Are you sure that wasn't Rob Ford driving on crack?

That would be pretty scary, considering he's been dead for some time now ...

Given the area I thought Asian driver at first... than felt bad when I heard about the death toll

The perp was allegedly screaming he had a gun and waving something around - apparently his cell phone. Cops weren't fooled.

Have you seen the body?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

9 dead, 16 injured :(

Aside Malthus and HVC, we have Josephus in the area, but wasn't there someone else still there? 

And you guys are not too shaken?  I know it's a big city and there's no comparison I can make, but still, if it'd happenned here, I'd be shocked.

I'm guessing Josephus is busy reporting on this and won't come here until a few days.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Not particularly shaken. Sad for the folks killed and injured, of course, and their families and friends. Happy that the cops acted with conspicuous professionalism.

Then again, I work right downtown, in First Canadian Place; if terrorists ever strike hard, my building would be a good target ...  ;)

Too big a city to be shaken directly. Still sad for the people.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I was more effected by the bomb scare of Easter since that happened a few blocks away from me and somewhere I'm often at. Plus it really inconvenienced me lol

good.  it appears to be a lone wolf rather than a concerted attack of some kind.

Drivers name was Alek Minassian. Not sure what ethnicity the name is, but he looks slavic to me

Forgot the link. And he was a incel dude. So not terrorism, misogyny.

Surname is Armenian. And why couldn't misogyny lead to terrorism?

Italian police have intercepted a Bosnian driver trying to smuggle a small arsenal (2 pistols, 6 AK-47s, 2 SMGs, ammo) into Barcelona. Anti-terrorism alert has been activated. Wonder if we just avoided a tragedy.

Looks like our cop on the scene did a good job arresting this nutbar:
