This is absolutely wild, a massive & total failure by #CTV.

The fact that #RachelGilmore is incessantly targeted & harassed by right-wing, Poilievre supporting agitators & trolls *is* part of the election. The attacks on journalists, the misinformation, disinformation, threats & silencing is *in of itself* an important part of the news of the #election happening in #Canada right now & CTV, instead of reporting on it, has decided to duck for cover. #shame
