The unprovoked murder of criminally unaffiliated people going about their day-to-day lives in public spaces by strangers is really, really rare. Not so rare that we should expect it should always be national news in a country like the USA. But it isn’t necessarily evidence of a political agenda at work when it is. If a mom who was shopping at Lululemon got stabbed to death in the Chinook mall parking lot by some deranged passerby, it would 100 per cent be national news across Canada, carried by CBC, CTV, the Globe & Mail, etc.

But it would be in the news that day not a week later. That this is taking off later suggests that there is some artificial amplification going on.
