I never engage with any of these people on Twitter. I don't want to get dogpiled with hatred and venom. It's sad that they control the discourse in that way.

Does she take the TTC? I imagine Sheppard might be a mess. My friend was at the building right near Mel Lastman square and we managed to get out by car easier than we thought. He just kept going west away from Yonge.
Where are we seeing 9?
If you confirming post a damn source.
This still says at least 1

That cop was at least convicted - of attempted murder though and not murder, even though the kid died. He's up for appeal and I hope he loses, especially after breaching his bail.
You'd think with how common these acts of violence seem to be, people would have learned the difference in terminology by now.
Thanks for this. She's in her car, so hopefully she'll be able to get out alright.

Im listening to local radio speak on it now and they keep saying 9 dead. Im just reporting what I'm hearing on the radio.
They just said it again. Its 9.
Acting Police Chief? Did I miss Mark Saunders retiring or something?
CBC News paradmedic interview just now says multiple injured, multiple dead.
edit - no hard numbers

Saunders is coming from NY and speaking later when he comes back.
It doesn't appear that there is a standard when reporting, and casualty can refer to a death. They should be using more direct words such as injured, imo.
I made the mistake of doing that, waste of time. Those people are hopeless. It also takes away from the attention we should be giving to the victims and those who lost their lives. I love Toronto and this makes me so sad that something like this happened in my city.
Casualties does not mean deaths. Please don't post stuff without sources.
I know what casualties means. They said 9 Dead. Like 15 times.
Jesus christ people, just reporting what I heard.
I'd love to be wrong.
Im listening to this shit live on the radio right now and Toronto police just confirmed 9 people dead.

To be fair, it was obvious from the videos on the news streams that there was going to be fatalities. We just don't know how many.
You could provide the radio station so people could hear it for themselves. There's tons of conflicting information in this thread.

If you're interested in how bad prisons can get in Canada, read the above and listen to the below.

As a Canadian, I'm more concerned that criminals are segregated from society for the duration of their sentence than fantasizing over their punishment, and I would hope that they could be given treatment, education, and undergo rehabilitation in prison rather than be abused and radicalised and released back into my neighbourhood.
What a gruesome event :( I feel especially contemptuous of these van attacks because it's such a dirtbag way of killing people. I don't think your deity will be that impressed...
It actually does mean deaths. It unfortunately also means injured. Thus the confusion
I think people just assume, after they hear about how "nice" prisons are in Norway, Finland and Netherlands, out of the false belief of what Canada is like. Canada has never actually truly embraced restorative justice (though the criminal sentencing structure is reasonable, I'd say) , and has never had nice prisons. I mean, it's better than the American counterparts but that's a low bar to set.
Yes, it does. But it doesn't exclusively mean deaths. Either way, people need to stop posting unsourced stuff.
The issue is most news organizations use casualty to refer to deaths. Injured is the other classification. Could be different in Canada, I'm not sure.
This is an 'interesting' way of saying something without actually saying what you mean.
Honestly feeling so helpless sitting millions of miles away. Feel like ordering dozens of pizzas for all the doctors and nurses working hard to heal the injured.
I know John Tory may not be the most popular mayor around, but I'm glad it's him dealing with this instead of Doug Ford.
