Yep...... this shooting has gone down the memory hole because the left wing press in Canada doesn't want the people of Canada to look too deeply at the shooter...
Jihad Denial in Toronto: Hussain was a Known Wolf
According to police, Hussain -- who had lived for a time in Afghanistan and Pakistan -- had “expressed 'support' for a website that was seen as 'pro-ISIL.'” This and other fishy online activity had led the authorities to speak to him. Indeed, reported Warmington, Hussain had been on the radar of the Toronto Police, the Ontario Provincial Police, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Well, that certainly sounds dispositive. But while Warmington was serving up this hard information about Hussain's jihadist sympathies and shady background (what was he doing all that time in Afghanistan and Pakistan?), virtually every other journalist or public figure in Canada seemed determined to lead the public down this or that garden path --whether by calling for even tighter gun laws, meditating on the mystery of the individual human soul, serving up academic hogwash about toxic masculinity, or embracing the argument that it was all about mental problems. They were willing, in short, to make any argument, however absurd, rather than to acknowledge the manifest possibility that a young ISIS fan named Faisal Hussain might be yet another enemy within, driven to mow down infidels in the name of the caliphate.
