Luker, your alternative explanation makes sense.

I started looking more carefully and found this:

What is beyond pathetic, is that Sohi did not think to tweet the actual event info. in his twitter.

You had to know to look in the Sudbury chamber of commerce and then to look at eventbrite to know about this.

And it was tweeted Oct.26, 2018 by the Chamber!

There was NO excuse for not providing the details of this event at Vale Cavern.

The gov't of Canada detailed the other meetings but chose to keep this one Undetailed when the details were readily available.

And Sohi chose not to re-tweet the details of the  Chamber's invite to this event.

And to book such an expensive room seating so many for this?? What a waste of money

Just sickening from every direction.
