It is on CTV news channel.

Just breaking - explosion in a coffee shop in downtown Toronto, Canada.

Reporter just talked about some sort of explosives strapped to a guy and explosion occured in a busy district of the city.

Will keep you posted!

As opposed to what, a non-homicide bomber?

It makes you wonder.............

Now I thought CANADA was a safe country.....where the big nanny state watcheth over thee and thy safety.

"In the restroom."
Talk of a REALLY explosive fart.

[cardinal4]

I refuse to call them suicide bombers..

Terrorists are attacking Canada. Bastards.

ADMIN was fast. thanks

ROP alert???

I doubt that it was Buddhists.

[ExSoldier]

Oh NO!

I'll bet the government blames the guns and probably the U.S. next.

[mewzilla]

Odds are. Thank goodness it went off in the loo.

Richard Miniter writes, in Disinformation, that our greatest threat of terrorists getting into this country comes from our Northern border by far.

Detonator caught in his zipper? Another good reason to not wear explosives.

[ozoneliar]

This seems to be the work of an individual nut case ... doubt if there's a terrorist connection.

Now, that's not rampant speculation! /sarc

The blast occurred in the washroom of the coffee shop located near the intersection of Yonge and Bloor Streets, just after 1 p.m.

Sounds like he should be blaming Taco Bell.

[Larry Lucido]

Good thing Canada no longer supports the US in Iraq, or they'd have been REALLY mad.

[operation clinton cleanup]

a man had entered the washroom shortly before the blast with explosives strapped to his body.

Hmmm.. so someone saw he had explosives strapped to his body before he went in the washroom?

this doesn't fit the typical pattern of a homicide bomber .. they seem to like to be in the middle of a crowd, and when the explosives go off, it's so vast, the bomber's body is in hundreds of pieces stewn around the establishment. The bomber isn't identified yet as customer or employee. It'll be interesting to see the story unfold.

Richard Miniter writes, in Disinformation, that our greatest threat of terrorists getting into this country comes from our Northern border by far.

Nah, can't be true. The self proclaimed security experts on FR and people like Joseph Farah have said that all terrorists will cross the Southern border.

End of sarcasm.
