This happened last night close to historic Fort York. You’ll see a litany of folks talk about this like it’s some nefarious explosion, and we’re under attack.
We aren’t.
Some construction dorks left propane tanks unattended, and KABLOOEY!

Toronto is the wild west of commercial construction right now because Doug Ford and John Tory enrich their construction friends at warp speed, so sometimes corners get cut. It happens.
A friend lives in the area and said Toronto Fire told him there was no explosion. LOL.
There are no injuries, but it’s a luxurious area for millennials with designer mini poodles, so expect malice “you gave my Dog PTSD” lawsuits and a million conspiracy theories today.
It’s not a big deal. Terry was just lazy locking up the propane tank trailer.
