Tuesday morning, the Fraser Institute — a prominent conservative/libertarian think tank in Vancouver, Canada — received a letter in the mail that contained a white powdery substance. Two women at the think tank were exposed. They were decontaminated at the scene and subsequently hospitalized after police determined the substance could be a harmful irritant.

You’d think everyone on Twitter would be able to come together and oppose this awful attack, but apparently that’s too much to ask of some on the Left:
@cbcnewsbc @VancouverPD @FraserInstitute by 'hazardous materials' you mean the Fraser Institute's ideas? Or did they meet the Koch brothers?

Maybe it's a fresh batch of bullshit for them to disseminate “@News1130radio: Suspicious substance mailed to #FraserInstitute building”
