But anyways, thats besides the point i'm trying to make. Theres an old masonic temple at young and and pretty sure bloor. Thats like the core of toronto. Interesting that its right in the middle.

The old masonic building at that intersection is now an MTV, MTV being an american company, and a main source of music and youth propaghanda. I never made this connection, but I find this very interesting, especially since its not even in the states.

The building before it was actually MTV, my buddy said it was city tv I think.

Thats also interesting, i havent put much thought into city tv but its one of the like 2 free channels everyone gets even without cable in the GTA.

So both City TV and MTV had to have bought this building from the masons at one point or another, is there a connection?

I see lots of flyers for shows on the internet where bands play at places called "the massonic temple", just furtheres the idea of masonry in the entertainment industry.

I dont want to say next what I heard from a freind, but it has to do with alot of human bones. Anything I learn about masonry in toronto I willl share but not if its from a freind.

And I still think there is a connection with MTV. Whether its canadian or not. There clearly are canadian masons, what hand they have in the entertainment/music industry to me is uncertain.

If so, that's the Weston Temple at 2040 Weston Road which is north of Lawrence, not south.

Is it a coincidence that the Royal York is the same height as the Great Pyramid at Giza? Legend has it that the hotel's design was changed - original plans show a flat roof - at the behest of influential local Masons to give it its distinctive triangle shape, the pyramid being a major Masonic symbol. And what are we to make of the goat heads looking down from their stony perches? The goat, long a symbol of man's striving to reach God through the building of temples, is also a near-anagram for the Grand Architect of the Universe (GAOTU) worshiped by Masons. Ooh, scary.
William Jarvis, former secretary of state of Upper Canada, is remembered in stained glass in St. James' Cathedral with the iconic square and compass of the Masons. The pentagram denotes his position of Grand Master of Ancient Masons.

He was a member of the Ontario Lodge and there's speculation that the reason he was able to go on killing for so long is that Chief McCormick at the time was a brother of the same lodge, as well as other Toronto Police officers.
