I was in a police station working yesterday and I noticed someone streaming the the funeral of Daniel Woodall. Streaming is generally frowned on and I said "why no TV". The response was it's not on TV. Perhaps the person was wrong, but perhaps not. I could find lots of "streaming live" links, but no mention of actual TV coverage.
For those of you who are busy shopping & not paying attention to national security, the person who shot the this police officer was a known operative in "white power". Both the governments of Canada and the United States list violence by these individuals as terrorism. I haven't read the stats for a bit, but I recall it's the most common type of terrorism on Canadian & American soil.
I guess major media didn't want to risk the loss of advertising from their prized advertising accounts? Seeing they were streaming it the infrastructure was already in place. #StayClassy

Bell. They've got time for "Let's Talk" (which, apparently, was a condition of the Astral sale meaning it's not charity but a required commitment). No airtime for the funeral of a dead police officer. #Priorities
