Stalking, doxxing, and attempting to intimidate journalists is an attack on the freedom of the press. We cannot allow this to happen in Canada.

This is awful; I hope police are able to identify the perpetrators. It is an unpleasant way to have one's work validated, but clearly you're asking the right questions, Carrie. Thanks for continuing to push on the story.
