I've seen a couple of really good questions in the comments.
First, who is paying for this suit? Seems like an obvious question for a reporter to ask. Follow on question: is this how Trudeau's $100M gift is going to be spent?
Second, why out of all the available choices did the Globe only select examples where there was very high levels of intoxication involved? Is there a high correlation between very high levels of intoxication and police classifying something as unfounded? I think that without contradictory examples that is the way it would seem to most folks. Again it seems like something a writer/reporter would have looked into.
