Premier's tweet deleted and reposted with altered wording
Shortly after the news of Zameer's bail was made public, Ontario Premier Doug Ford tweeted his shock at the accused's release, saying "this is beyond comprehension."
"It's completely unacceptable that the person responsible for this heinous crime is now out on bail. Our justice system needs to get its act together and start putting victims and their families ahead of criminals," the tweet said.
Ford's original tweet indicated Zameer was 'responsible for' Northrup's death. (Twitter)
Minutes later, Ford's tweet had been deleted and reposted with slightly different wording. The phrase "the person responsible for this heinous crime" was swapped for "the person charged for this heinous crime."
Even this, though certainly less sure of himself is really unnecessary! Nothing wrong with saying "I will be interested in knowing why the person accused has been released on bail" but that's too nuanced for Mr Ford.

These are the bits I found interesting, and perhaps a less reactionary Premier might have seen fit to consider.....
