A sophisticated tunnel has been discovered near a major sporting venue and a university in Toronto, reports said Monday, with Canada on edge over the threat of possible extremist attacks.
A municipal worker was walking through woods near York University and the Rexall Center last month when he spotted a piece of corrugated metal on the ground, lifted it up and found a passageway, the public broadcaster CBC said.
The tunnel was about 23 feet long and 22.5 meters tall and was lit by an electric generator. The walls and ceilings had been reinforced and tools had been left inside.
Toronto is hosting the Pan American Games in July and the Rexall Center is one of the venues. The facility also hosts major tennis events.

Canuckistan authorities have made safe assumptions about the who and why of this hideout. That’s why they filled it in instead of placing it under surveillance and being forced to reveal identities.

Poor guys couldn’t afford tickets to events and had to sneak in. I hope they get jobs at the Isis Job Fair. Openings include: Butchers, extermanists, fireman, and knife sharpeners.

The walls and ceilings had been reinforced and tools had been left inside. A heavy smell of brimstome permeated the air and the word XYZZY was found on the wall...

Could be more horrid white Christian Conservative Canadians trying to sneak across the border into the U.S.
Drybacks they are called. Or Drynucks sometimes.

They should have left it alone, when the vipers were inside, load it with cyanide gas and let they croak out like the ants in the movie “Them”.
