Re: Underground Bunker Found
Neither did I.
So any old buddy can go steal materials for a private tunnel and not even get charged with theft?
What does that say to the multi-billion dollar construction industry?

Re: Underground Bunker Found
They find at least one of those tunnels every year up here in my neck of the woods, they usually have a C-can in them tho, they're called underground grow-ops.

But I get it, not every crack addict, break in artist, or trespasser has all their fries for a Happy Meal.
So I ask who are these privileged coddled people whom can build a huge tunnel, in secret, on public property, not be named and not be charged with SOMETHING.
I suspect there is a lot more to the story than we know.
Queen...police occasionally have to chase people down other then with cars or computers. That's is why they occasionally jump fences.
You obviously did not understand what the police stated in the video Treeguy posted. NO INTENT being key.,

Re: Underground Bunker Found
Not really the same thing. This tunnel was built on public property where anyone could have found it. Someone could have fallen in the hole, had it collapse while investigating the inside.
I agree with Queen K, they should pay for the wasted resources. What about the destruction of a woodland area. They should pay for the rehab of the area.[/quote] so if we go with this logic all the mountain bikers that build trails and platforms in the trees and obstacles that are all accessible by the public should be charged and forced to pay for the rehab

Yes they should. Give us some reasons why they shouldn't.
Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have of changing others.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

Re: Underground Bunker Found
I have no reasons because I don't agree with that either I was just pointing out if your going to charge one you need to have a level playing field

Did you watch the video what the police stated. Queen doesn't make the law and you both have missed something.

Re: Underground Bunker Found
I saw today that the tunnel builders will be fined $500, a pittance for what their caper all cost, but to me it validates my previous posts that they should have to pay SOMETHING towards the cost.
Sorry if you don't agree Ken7.

I have no problem with them paying to have it covered. But when you suggested CRIMINAL you are missing the boat.
That was my point, don't get me wrong but you are not the only one who comments about fact of law and has no idea on the requirements to process a criminal code charge.
That's my point!

Re: Underground Bunker Found
Just recently it was disclosed, this was actually the Toronto Maple Leafs fan club hall. Lack of fans and funding have stopped the project.

Re: Underground Bunker Found
The incredible true story behind the Toronto mystery tunnel. Why Elton McDonald built the Toronto tunnel that captivated the world.
The digger Elton McDonald grew up on what’s probably the toughest street in Toronto—maybe even Canada—and he still lives there with his mother and two sisters. Three summers ago, a man got shot in the head behind their townhouse. Elton’s sister Anora Graham went to the man’s aid, pressing a shirt she’d run to fetch against the wound. He died two weeks later. Lots of others here have, too. “Elton went to school with kids who are not alive anymore,” says Anora. “They died when they were 16.”
The townhouse, in a public housing development in the city’s far northwest called Driftwood Court, is small: a kitchen and living room on the ground floor, three bedrooms on the second. Every now and then, Elton and his sisters start watching the same movie on the TVs in their three separate rooms—as they did not long ago, with Life of Pi —keeping their doors open to chat across the hall during commercials. Sometimes they call their mother, Tracy Graham, who sleeps in the basement, to see if she’s watching, too.
Elton is quiet. “I spend a lot of time thinking,” he says. “I don’t talk a lot, but my mind is working overtime.” The tunnel that Elton built, a 10-minute walk from home in the ravine below Driftwood Court, was his portal into a world of quiet. He’d slip out his front door, down through the trees, and skip between the rocks across the creek—sometimes, if it was too swollen with rain, he’d lay a ladder across it, like a bridge—then climb to the spot where he dug the hole. “I was getting away from regular things, away from life,” he says. “Nothing in particular. Just life itself.”

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Now he is stating a company to employ youth in his neighbourhood. It is so touching to see someone reach out as he has done.
