Did Miller Give Exclusive Heads-Up to TorStar On Terror Raids?

Story here. (Northeast Intelligence Network/Canada Free Press)

Read it all.

Did a November election-bound Toronto Mayor David Miller and his handpicked Chief of Police Bill Blair give The Toronto Star its exclusive scoop on the historic police raid on 17 suspected terrorists, on June 2?

Sources tell
Canada Free Press that many of the approximate 400 officers who participated in the raid felt "compromised" when they arrived at the Pickering police station to find Star staff on site.

When the roughly 400 police officers–who had to sign the Official Secrets Act pledging their total discretion- arrived to deliver the suspects to the Durham Regional Police Station in Pickering–Toronto Star reporters were already there.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper didn't know the raids were forthcoming. Neither did Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty.

But Toronto Mayor David Miller knew. How? The very chief of police he personally appointed told him. Why the Mayor but not the Premier nor even the Prime Minister? Inexplicable! Why didn't he pass on this information to them? Why does he even need it if the higher authorities weren't briefed?

And how else would the Toronto Star have known precisely where and when to be present to take pictures of the supposedly secret police operations? They won't say.

…"Minutes after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police issued a cryptic press release at 9:16 p.m. about a news conference set for the following morning, The Star’s Web site produced a story breaking the news of the police sweep.

(...)

From the outset the liberal leading Toronto Star has reported on the terror suspects in a politically correct fashion. On Saturday, the suspects were described in a front-page story as being caught between two cultures.

Is there a left-wing thing happening wherein there is an attempt to hamstring the war on jihad for ideological purposes?

Regardless of how the Toronto Star knew, why would they do anything that could compromise the ability of Canadian authorities to properly do their jobs and fight jihad to protect Canada and Canadians? Shameful in the extreme. But that is, after all, the MSM! Oh, so cooperative and careful!

So how did the Toronto Star know what the news conference was going to be about? This is suspicious. Not only that, I find it sinister.
