How is that even possible? It does NOT make any sense.
Next time they get me speeding, I'm going to tell them exactly that, there was no criminal intent in my actions, so there's no sense in wasting the courts' time.... a Det. Whittemore told me so...
This is land that they did not own. Is it OK to do this digging anywhere they want, now?
Pretty safe bet that there's a link to a politian, or a rich and influential family. Not even releasing names, eh?
I'm going with the "poor student" angle and they don't want to embarrass them.
Could be, but that would be an easy explanation for the police to give, without naming names.

WTF..
In an interview with the Toronto Sun published Thursday morning, Elton McDonald, a 22-year-old construction worker, said the project was never meant to be a tunnel at all. “I was going to expand it to have a couple of rooms,” Mr. McDonald said. “I was hoping to put in a TV. I did some barbecuing there. It was more a place to hang out.”

Wow.... that's crazy, but believable... 8 year old kid trapped in a 22 year old's body who happens to have construction experience.
That interview covers pretty much all the bases. Did The Sun crib their interview questions from this thread?
Not quite.
What about the owner of the land, they don't mind? If it's legal, why are the cops filling it in again? Who's paying to have it filled in? What's to stop anyone from digging tunnels anywhere now?

agreed, who foots the bill for this guys "whim" who paid for all that wood he set up? Doesn't exactly look like it was all just scrap so who paid for it or was it also just borrowed from his employer?
No repercussion should mean we get a new subculture of tunnel people
Funny thing: If I had unlimited money to build my dream home it would be covered on three sides and the roof with dirt, with a solarium facing south. I've had that stuck in my head for maybe 30 years now.
Funny, I saw something like that in the back country (probably between Orangeville and Creemore) that, inexplicably, was facing north. Maybe a funding situation, don't know. I think most red blooded males fantasize about alternative housing. One word: treefort.
Can't disagree with that. In this case it has the added benefit of being very heat efficient.
