The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I'm in bed sleeping and there's a sound like fifty china cabinets falling down all at once, walk out of my room to see what it was and it takes me a moment to see that there's been an explosion in Downsview park and the glass is bent out of the frame and there's shit like shrapnel or something all over my floor.
So I grabbed my cat and sat in the lobby, apparently the Bombardier plant is flat and it's all flames all around, all surrounding buildings are flat and its a sea of flames. Aftershocks continue to shake cars and cops are streaming past our building.
This sounds a lot less exciting than it actually was.
Have you ever been shocked and awed by explosions?
channel 24 says 2 dead at oil refinery on Wilson near Keele, fireball from the scene shot out and so on, not too much detail though, no footage yet, just writing it under their regular programming
they updated it to 2 hurt

I blame this on the mob.
If the mob is reading this, this post is in all good humor. I'll get you your money, I swear, just stop harassing my mother at work. Her boss is getting a bit annoyed.

what? where is this and are you sure its not a dream?
I like that the first thing you do is make poast about it
No, the first thing I did is grab my cat and run out to the lobby, I've been hanging in the lobby for an hour. I only made poast once cops were surrounding our building to prepare for possible evacuation.

Keele and Wilson right off the 401. The explosions happened... a five minute drive from us? I don't think we were ever in serious danger because of fast response but fuuuuuck. This was about an hour ag
Windows blown out, but not broken - just bent out of the frame. Our cat freaked out for a while but he's just a bit antsy now. Everyone is ok. Evacuation is unlikely for this area - though other parts of toronto may be.
Yeeah, at Bathurst and Sheppard here. Giant booms woke us up about an hour ago and we've been trying to get news ever since because they just kept happening and happening. 680 News Radio now reports that the Keele and Wilson neighbourhood is being evacuated and that the explosion was an "oil depot".
I hope any of y'all in the area are ok.

This Just In: The plant was bombed by the Franco Canadian Independence Movement (the FCIM), trying to win the freedom of Quebec from the totalitarian Anglo-Saxons. I'm telling you guys, this is an outbreak of war.

We are right at the intersection of Keele and Wilson. Like, right there.
This is crazy.
People have been flooding through the elevators to the lobby, everyone's talking, one woman came in and told us she drove over in the direction of the first explosion to see if it was a house or if anyone was hurt and the second explosion, a weaker one, fucking made the car jump off the ground.
FUCK.
