost died. They suffered serious injuries and blood loss. There hand was cut off and is getting surgery reattachment on June 6.
