And silence from main street news.
This country sucks.

Weird that you say that considering CBC has run three stories in the last few days, and broke it before your source did.
But wait! There's more!

Both sources broke it the day before your source published their article.
It is a fucked up problem that needs to be addressed immediately and it will not be solved by lying in order to virtue signal.
What exactly are you doing about it other than the aforementioned spread of misinformation?
Not one of your links is about all six deaths. In fact every one of them is about one death alone, without mentionaing any others.
Do I need to source every single Indigenous death reported by every other outlet for you to get the point?
This is a well known issue, and is going to be debated today in the House.

15:44 if you want to watch for yourself.
As per the rest of your lying.
You should read the links before you make statements about the content of them, and you should stop letting perfect be the enemy of good.
I don't see any evidence of lying from OP, rather it seems like OP only checked https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/rcmp-shooting-elsipogtog-family-statement-1.7321343 instead of going through every page.
And OP is technically correct that there are three more names not mentioned by your sources, but that's besides the point. You would no doubt find them if you looked - but I didn't hear about these names back on TV or the radio when they were first reported (or even see it in print when I got the newspaper for free on the TTC).
So I would definitely that an awareness issue still exists in the public mindset, though at least it's good to here that the House is debating it....
