February 24, 201511 yr Personally I find this to be very disconcerting, especially in light of what has happened recently in Canada and threats leveled against them by Islamic terrorists. Mysterious tunnel found near Canada sports venue Montreal (AFP) - A sophisticated tunnel has been discovered near a major sporting venue and a university in Toronto, reports said Monday, with Canada on edge over the threat of possible extremist attacks. A municipal worker was walking through woods near York University and the Rexall Center last month when he spotted a piece of corrugated metal on the ground, lifted it up and found a passageway, the public broadcaster CBC said. The tunnel was about seven meters (23 feet) long and 2.5 meters tall and was lit by an electric generator. The walls and ceilings had been reinforced and tools had been left inside. Toronto is hosting the Pan American Games in July and the Rexall Center is one of the venues. The facility also hosts major tennis events. National security officials have been alerted but there was no immediate suggestion the tunnel posed a threat, CBC said. Authorities have now filled it in but police were tight-lipped about what its purpose might have been. CBC said authorities had ruled out the possibility of it being a drug lab. Canadian authorities are on alert following two Islamist-influenced attacks last year that resulted in the deaths of two unarmed soldiers in Ottawa and Montreal. And in a recent video the Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab insurgent group threatened Canada's massive West Edmonton Mall, along with a mall in the United States and a major shopping district in Britain.
February 24, 201511 yr Scary! I wonder if they would have been better off keeping it under surveillance to find out who was responsible?
February 24, 201511 yr Author Scary! I wonder if they would have been better off keeping it under surveillance to find out who was responsible? Kind of my thought as well.
February 24, 201511 yr Scary! I wonder if they would have been better off keeping it under surveillance to find out who was responsible? I was thinking the same thing. They could have caught the culprits in action and erased all doubts of who was responsible.
February 24, 201511 yr Not much of a tunnel. 23 feet long out in the woods? Heck of a start though. Just sayin.
February 24, 201511 yr Just set one of these suckers and once the trap is tripped, go in and check folks' wallets.
February 25, 201511 yr Not much of a tunnel. 23 feet long out in the woods? They must have gave up, they should have called Hogan's Heroes, NOW there are some amazing tunnels! I just don't get how Klink and his men didn't even notice the TV cameras, so I guess then they wouldn't have found any tunnels. But I agree with some others, if you find something like this, you put the area under surveillance. If you really think that it may be a terrorist plot, then you just may be able to knock down a group and put them out of commission for good.

They could have caught the culprits in action and erased all doubts of who was responsible. They might have, the article says it was found last month.
