Are they sure the gunfire came from outside?

I live very close by and fucking hate this consulate. Most mornings dozens and sometimes hundreds of visa applicants hover around it, mostly on Simcoe Street, and consulate staff instruct visitors not to stand on the public sidewalk on the consulate's side of the street (they have no authority to prevent anyone from doing so).

Hope you use e2ee. They're definitely listening to all of your radio transmissions

Jewish and Iranian places in Toronto got shot at and I guess someone thought "might as well include the Americans".

Jewish != Zionist

Did it seem like that was being implied?

In a post on X, Toronto police said officers responded to reports that someone had shot at the building, located near Queen Street W. and University Avenue, around 5:30 a.m. When officers arrived on the scene, police said, they found evidence that a firearm had been discharged.

No one was reported injured, police said.

Toronto police are not nazi’s, as far as I know, they should really get off of the Nazi app.

I guess we are very sensitive to attacks on our sports journalists, Ambassador.

Shooting at a building because you're big mad at the news is stupid.

A nice Canadian just wanted the Americans feel like they were back in school.
