Vancouver Crash: Several Dead After Car Drives Into Crowd

by Toby Young
27 April 2025 1:00 PM

Several people are dead and “multiple others” are injured after a car drove into a crowd at a Filipino street party in Vancouver, Canada, police have said. The Sunday Times has more.

A man drove into a large crowd of people attending the Lapu Lapu Day festival near East 43rd Avenue and Fraser Street at about 8.14pm local time (4.14am BST) on Saturday, the force said.

The suspected driver, a 30 year-old Vancouver man, was initially taken into custody by people at the scene before being arrested. Police said he was a “lone suspect” known to them.

The incident was described as a mass casualty incident, and the major crime unit is investigating, but police later said they were “confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism”.

Lapu Lapu Day celebrations had officially ended at 8pm on an adjacent street. The province of British Columbia has recognised April 27th as Lapu Lapu Day, a day to honour a 16th-century indigenous leader of the Philippines and celebrate the Filipino community, since 2023.

The exact number of dead and injured was unclear, but witnesses described seeing “bodies everywhere”.

Yoseb Vardeh, co-owner of a food truck called Bao Buns, told Postmedia: “I got outside my food truck, I looked down the road and there’s just bodies everywhere. He went through the whole block, he went straight down the middle.”

Jen Idaba-Castaneto, a security guard for the festival, told the local news site Vancouver Is Awesome: “You don’t know who to help, here or there. It’s so shocking.”

Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party, was among the attendees at the event, but left minutes before the vehicle arrived.

“This is so horrific, I don’t even know what to say,” Singh told CTV. “I was just there, and I just imagine the faces of the kids that I saw smiling and dancing.”

One witness told CTV he had seen a black vehicle driving erratically in the area just before the crowd was hit.

Worth reading in full.

There seem to be more people killed by “definitely not terrorists” than by terrorists these days

Good lord! Who could possibly have expected that?

After all the police carefully avoided giving any clues and we know what that means, it must have been some blond haired guy whose ancestors came from wessex.

Why does the province of British Columbia celebrate tribal chieftains of the Philippines from about 400 years ago? That seems about as unrelated to Canada as it can possibly get, considering that the Philippines were a Spanish colony and then became a US colony and then, somewhat dubiously independent¹.

¹ COVID gymnastics by the government of the Philippines strongly suggested, say, a certain US influence.

Good question! It’s about as unrelated to Canada as the former French African Colonies of Gabon & Togo who were welcomed as New Members of the British Commonwealth in 2022, even though they all speak French and have nothing to do with Great Britain at all, but only joined to get Free Stuff from British Taxpayers endlessly handing out cash to be trousered by the Parasitic Commonwealth (with the honourable exception of our Aussie, Kiwi and Canuck cousins).

Nobody voted for that.

JFTR: Togo was a German colony which got ‘appropriated’ after the first world war¹.

¹ To this day, there are what’s euphemistically called “German-speaking districts of Belgium”, ie, the formely German country boroughs of Eupen and Malmedy the kingdom of Belgium got as rewards for its ‘neutrality’ during this war.

Police, “Confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism.” So reassuring,

I reckon that since the victims were from the Third World, it will turn out to be a “Dreaded White Far-Right Terrorist” psy-op.

I was wrong. Some say he may be Chinese, who did this on the same day that Chinese troops planted a Chinese flag on a small island of the Philippines! Coincidence? Third World countries bringing their battles to Canada.

This is he, allegedly. Filipino. Just a random post without a source, though, so yet to be confirmed. Either way, just another man demonstrating how logical he is and not at all driven by emotion…😐. Latest reports say this man has killed 9 people so far;

Filipinos are Catholic. I very much doubt that the murderer is. But definitely not terrorism ….oh dearie me no. It’ll be a lone wolf with mental health problems.

Then if it isn’t terrorism of the stabby people variety then the second option is mind altering drugs legal or illegal.
