More information has been revealed on the motive, hockeyfeed.com said the following:
Meanwhile, York Regional Police have reported that the mass murderer's motivation for the killings seem to be tied to a disagreement with the building's condo board. CBC reports that the killer has a long history of disputes with the condo board and that at least two condominium managers have quit due to his abuse. CBC also reports that the condo board was seeking to have him evicted for creating a nuisance. In particular they were seeking to have a judge find him in contempt for violating a previous order to not contact the board, to stop threatening its members and building staff and to cease posting about them on social media.
