My old High School is just north of where this incident has happened. Yonge and Finch is a major hub where the busiest subway line ends and connects to a major bus terminal so you can connect to buses to the suburbs. Toronto has just come out of a much colder then normal winter and the most recent snow storm was just last week, so this day was the first day of spring sunshine that was finally melting all the snow away. A day like that has a lot of meaning as after months of winter the feel of the sun is extremely positive and many people go outside to enjoy it. Toronto is always a very positive vibe on the first sunshine in the spring and the people deserve it. 

The streets would have been exceptionally busy at a time when people are just trying to catch some good weather, it is devastating to see this news in an area I know so well and many people have been killed. My thoughts and prayers are with my family and friends back home, the victims and the people of Toronto

It is sad and tragic these things happen.  I too pass on my thoughts and prayers for the families and friends of those who were killed or injured by this senseless attack.  Justice will be served.
