There are still more questions than answers when it comes to the investigation into a suspected arson at a North York hotel two weeks ago.
But one thing Toronto police want to make clear about the investigation into the Oct. 2 fire on the third floor at the Radisson Hotel Toronto East at Victoria Park Ave. and Hwy. 401 is there is no evidence it was an attack on refugees staying there — a notion some have irresponsibly been floating and reporting.
Yet every media report I have watched or read has ignored this and instead pushed the narrative the fire was fuelled by anti-refugee sentiment.
It’s a good angle that I would cover too if it were true. It may turn out to be true, but it is not yet clear that’s the case.
Still, many went ahead and reported the supposed connection as fact.
There are more problems in this story.
