It was an old church. There was no sprinkler system, the wiring was old, there was much exposed tinder dry wood involving the structure and furnishings, and the building was unoccupied by security guards. The church may have have been set ablaze intentionally but in Toronto, it’s much more likely an old church catches fire by accident. Why not investigate what the record actually is concerning church fires in Toronto, and not rely on your perception of church fires.
This particular church was an LGBTQ+ ally and they were very active in the community as far as supporting many social justice groups. It was a very progressive congregation.

This makes me sad that Canadian history and art history is destroyed. The group of seven pieces are irreplaceable. It would not surprise me if it was started by the greedy developer who will soon bid on this property.
Why isn't this called hate crime and actually government get off its ass and get an anti terrorism team setup to solve this and arrest the perpetrators
when I was younger, a church I attended had a fire, and I remember how devastated our congregation was. Worse yet, historical art that cannot be replaced. Can't believe any one would do this. My thoughts and prayers to those who called this church home as well as the art community.
Have we really lost over a hundred churches this year. In this day and age that is a hate crime and/or corporate corruption. Some Property developers highercthe stoners to bring fown a neighbourhood.
Indian (india) fire chief, and Pride flag on the fire truck. Bet they tried real hard to protect a Christian and Canadian heritage building....*hard eye roll*
It will be uncovered of who did this and how. The question is whether the truth will be altered or censured or not. You would have to be an imbecile not to know that by now.

Hate crime? Hundreds of Churches in Canada the past few years have been burned but we only pay real attention if they contain paintings it seems
Unfortunately it only seems to be a hate crime if its non-Christian
Yup, but if it was a church for a different region, all you hear is hate crime
I wonder if paintings were adequately insured?
they were probably LBGTQ art work 😂
They cont care is Jewish and Christian buildings are attack
No such thing as a coincidence.
I'm sure the developers are lining up to rescue yet another heritage building that mysteriously catches fire in a key location🤐

How many churches have we lost this year?????
Over a hundred now

More Canadian history being removed..AGAIN..
INTERESTING.. HMMMM..

Yep. Pride is a cardinal sin!
Ironically part of this history you speak of removed its original history …….
This particular church was an LGBTQ+ ally and they were very active in the community as far as supporting many social justice groups. It was a very progressive congregation.
Oh no! St Anne's is a beautiful church in the Beaux Arts style and included paintings by members of the Group of Seven (as the report mentions).
This is horrible! 😢 All that beautiful artwork and architecture lost forever.
Don’t worry authorities have concluded this ain’t a hate crime.
Funny how Churches of all buildings still burn down.
And all because of alleged mass grave findings that were proven false.

Most of the church arsons around the country aren't because of developers wanting the land, it's because of the Aboriginals.

Weird? It's almost like someone is trying get rid of Canada's history and rewrite the books. Tho this has been going on for years
I wonder what could be causing the burning of about 70 churches across Canada in the last few years.
Maybe the age of the building 1908 wasn't yesterday or a couple of years ago. Church attendance has also gone down; especially Christian Church.
This is weird that in the West our churches are being burnt. But other foreign places of worship keep being built. I guess it is not strange at all
