My cynical take is this is exactly why CTV, which was clearly and strongly biased against the protest when it was happening, decided to publish this particular story right now. Normalization aka boiling the frog. You start with a case in the gray area that generally seems okay, allow people to process it, then move to cases on the other side of the gray area, then move outside of (old) gray area entirely. This happened with so many things recently. Social media is making this process a hundred times more powerful.
