Had to be arson:
Ward 27 Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam: | quote: | | Wong-Tam said she knew that the building’s gas and electricity had been shut off prior to this morning’s fire. |

How does a building with no gas, no electricity and no tenants burn down? |

I know.. its just so far :(
The gould salad king/linda was the perfect 'just around the corner' place for a quick bit of yummy non expensive food
I guess Ryerson is really happy to hear this. Im sure they will buy the property the second it becomes available. |

With historic buildings they have to use like, kind and quality building materials to the original so it makes it very expensive. |
They even have to use the same techniques... so if the building was built before powertools then $$$$. |

| This is terrible! I used to hit up Salad King everytime I was in Toronto. Hopefully it will re-open elsewhere. |

unlikely, but it could also be squatters. |

If by squatters, you mean thugs who were hired to burn down the place, then yes it could be squatters. |

I highly doubt it to be an insurance scam. |
ahem ;)
Toronto police have confirmed that the investigation into the six-alarm fire at a vacant heritage building downtown earlier this week is now a criminal matter. Police told CBC News on Wednesday that they are working alongside arson investigators from Toronto Fire Services and the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office. |

Chemy was getting at that the motivation for the arson (allegedly) is likely due to the heritage designation rather then proceeds from an insurance claim. |

Lets see how this will work out. hmmmmm....
investigators will say that the results of forensics is inconclusive. The structure will be torn down. A souless new structure with increased capacity and higher rents will take its place. People will forget about it. Rinse and Repeat. |
