10 more churches were targeted last night, all in Calgary. An attempt was made to torch one of them but was unsuccessful.

So, at minimum, that's 17 places of worship that have been scenes of "vandalism".

Why is this not causing more outrage?

If these were mosques, this would be labelled up and down by media as hate crimes.

But because is Christianity/Catholocism that's being targeted, we get the much softer title of "vandalism"?

It's an interesting dichotomy IMO.
