The 73-year-old man shot to death by Ontario Provincial Police officers in Haliburton Wednesday morning has been estranged from his family for decades, CBC News has learned.

Their comments come as his neighbours continue to paint a picture of a reclusive figure who was sometimes even hostile.

"He was a very reclusive man. He's been here, I'd say, between eight to 10 years," neighbour Garfield Munshaw told CBC News on Thursday.
Hmmm... CBC has determined that this old white dude was obviously a terrible person who was just begging to be obliterated.

Would it be the same dark, unflattering narrative if there had been the tiniest element of ethnicity in the mix?

I suspect not...insert alt text hereYour post-national broadcaster basically absolved the Toronto Beaches shooter... who violently ended two young female lives.

Anybody else seeing a pattern here?

AFTERWORD: Do cranky, old lives matter?
Valu-Mart employee Tianna Frances told CBC the man was making the point, "If we didn’t have to force him and tell him that he couldn’t come into the store, nothing would have happened, really."

"He would have got his groceries and went along with his day."
