Default Arsonist Suspected of Burning Down CN Building

Does anyone believe that this wasn't related to the protests?

For a second I thought you meant the CN Tower and I wondered if I was missing some major news.......

Not having been to TO aside from an airport stopover, if you chopped down the CN tower like you were felling a tree, would it be possible to hit Jane & Finch with it?

Wasn’t a recent train derailment due to something being put on the tracks? I heard a bit on the radio that day but haven’t since.

I live in rupert, apparently a young kid was Snapchatting about starting the fire right before it went up. He’s in custody now . Not sure if it’s related to protests but I’m leaning towards no. Could be wrong who knows. Wouldn’t put it past the protestors though

If the guy arrested is found guilty of arson then it's time for our passive all inclusive bleeding heart society to maybe do something really rash with this terrorist, or is it just an accident ???? seems really fishy

It's tall but that'd be a stretch. Yonge and Bloor maybe.

Any release of this suspects name as of yet?

Edit: Googledit myself and apparently the suspect is a youth so we’ll not be getting a name. This thanks to the stellar piece of legislation known as the young offenders act that puts someone old enough and mature enough to get a drivers license as somehow still not mature enough to be held responsible for their actions for another two years.

Just the other day the wife and I were watching the news and discussing the rate at which these trains are derailing. I said there is a nut job on the loose. Probably accurate. Not so sure it’s the opposition either, might be one of ours.

Way too many trains derailed lately to be coincidences.

X2 Yes there is. There should be very serious investigations on these derailments.

It's all part of the big plan to sabotage our economy ,but we will win these attacks .

Will we? Or will the guilty parties just get a slap in the wrist?
