Watch as he plays with, or rather disassembles, their creation.

'The Story So Far' Singer Kicks Girl Off the Stage as she's Taking a Selfie

Meanwhile in Toronto...

We've never heard of this band, The Story So Far (TSSF), before but what appears to be the lead singer, Parker Cannon, is seen here in this video kicking a fan (from behind), off the stage as she is taking a selfie. The band has since been banned from the Toronto venue...

Parker gently caresses girl off stage with his foot after overstaying her welcome... Seriously stop being so sensitive about this... it's a punk rock show.

KISS ME NOW, MEET ME LATER

Aaaawkwaard! We couldn't do this, lol.

This social experiment was done by Jordan Oram who invited eight strangers to his studio in Toronto, blindfolded them and let them have a little chitchat - before telling them of their role - to kiss the person they haven't seen yet, standing in front of them...

Storm Timelapse, Toronto, Aug 2 2015

Well, we don't believe we've seen too many exciting storm footages from Toronto so even though this vid may not be a big deal to many, it was a big deal to us, especially the way it was put together with the background music and all. Nice job!...

Made in Canada. So What's it like to drive a $700,000 Armoured Luxury Vehicle?

It's called the Conquest Knight XV and it's as badass as it gets for an armoured luxury vehicle. There are only 17 of its kind in the world, sold to the likes of those who can afford it - like Middle Eastern royalty - and a basketball star. 

It's twice as heavy as a Hummer, can stop a bullet from an AK-47 - and it's made by hand in Toronto, Canada. Even the windows that are 3.2 centimetres thick (enough to stop a bullet from an AK-47 of course), rolls down, which is apparently a rarity for bulletproof windows. 

So what is it like to drive in a Conquest Knight XV? Watch the video below to find out as CBC's Marivel Taruc takes the luxury Conquest Knight XV for a spin...

Peacock on the Lam in Toronto

Have you heard the one about the peacock that got away - twice? He's blue and green all over and loves escaping the High Park Zoo, because frankly, it's more exciting on the outside. 

The first time he escaped was on Wednesday, spending the night roosting in a residential tree before being coaxed back to the zoo Thursday. Then on Friday, the colourful, four-foot-tall, 13-pound, freedom-loving bird escaped again pouncing from roof-to-roof in the Roncesvalles neighbourhood like it was just another day at the park... uh zoo...

100 Guitars Falling Slowly

No, it's not a hundred guitars falling from the sky or anything like that but it was still just as awesome to watch. Organizers were expecting around 100 musicians but almost 1,000 guitar players, young and old alike and skill levels of varying degrees, got together in downtown Toronto on Thursday as part of a promotional event for the musical "Once" at the Ed Mirvish Theatre for the "100 Guitars Falling Slowly" event - and it was beautiful. Everyone was in sync!...

The participants were given the chords and lyrics to the song "Falling Slowly" prior to the event. The folk-rock tune is an Academy Award-winning song that is featured in the 2007 movie that was later adapted for the stage.

"Once" cast member Ian Lake said he was surprised by how good the song sounded when it was played by nearly 1,000 people at the same time. - toronto.ctvnews
