To make matters worse, the province this comes from, New Brunswick, is essentially a feudal state owned by one family, the Irvings. They own the gas stations, media outlets, and just about everything else in that province

Wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones pushing to cover this

I never heard of the Irvings so I googled. I found an article - "The Irvings, Canada’s robber barons" - but the scrollbar was suspiciously small. Sure enough when I scrolled down far enough - I reached the paywall. I fucking hate that.
