Toronto: 2 dead, 24 wounded in a mass shooting - and not a peep in the US media

It used to be that a mass shooting would make the news. I guess when it happens in a gun-free utopia, it's not news.
Oh, and I guess Toronto has a bit of a gang problem.

They need to see how much of "Fast and Furious, eh" they'll need to cover up before reporting on it.

Yet more proof that it isn't gun laws that matter but demographics.
Vermont has virtually zero gun laws yet has almost zero gun murders (especially non-family related). That's because Vermont if full of civilized, highly evolved, high IQ, White people.
It's the places that are racially diverse (especially the places with lots of nigs and spics) that have the most gun crime.
We Whites need guns to defend ourselves from the packs of feral mud people that "liberals" have flooded the Western (White) world with.

Vancouver B. C. has lots of blacks but they're African immigrants.
Very low crime rate.
Seattle, just around the corner has lots of blacks but they're
jive talkin' Americans. Very high crime rate.

Any chance of the U.S. re-gifting some of our home grown negroes and imported mexicans to Canada?

Oh, I could find a bunch of stories too ...buried on the back pages. A shooting like that in the US (as evidenced by the CO shootings) would be ALL OVER THE MEDIA's front pages.

And it was, in Canada! Canada has two national newspapers, the Globe and Mail and the National Post. Toronto has two papers, the Star and the Sun. For perspective you could look at the Vancouver Sun, the Montreal Gazette (published in English, the other three are French language, naturellement!), and one of the Calgary papers. All have websites. If you're really interested, check them out for their coverage of this continuing story.
That there is virtually nothing in American Media about the Toronto fatal shootings is not surprising and not unusual. Americans routinely ignore their neighbors to the north. It is a rare Canadian that couldn't tell you that Barack Obama is the President of the U.S. and a democrat. It is a rare American who knows the name, job title, and party affiliation of Canada's leader (Steve Harper, Prime Minister, Conservative).
