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!
Mais oui!
LOL!
Would that device have wires sticking out of it? or a clock attached to it? This was no accident.
Thanks for the details! Obviously, I only dimly recalled what I read years ago. BTW, I live in Florida, and a family member who had worked for a connected family told me that the family always went to Florida when they were going to have a case of Italian lightning (insurance fraud arson, for those who don't know) or other inexplicable or inconvenient occurrences.
In any case, it was no laughing matter, and the Mafia were not fun guys - and I have absolutely no idea why the media wants to make them look that way.
Oh uh, I'm going to have to remember that one. ;)
Ok, we don't have to argue. But you're wrong. I'm not angry at all. I enjoy the English language. That's probably the shortest possible answer. It's not a non-issue to me. It's nothing to get worked up about. I take your word for it that I gave the impression I was worked up, but I'm not. Just opinionated on the matter.
Well not for nothing, but we murdered quite a few civilians at Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and I don't consider our side thugs. And I don't believe in "honorable" war. The British honorably (stupidly) marched right into the Continentals who dishonorably (wisely) hid behind trees to ambush them. The object of war is to win, and the only honor in war is victory. Or so it seems to me. So the Japs flew planes into ships. The ragheads fly planes into buildings. What the hell is the difference? In either case, they are trying to achieve an objective and we want to stop them.
Oh no. How horrible.
Maybe he was just a disturbed individual or...Maybe a timer was set for 12 noon and automatically changed to 1pm and it didn't go off so he was in the bathroom "working" on it. I wonder if this guy was on the subway an hour earlier. Scary thought. )Is that right? I get the time changes mixed up. I was an hour late for church this morning.)
Thanks for starting this thread. Very important. Welcome aboard!
Maybe so; I bet it killed the germs.
Smiling...
LOL.
He has to be on video somewhere. He didn't just beam down.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police have ruled out terrorism as the cause of an explosion at a Tim Hortons doughnut shop in a trendy downtown area of Toronto on Sunday, killing one man.
The victim was likely an arsonist or attempting suicide, Staff Sgt. Don Cole of Toronto police told reporters hours after the explosion.
"He's not a strap-on al-Qaeda bomber guy," Cole said. "It sounds to me like a guy who either wanted to do a torch job or commit suicide."
Police said the man apparently carried a can of gasoline into a washroom stall about 1 p.m. local time at the doughtnut shop in the city's Yorkville area, and set off a flash fire that killed him."
Moral of the story - Note to self:
No gas in the bathroom.
This ain't over.
