I know there are a few people who post here resident in Toronto. Hope they haven't been affected in any way by this.

A man died in an explosion at a Tim Hortons outlet in downtown Toronto on Sunday, police say.
Later in the afternoon, a police robot was used to remove a parcel from the store, which is on Yonge Street just north of the intersection with Bloor Street. Explosives experts then detonated the package.
Emergency officials walk outside a Tim Hortons on Yonge Street in Toronto on Sunday.
The initial blast took place just after 1 p.m. EDT.
Police said the victim was not a Tim Hortons employee.
Toronto Police Service Insp. Nick Memme said the explosion occurred "in the washroom area" at the back of the shop.
Police have not confirmed reports the man was seen entering the washroom with wires or possibly explosives strapped to his body.

| I'm sure they are. According to the article in the CBC there was only a little smoke, minimal damage to the building and no one else was even injured. |

It sounds like a terrorist attempt gone bad (for the terrorist). |

Ya, but there is another Timmies in Toronto at the moment with a suspicious package that has been evacuated (that may have changed by now). |

| Somewhere in Toronto this morning there is a teacher saying, "Young man, what do you mean 'the Police blew up my homework'?" |

And of course, you can't have a big explosion without the conspiracy theorists throwin' in their two cents!
The guys on this right-wing Canadian forum think that it was an Islamicist terrorist attack, but that the Toronto police are covering it up. Some samples...

it appears that the toronto government has turned into the KGB and secret police
this is clearly untrue and the vast variations in the stories are not easily explainable
the only sensible explanation is that this was a terrorist attack |

This is absurd.
How come no one's mentioned this guy's race? Or, by now, his name? (because his body was burned beyond recognition and will be idnetified by dental records-otoh)
"A flash fire."
This is really stupid.
