~who said there no such thing as Santa Claus?~

fantastic series, really.

Wow, you've got really lovely work here. This guy is amazing! I'll be back for sure : )

Zanta looks like he can kick some serious azz. Nice shot. Reminds me a little of your wicked-cool Angelo Tony Luongo character.

now there's a photo diverting from the prevailing big-belly image of santa... like it. dof, muted colors, ... the lot.

I saw you in toronto.=)
You gave me ur autograph.

I saw you in toronto.=)
You gave me ur autograph.

Good snapshot, terrible subject matter. I have seen this goof in Downtown Toronto. IMHO: he has serious mental problems. Also, "Zanta" means "Pretty Girl" and is the name for a female. Hmmm.

He does this for a living. He gets attention on city t.v and breakfast television and then advertises his website, which includes pop-up ads for many different companies, who pay him for space. It's all an act, he's really not crazy at all, in fact i had a very civilized conversation with him where he explained the whole thing.

whats his website

As someone who works in the mental health system, I can only hope that people are laughing with him and not at him. Laura, why do you presume that he is "acting". You can in fact have a "civilized" conversation with someone with a major mental illness. I can assure you he is not acting.

I saw Zanta today and I can't decide whether he has mental problems or is just extremely hyper. He came across intelligent and well spoken. Hope to see him jump in front of Liza this time :).

zanta's a punk. cmon. get a life. how many stupid things can people do for attention? sheesh.

zanta's a punk. cmon. get a life. how many stupid things can people do for attention? sheesh.

I saw him yesterday ! he was with me in the bus. He was talking about something ( I didn't understand him- I don't speak english well ) haha !! So he said something about his website .. Anbody knows link ?? :D

Not a bad guy at all, met him on the bus, talked for about 1 hour... told me he was in a accident hurt his back, lost his daughter in a court case with his wife, he first put on the hat to go see his daughter at court, and he's been doing it ever since , he said he came up with the idea bout 6 months ago to create Zanta ... he does events where he does 5000 push ups, its crazy he's built like a horse, consider, at one time he was in a full body cast....pretty serious guy..i do think he has some issues, but then again dont we all!!

We saw him tonight on the subway. Apparently he's a lesbian. And he came out to his mother a week ago. Go ZANTA!

That's funny,I was there too for the lesbian conversation. If this is the same folks, hello julia and michelle.

Aye, I googled him out of curiosity.

If Zanta's a lesbian, all the power to him.

YOOOOO its the kidz from the pizza store on weston. yo ur peer jkz....ur a funny guy that says he is a lesbian...(hey big boys)lol...remember???????

I am from Green Bay, WI. My girlfriend and I were taking a vacation (seeing Toronto and Niagra Falls). We wanted to see Toronto and decided to take a chance using the public transportation. We were in Toronto for about an hour when we saw this guy on the subway. He scared the crap out of me!!! He was just talking to the air. He was talking about how he was "Toronto Zanta" and "I have a website". I thougt we might have made a BIG mistake taking the Toronto subway. Somebody else jumped (or was pushed) into the subway while we where there and had a "personal injury". We did meet a nice lady that helped us out. What a crazy world. I LOVE THE TORONTO SUBWAY!!!! I LOVE CANDADA!!!! What is Toronto Zanta's website???????

Yo Zanta is the man. I have photos of him too, and he is awesome. I got his number and I'm going to promote him man. He's the man.

Wow! i just met Zanta a few hours ago at The station, boy! i was walking up the stairs and i see this guy doing the wierdest dance/jig thing and making these two younger girls laugh their butts off. i was like "stay back he s insane or on much speed and coke" But i thought it was funny and started laughing, asked someone else wat was going on and she told me he signed her arm (she had a cast) and that, "he's all over the map! :D". Next- i got into the whole craZy Zanta thing and laughed with everyone else! He told me i was his princess and jumped on the subway and did many push ups for "his princess"... awsome way to impress anyone! seriously! i would love to get into more detail about the whole situation as would everyone else but you just gotta meet him!!! He should become famous he will be famous... And if he is insane its so-oh-oh-oh working for him! Lol... Yes, he does say his website extremley fast, did anyone catch it? (p.s i got his number... but not for that.)

oh man hahaha zanta is soo funny. i swear every time i go downtown i always see the same half naked, tanned dude wearing a santa clause hat....who is he , he is zanta yes yes yes att att att.....every girl he see's is his princess and he says his number is ZANTA-01 wut a joke eh...lol anyways i will be looking foward to seeing some weirdo doing push ups in the middle of yonge street and someone sticking their a$$ in the cops faces saying "MERRY CHRISTMAN BIG BOYS ATT ATT YES YES YES" lol man that guy is great soo funny...need a laugh look out for mr.

xoxox atta atta atta

Zanta does push-ups in the middle of Eglinton. He seems to be an educated man, however, this kind of acting has caused many eyebrow raises in the neighbourhood. From what I have heard he is bipolar. All in all, I hope everyone is laughing with him, not at him.

Zanta is a crazy nut i know him personally if anyone wants info on him ask and I will tell!!!

HOOOOOLY!
I've just read ur comments!
This dude is retarded!
He fell down from the 8th floor while working on construction. Then all the problems started. His wife ran away from him, and took his kid with her. At that point of time all the santa thing started. If you dont belieave me write me at gobkins@hotmail.com ill give u his address.
P.S. He is doing exersises every day, even when it is -25 outside. This is the thing i cannot explain...

DUDES!
This freak lives in my builbing!! %)
Right under my appartment, but 10 floors under...
I can give u address.

Had to add to the zanta story. So we met this guyon queen st. and i'm pissing my pants laughing at all the other stories. So here's the zanta bio we got. Apparently Zanta was in a coma for seven years and when he woke up he weight like 400 pounds or something until he started doing push ups. THis is allcoming from him. "If you wanna be famous, grab some antlers and follow me"!. hahahaha ARRRRRRR ARRRRRRRRRR YESSSSSSSSSS! He said he was the anti-santa (hence the z is supposed to be a backwards s) and that he was heading to the south pole, not hte north. Fastest talker in hte world.

HEY DID ANYONE SEE ZANTA GETTING ARRESTED LASTNIGHT? I DID IT WAS HILLARIOUS HE WAS INFRONT OF SOME WEIGHT LIFTING PLACE WHERE HE SAID HE WAS BANNED FROM ALREADY!!! I HOPE HES ENJOYING THE BIG HOUSE HAPPY CARABANA

Zanta tried to "recruite" me for his "Zanta Ville". LOL. I see him absalutly everywhere, its hilarious, I always have to try to stop and talk. I must admit though that being apart of his "ville" creeps me out. LOL!

I met Zanta over the 1st of July, seems like a regular guy promoting himself. To you who call him a mental patient, I say this, aren't we all promoting ourselves in some way, and, who cares if he is a mental patient? Know any who can support themselves? David Russell Sarasota Florida, USA

Why do you people indulge this idiot? I am a friend of his wife. His wife left him because he emotionally and verbally abused her. If all of you out there think he is so "cool" why don't you come forward and offer to be his roommate or better yet date your sister? His wife tried to the best of her ability to help him and to take his medications, get him to appointments on time, etc. She finally gave up and had to leave for the sake of her own sanity and for the sake of her 3 year-old daughhter. There is a lot about this person you don't know about. Have you seen him in a bad mood...well I have and he is not the personable funny guy you have all borne witness to. He will often walk around swinging a baseball bat at anyone who comes in his path. Grown up and stop idolizing this man, who, by the way, was never in a coma. He exercises like a maniac because he is manic.

I saw him on the bus on the way to the Warped Tour last week... hahaha crazy guy keep it up i hope you get your kid back

who is Zanta? Ive seen him a couple times on the weston rd. bus doing push-ups and sit-ups in the middle of the bus. That kinda freaked me out, but then again it was funny as hell. I have to admit he is real fit, however, he is also real crazy.

hello anne, im a fiend of dave's, and from what i hear his wife was always doped up on pills and couldn't even take care of her daughter. so i don't know why you even had to come on here and say this shit. his wife was cheating on him with her uncle, right after his wife died. then they stole dave's baby which he has raised pretty much all by himself, and dissappeared without even taking any of (name deleted for confidentiality - matt)'s belongings. His daughter is his life, he can't stop talking about her to everybody! and i have never seen him in a bad mood like you say, never showed any agression...when someone makes him mad he smiles and tells them merry christam and he's on his way. And you say he wasn't in a coma? are you crazy lady? he's retired on workers comp from falling from a buiding. Zanta is a cool good guy, which is dealing with some rough family issues. and people ((name deleted for confidentiality - matt)) that don't know what they're talking about should just shut up.

Dear frend of Davss. With all do respect, his wife holds a high position at (deleted for confidentiality - matt). I find it hard to believe that a person holding that responsible position could be "doped" up on pills. It is in fact Dave who had to go out every night on his bike to buy dope...using his wife's money. His child was not "stolen". She was removed from a situaton not conducive to the safety of a child. I have no doubt that his daughter is his live. Unfortunately, he is not in a pooition to care for her at this time. I am glad you have not seen Dave in a bad mood. I live in the next building to him, and I have seen him be very manacing. You are entitled to your opinion of this person, but again I ask the question of you or anyone on who has posted...would you leave your child with this gentlman?? I will not debate the issues of infedelity, but I will state that I have seen Dave leer at women on the TTC woho are in fact young enough to be his daughter and this was while he was still with his wife. Why are you so angry that I am not enthralled wit this guy.

so called friend of (name deleted for confidentiality - matt).your fucked.she abducted my daughter (name deleted for confidentiality - matt).l was (name deleted for confidentiality - matt)s primary care giver. l watched (name deleted for confidentiality - matt) 7 days a week for 1 year since she went back to work.l will be having a police protest at yonge and college police head quarters this monday next week,if your in the area between 7am and 9:30pm please come by and grab a sign to help me get my daughter back.surprise braindead friend of (name deleted for confidentiality - matt) addictions are not selective on who gets addected.theres judges that drinks and are drunk on the bench. merry christmas bitch, l love all my fans.and yes l will be worldly famous.my website will be done soon .lm looking for some helpers.lf interested email me with you picture at zantahohoho @yahoo.ca yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss peace

Hey Zanta. Remember me? I had to come get your dog because you were incapable of taking care of it. Your place is a mess. You are a mess. Not a good situation for a kid.

Dave,

I do not doubt, nor have I ever doubted that (name deleted for confidentiality - matt)is very important to you, however, and I invite others on this site to comment, do you think you are capable of being the sole caregiver of (name deleted for confidentiality - matt) when you block traffic at Eglinton and Scarlet Road wearing a skirt and a bra declaring to passersby tht you are a lesbian and wearing no shirt in -30 temperatures. I am not trying to be mean, but Amy was not abducted. If that was the case, she would be returned to you. I am not fucked up, just a mother who would not want you to be a caretiver to my child. Dave you have decompensated since (name deleted for confidentiality - matt) left and for that I am truly sorry, but get it together and spend more time trying to be a father instead of expending all your energies on being "Zanto". This will not hlep your case or your credibility, I wish you no malice, but I do not think your "protest" will get your anwyhwere but possibly arrested.

Firstly, I would like to begin by saying that I cannot believe that I am actually partaking in this rediculousness. I have lived in toronto my whole life and have seen many a persons on the street with mental illness and showing symptoms of mania and psychosis, however "Zanta" or who I have now learned is Dave, has seemed to display himself as being far more manic and psychotic, and remaining consistant in his behaviours than any other nut job in Toronto that I have seen thus far. Hence, my curiosity.
Anne, I must concure with you, I could not have said it better myself. For all those people who are supporting and soliciting this person is aiding in this ongoing idiocy and giving him attention that is detramental to his well being and the peace of Toronto streets. What you need Dave is some attention and help in getting your life on track. Tax payers dollars do not pay for social programs and social assistance so people who need it the most rave in the streets and harp about their woes. Do something about it. No matter the nitty gritty details of the break up and custody battle, there is something that can be done and people who can help you. The Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)is a good place to start with helping you concerning your obvious mood disorder and manic episodes. It is a wonderful center that can lead you on a path to a better life and help you in the apparent situation between your former partner and your child. Best of luck to you, and as Anne said, raving in the streets making wild claims in costume does not support your case. Be productive and make something of it if it is that important to you.
-Downtowner

there are 3 former partners and four children involved.

its funny how people cant tell the defference between a nutcase and a genious its all a caracter l was topless the winter doing pushups all over because l was on the 102.1 the edge (the had a freek show)that l wanted to win.so i lost my cloths so l could get more votes , for all of you who think lm fucked come down to dundas square at young and watch my show lm there every day.my place is exstreamly clean,l have a cleaner once a week come to clean my place.l have no meantal illnesses you stupid dumb fucked,lm a major celeberty in toronto,so far lve been in 6 news papers ,on breakfast televison for 4 months and much on demand for 4 months and a regular on speakers corner 6 times.what a wild caracter lam l have you convinced that lm nuts,in actual fact you are fucked. yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss

lmao this guy is a fcken joker yess!! argh!! lmao he is a nice guy i see him on the bus every single nite he cracks me up !! lmao

hey zanta or should i say "Dave", lets face it, your daughter wasn't abducted from her mother, she was taken away from you and your crazy, sorry, perverted ass. it's a good thing you can't find them anywhere, i hope you never do, LEAVE THEM ALONE, in fact, LEAVE EVERYONE ALONE, WILL YA! your making an ass out of ourself& your family. here's some advise ZANTA, GET A JOB, with all the energy & time you waste everday of your waking moment, you could actually be making something of yourself if you really CARED about your daughter, you would have a full time job. & PLEASE LEAVE THE POLICE OUT OF THIS, I CAN'T IMAGIME MY TAX DOLLARS PAYING FOR YOUR DAY IN COURT!!!! GET A LIFE ZANTA, OOPS, DAVE....
P.S dave come on now, stay away from the eldery & children please
P.S.S and if you really think you'll get down the pants of some hot babe on yonge with that DIRTY hat on...YOUR SICK...take a shower you gross pig(with soap & not in a park fountain)

Hey Zanta hohoho. I agree with mememe 100%. In my office, we call you "Freakshow" and nobody thinks you are funny or entertaining. I see you every day and used to feel sorry for you. Now, I simply wonder what is wrong with our institutions that crazy folk like you are not taken off the street and cared for. It is obvious that you cannot take care of yourself and are an extreem nuisance. What you do is not normal. You are not normal. I think the end is near for you. I predict you will be squashed by a vehicle while you play in traffic. Maybe, I should start an office pool. hmmm

zanta what about you're 3 sons?????????????where are they?????????????????????????? it is a bloody shame

he payes child support for all his kids karen, and he loves them all very much. this man had a serious accident that changed him into a completely different person. i've met a couple of people that knew him from before... he's not hurting anybody, so i don't know why people won't just leave him alone, and stop posting all this awful things in here. and yes, a lot of people think what he's doing is very funny and entertaining, and everywhere he goes people come up to him to say hello because they like him and find him an interesting character. even some cops love him and will stop just to chat with him. hehe, that is pretty funny. people are of different kinds, that's what makes some of us special, and some of us like sheep following the herd. take care everybody. stop hating, start caring...

Hey "spirited away". You met people who knew him before he fell on his head and now he is different - what's your point? There might be people who think he is funny and entertaining, but I don't know any. The people I know find him to be a pest and others think he is down right frightening. He hassled a woman on the steet this week that I guarantee you didn't find his behavior ammusing. I am not surprised cops stop and talk to him. I bet none take him home to dinner or to meet their sister! How many cops did it take to arrest him? By the way, how many times in the past year was he arrested? Yes, some people are speecial At the same time, others are sick. Read what people are saying and get your sick friend some help.

spirited away if you see zanta tell him there are 4 chidren for the child support and not 3,and he is not the person from before the accident,the man is a danger for himself and other people,he hates the whole world including you,maybe you can start caring

police report juli 22 at 10.30am!arrest made in sexual assault ,man faces assault charges at media conference.at 10.30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!was that our bloodheaded zanta????????????????????????

Message to the "hot ass girls" thinking of hooking up with this loser. Let's explore his "qualities" from the various postings from people that sure sound like they know him: (1) no job (2) needs a bath (3) herpies sores around his mouth (4) drug adict (5) hangs out with dirty street kid/girl who gives BJs for drugs (7) bald (8) brain injury (9) bi polar (10) manic (11) total denial (12) pays or should pay child support for 4 kids (13) known to police (14) nusiance (15) totally self centered. (16) rude. On the bright side, he does have a good tan and hasn't killed anybody that we know of....yet.

haha awsome pic. ive actually seen this guy on the subway with some friends of mine. hes a cool guy...a bit odd...but cool.

is one of his elves already pregnant????????????????

hello "face it"
where do you get all your information from? you are wrong in quite a few of your points there. get a life and stop talking shit you don't know.
let's see... 1. no job because he is retired on workers comp. for serious injury to his back
2. takes daily showers, he just rolls all over the place that's why he's so dirty 3. not a cold sore, he smoked his cigarette the wrong way not paying attention and burned himself, hehe
4. he just smokes weed, nothing else, not even alcohol. is that such a crime? everyone does it.
5. the girl you are talking about is not homeless you moron, she is a model in fact, with 2 different agencies. yes yes! a place to stay and a family, and can afford to buy a joint. she sure did a good job at fooling you, hehe. never judge a book by it's cover, idiot. I can just keep on going on and on, but it's waisting my time. shame for talking shit you don't have a clue about. get a life of your own, instead of coming here writing shit. or are you jelous?????

I simply compiled info available on the web, from people like yourself who seem to have the inside scoop.
Let's explore YOUR comments further:
(1) no job, confirmed. Also, takes advantage of WSIB? Hell, we have all seen the push-ups, so no obvious ongoing back injury. Nice.
(2) Dirty from rolling around, confirmed.
(3) sores on his face, confirmed. You can choose to believe the cause.
(4) drugs, confirmed. Yes it is a crime.
(5) model - escort...whatever
(6-15) no objection, so confirmed? hehe.
Mom, your comments don't convince me. The guy still sounds like a peach.

THERE IS NO BACK INJURY BUT A SERIOUS BRAIN INJURY, PEOPLE ,PLEASE OPEN YOU'RE EYES,THIS MAN NEEDS HELP.

This is for the crack head who just left on aug 15. Luv are you smoking zanta's weed of just sucking on his herpes or cold sore or "weed burn" I wonder if the reason yu felt the need to come to this crack heads defence is that you might be the street girl that hangs around old zanta and if that is the case you think kinda highly of yourself 2 model agencies. Anyway's this is Zanta's web site so let me speak about this goof. I mean a grown ass man going around shirtless or in that rag he calls a shirt and going to everyone doing his best impression of a WWE wrestler. Let's put aside the fact that he looks and smells like he worked in city dump and talk about many voices in his head. I hope that they are giving him advice like get help, get soap, get a job. Zanta i hope you don't feel that all these people that you approach everyday are entertained by you cause that is not the case we are laughing. So to cut a long story short Zanta you need to move on and try something new cause this act of yours is just stupid.
P.S. No hard feeling to luv you just needed to be put in your place---you should have just put a good job or Zanta's great you shouldn't comment on other ppls comment's

hey, anyone seen zanta at wakefest last weekend? he had everyone's attention at the back of the farie, the captain had to come and see what's going on because the boat was doing a wheelie. that was insane

I must appologise for what I wrote the last few days. Yes, I am a little jelous, with all the attention this guy Zanta is getting from all these hot women everywhere he goes. It seems that they're all running up to him just to touch him. I wish I could too... ohhh yeah... Peace out Zanta man.

Oh my God, I'va seen this guy last week on the subway and he did like 200 push ups. I talked to the guy and he seemed pretty cool, and not as crazy as he looks. And he's got quite an awsome body. You rock Zanta!

Dave,

Do I sense some hostility in your e-mails? Oh yes, this "sweet" gentle man is calling everyone who is not amused by him "fucked". Such a nice person. You are a greasy creep with an inappropriate age preference (i.e. 15-6 year-old girls). I have no doubt you have a cleaner come to your apt. once a week and we working folks are paying for that. My, how you have bounced back from your "back injury". 5000 push-ups a day and managing to bottleneck traffic at Eglinton and Scarlet while so doing. mmm... must have been one hell of a rehabilitation program.

And yes Dave you are a genious...because Einstein surely would have spelled "exstremly" that way too.

And yes, you are a "major celebrity" because surely too the likes such other celebrities such as Brad Pitt and Clint Eastwood would kill for the chance to appear live on Breakfast Televsion or Speaker's Corner. You make a fool of yourself, of this city, and of every hard working person who pays for you to be on social assistance, disability, or whatever.

And for all you girls out there who think this asshole has a "hot bod"...hope you are not allergic to penicillin.

Zanta rocks, he's a funny cool guy. You keep on being "disgusted" by looking at yourself in the mirror there! ha ha

Matt,

You really are a fanatical advocate (plese refer to dictionary for meaning of this word) for, and defender of, "Zanta". Are you that lunatic street person who blindly follows Zanta around. I love your clever wit "look at myself in the mirror there" - and the very well composed "ha ha". Are you a graduate of the creative writing school for losers. Your witty retort to my email has indeed put me in my place...to quote you - "ha ha". I have looked at myself in the mirror and I see a very attractive, hard working, university educated woman. What do you see? Let me guess....you are also on disability or some other form of "I am too lazy to be a productive member of society or at least give it my best shot" social assistance. Do you live vicariously through "Zanta" or perhaps you have unresloved homosexual tendencies? Another theory...you are a parasitic cling-on who gets free drugs from Dave.

Still disgusted.

hay i seen this guy down town he made my cuz screem it was so funny

Matt,

You think Zanta is a "funny cool guy". You are obviously one of life's rejects. If you think it's cool to harass elderly and underage teens, get banned from public places, have a criminal record, burn marks on your lips from smoking cigaretts backwards, being thrown off a bus for reeking of body ordour, then by all means align yourself with one the "cool kids". How old are you...if you are an adult you must be mentally challenged and perhaps that is why you find this creep "cool" I guess he is your new best friend. Well, losers love losers..it makes them feel less inadequate and marginalized.

I was Zantas cellmate in maplehurst correctional facility,Zanta is cool shit. just for the record....HE IS NOT CRAZY....YES YES YESS HYDROLICS ....

Oh well, since you were his cellmate I guess he must be "cool shit". So sorry, I didn't realize "Zanta" had friends in such high places. Hey Dave, got any more ex-cell mates you want to have post here. This all goes to further downgrade your already deplorable reputation. Dave. Oh yes, Dave, you can indeed be a fulltime father to your daughter...a drug-using, perverted, psychotic, lice-ridden, volatile, ex-convict. Sounds like father of the year material to me.

Zanta is on cool muthafucka i dont know why all of you guys got you panties in a knot....i think y'all are just jealous....KEEP IT REAL ZANTA WE LOVE YOU
L1L_T1zZy
p.s. Zanta you got some BOMB chronic

this guys a moron, I witnessed him being arrested infront of a fitness club, and he started to cry like a bitch. He is a child molester.

Brandon:
Tell us more about your lockup with Mr Zanta. You must have a few good stories to tell. Is he still there?

hey "disgusted",
Looks like you have a lot of time on your hands to be here writing stuff every couple of hours, maybe you're just sitting on your ass home all day, or are you obsessed with Zanta/ Dave? Why such hatred?? Go relaz and have a beer

Lil Tizzy (or whatever)

As a matter of fact I did have time today to email on this post. I am a social worker and was between patients today - yes that's right. I am professionally employed in the field of mental health. I will not relax and have a beer, as you so eloquently suggested. As long as this man, who is a threat to society, is still harassing people I will in fact keep posting. Therefore, I suggest you "keep it real" and grow up. I live near this animal and he leers and makes sexual gestures to my 15 year-old daughter. If you condone that behaviour, then you need professional counselling - not by me though, I will facilitate a referral on your behalf.

Disgusted

PS: This is how you spell relax, not relaz or is that your cool street lingo.

disgusted,keep a watching eye on this animal please,he is a danger for you're daughter,when you are a social worker, maybe there is a possibility to do something to keep this man from the street.

disgusted,you're daughter is still a child,i advice you .go to the police before it is to late.

ALL I ASK IS TO SEE A GOOD CLEAR PHOTO OF HIM TO SEE IF HE IS THE PERSON I THINK HE COULD BE, AS I HAVE EXPLAINED ON THE BREAKFAST TELEVISION'S BULLETIN BOARD SINCE ABOUT MAY OF THIS YEAR SINCE I FIRST GLIMPSED HIM. I DON'T LIVE IN TORONTO. THE PERSON I THINK HE COULD BE IS ORIGINALLY FROM TORONTO AND HAS FAMILY THERE. I AM A FEW HOURS NORTH OF TORONTO. IF I CAN SEE A CLEARER PHOTO OF HIM THAT WILL TELL THE TALE. WHEN I FIRST DISCOVERED HIM ON BT I RECEIVED EMAILS FROM A MYSTERIOUS SANTA AT THE SAME TIME. THEN THIS PERSON CALLED ZANTA, I HAVE SEEN HIM A FEW TIMES ON TV AND HE HAS OCCASIONALLY HAD THE SAME CLOTHES ON AS THIS PERSON THAT I'M PRETTY SURE HE MIGHT BE - HE LOOKS IDENTICAL. A CLOSER PHOTO THAN THIS ONE ON HERE WILL HELP, THANK YOU.

What is the "bomb chronic" that Zanta is handing out (cocaine mixed with marajauna)?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS, IS IT SOMETHING YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO INGEST - PERHAPS IT'S A FREE SAMPLE OF HIS DRUGS IF HE GROWS THEM OR SOMETHING? I MEAN HE DOES PUT YOU IN MIND OF DAVID KORESH IN WACO, IN SOME WAYS. DOES HE PROMOTE MARIJUANA, FOR HIS CHEST SAYS "JUST SAY NO" ON THE ONE PIC, BUT PEOPLE SAY HE IS A COKE ADDICT AND SMOKES WEED ALL THE TIME? I GUESS HE'S JUST LOVING THE ATTENTION WHETHER NEGATIVE OR NOT JUST AS LONG AS IT LASTS. IF HE GETS NOTORIETY, FAME, RICH, FROM IT (REGARDLESS THE OTHER SCUTTLEBUTT SURROUNDING HIM), I GUESS THAT LEAVES LOTS OF ROOM FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO TRY SIMILAR PURSUITS! I JUST KNOW THOUGH, THAT IF HE REALLY PEEVES SOMEONE OFF, IF SOMEONE "WANTS HIM GONE" HE WILL BE GONE - I DON'T THINK HE REALIZES HOW SIMPLE THAT IS AND THAT'S A REALITY FOR HIM. BUT ANYONE IN THE LIMELIGHT AND WHO PUSHES BUTTONS HAS THAT TO DEAL WITH. ANYTHING GOES IN THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN IT SEEMS, WHY FIGHT IT, UNLESS HE'S IN YOUR FACE, IF HE IS DEAL WITH IT - BOTHERING YOU I MEAN. I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM PISS OFF A BIKER - I MEAN IF THAT'S WHAT HE ACTUALLY IS DOING - DELIBERATELY TRYING TO UPSET AND PROVOKE PEOPLE.

OY, I'VE BEEN TOLD HE HAD ONE KID, DIDN'T KNOW THAT MANY. IF HE'S CONVINCED HE'S RIGHT IT'S ONE THING TO FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN - BUT LIKE THAT? I, LIKE PROBABLY THE REST OF TORONTO, FEEL VERY SORRY FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH WITH THEIR FATHER DOING THAT IN PUBLIC AND HOW IT WILL SCAR THEM FOREVER. HIS CHILDREN ARE LAUGHING STOCKS NOW. I THINK IT PROBABLY HAS MORE TO DO WITH HIM TRYING TO PEEVE OFF HIS WIFE OR EX AND OTHER WOMEN IN HIS LIFE - TO EMBARASS THEM, OR TO ATTEMPT (IN HIS MIND), TO MAKE THEM JEALOUS SOMEHOW. I REALLY DON'T THINK IT'S WORKING FOR HE IS ONLY REPRESENTING HIMSELF WITH HIS BEHAVIOUR, AND IT IS NOT A REFLECTION OF THEM, I DON'T SEE IT AS THAT ANYWAY. MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY, HIS WIFE'S FAMILY, HIS WIFE AND HIS CHILDREN. HE SHOULD CLEAR THAT STUFF UP LIKE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT THEN PURSUE THIS PROFESSION OF HIS IF HE'S STILL INCLINED OR INTERESTED IN IT.

Hey, just to make this clear, the guy doesn't smoke crack or do coke like these people are saying on here. He just smokes weed and has some serious issues. That's for sure....

All this bad stuff posted here about this guy is only by a couple of people that are out to ruin him for who knows what reasons and aren't really sure what they're talking about. That's all...

POOR ZANTA

I don't think so G, you can't speak for everyone like that. You don't know that people are out to ruin him and that they don't have legitimate issues with him. People have a right to their opinion on public boards. As I said before, just being the Devil's Advocate, for I've heard lots of him and remain undecided. His behaviour and attire undermine that statement that he uses coke - if people draw that conclusion that's normal and easy to do. Plus stuff has been written about him to that effect. People are naturally concerned about his children so if they are not embarrased or psychologically damaged by him then let's see photos of them with him, and see them visiting him where he does his performances, I think people would then believe more that he is not dangerous and may like him more. If it's a career he should clear that stuff up then people would be more accepting of him, because he's hard to appreciate and enjoy when people suspect he is doing it to psychologically harm and abuse people in his life - lets get to the truth.

Zanta, why wouldn't you post my last commentary?

Ruin him, no. I think if you read the messages you will notice that huge numbers of people are identifying that he "has some serious issues" and needs professonal help. We are tired of him creating disturbances for reasons we could care less about. At the same time, a warning to impressional young kids who might think his nonsence is funny. Stay away from this dope smoking freak. You could get hurt, sick or pregnant.

Hope he is all gone......

ahahah YES YES!!bck it up big boi!!! IM A LESBIAN IM A LESBIAN!!!
UR THE BEST ZANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are other places to read about him. I don't know who has the real facts about him, other than what you can conclude on your own from meeting him or watching him. Leah McLaren at the Globe has interviewed him. There's many postings on the Breakfast Television Bulletin Board. Why is he not on there anymore, outside their window? I heard he may have an imitator, anyone know about that?

let me tell you why he is not on BT anymore. City tv charged him with tresspassing and although there is no proof of nothing, he can't go half a killometer near the stupid place. He didn't break any law, anyone can stay in front of the camera because it's pointing at the street. City Tv sucks, and there will probably be a lawsuit there!

as for you bubba smith, give me a bit more time, and I will let you know what's going on. I have pics and video and will get more for you. is this your site? I thought i read that earlier. If it is let me know .Take care. You seem to be the most openminded one here.

No this is not my site. Sure I'd like to learn and see more. (WYSIWYGK2@hotmail.com)

Isn't this Zanta's site, himself?

nope, not his. he is getting a website done by life capture media. will be done soon.

yeah, i found out that this is someone else's. i guess Zanta's site will be reached then at zanta, toronto, obviously right? he's long overdue to have one i think.

Hey Loser Zanta,

What's the problem...none of your little "street urchins" and ardent supporters able to rally around you in your time of need and post bail money to get you out of jail....ha ha looks good on you. Hope you rot in there.

hey marla, he was put in there because his wife is a liar, and when the truth comes out, she will go to jail, lying to the police and putting someone innocent in jail is a CRIME!!!!!! She saw him at dundas square with signs which he was going to use to protest at the police station to start and investigation to get his daughter. She freaked when she saw them, started kicking them around and ran right to a police car and said thet Zanta was stalking her. I don't think so, they haven't been together for almost a year, and now she's saying he's stalking her?? come on people, this is ridiculous!

TORONTO ZANTA IS OUTTA THIS WORLD MOVED TO TORONTO AND RENTED A ROOM OFF OF HIM FOR A MONTH I WAS HIS ROOMATE UNTIL I DECIDED TO MOVE OUT A FEW DAYS AGO. YOU HAVE SOME SERIOUS ISSUES !!!!!!!!!! I CAUGHT U ALONG WITH CHANTALLE RUNNING AROUND IN HER BIKINI SWIM WEAR WHAT THE FUCKS UP WITH THAT IM GLAD YOUR IN JAIL! BUT I STILL ASK MYSELF WHY ARE YOU IN PC?????????? ANYWAYS GET HELP!!!!!!!!

why isn't my comment that I put in yesterday morning posted on here yet???

shane, can you tell us,is zanta capable to take care off his 4 chidren???????????

shane, you lived with zanta and didn't pay a penny for being there, and it was a lot longer than 1 month, that's for sure. more like 2-3. Shame on you, because Dave only had good things to say about you, and trusted you and liked you a lot. As for Chantalle, you can do a lot better than that anyways Shane.. she only said bad things about you.. which wasn't very nice. that's all I have to say about that. Take care of yourself

Is Dave capable of taking care of his children? the awnser is No if you forget to turn off the stove on a daily basis is it safe for a child to live there? Or falling asleep with light smoke. Dave did receive rent money! and i have been in ontario now 2 months and 1 day to be exact so i lived with dave for 6 weeks. anyways I could go on for hours about Dave i have atleast a hundred pictures of him doing the strangest things. Needless to say he is a nut and has been checked into a mental institution before. They found many things wrong with him. To everyone that thinks they know dave ( his fans ) what a joke... you dont u only see and hear the things that he tells. after conversations with his mother, father, brother, ex wife, landlord, freinds i can tell you the whole story so read between the lines people anyways have a good day!

i work on yonge st, its been very nice NOT to have seen you in past couple of weeks...Hopefully your in jail dave & not disturbing anyone @ this time. NOW, I enjoy my breaks during the day because i can go outside, have a smoke, a tea, and not hear you, "YES, YES", NO, NO, No.....not anymore, well not @ this time...I HOPE UR GONE FOR GOOD...for my sake, for the peoples sakes and for your families sake...PEACE, SUCKA!!!

he's far away from gone mememe. wait 2 weeks and then start watching city tv, he'll be back on there again.

Shane, we all know he's a little nuts, normal people don't go doing the stuff he does, but he's still a good guy, you have to admit that. And his kids are from 2 past relationships living with their moms and getting old, he still payes for them, that's the way it is with a lot of men these days, only some of them don't pay anything or even acknowledge they have kids. Am I right? He needs someone to help him get out of this and talk to him, instead of people criticizing and insulting him. That doesn't make anything better. All the same, everyone's entitled to their opinion... Take care Shane, hope you have a good place to stay at, and mememe enjoy your smokes in peace because I don't think it will be for much longer. Take care everybody! ;-)

I think a correction must be in place here! First I believe that Zantaguy has 4 kids with 3 different women and if I have my facts straight he is not paying support if any monies at all for the little girl borm out of that(last) relationship. Whazzz up with that!!! ZANTA......

Back in Alberta! One last question who pays for his children??? you mean I pay for them! Wcb (workers compensation) how much longer is workers comp gonna keep paying him? he can do physical things hes gotta be careful! or hes gonna get in even more trouble! Anyways mystery person/girl im assuming who are you????? anyways have a good day everyone

shane, who is paying zanta's lawyer?'workers compensation?it is a bloody shame

hey Zanta, please if your reading...stop wearing the hat...u are spoiling the whole myth about Saint Nicholas for all the children you expose yourself too (unkowingly, cause your that stupid) You have kids. Didn't they believe in the real saint nick (& I'm not talking about you either) The man who deserves to wear the hat is a jolly man, who doesn't smoke drugs, flex his muscles nor yells at people as they walk down the street peacefully. Santa didn't shave his face, in fact he was pale with rosy cheeks and white long hair. Santa definitely didn't do pushups in fountains, on top of trucks or vans, he didn't have a six pack. Don't you remember Dave? is it coming back to you now? Santa wore a nice clean red suite with black shiny boots, not dirty blue shorts and discolored Nikes. Come on give the man some credit, HE'D HAVE BRAND NEW NIKES @ ALL TIMES...he is Santa. He had enough gifts for all kids all around the world. sorry dave only good kids, thats why he didn't come to your house & if your parents told you differently when you were a kid they lied to ya. Dave Santa wore a shirt and pants at all times, you should do the same, maybe you'll get farther in life & I'm not referring to a prison in the south of mexico either. GIVE YOUR END A SHAKE, WAKE UP, LIFE'S TOO SHORT. U YOU BIT SANTA'S STYLE, GET YOUR OWN, let me guess, u can't cause your too stupid....u r a true loser, goof..GROW UP WILL YA! GO TO SCHOOL!!

he's not paying for his last daughter because they're still going to court about this situation I believe.

Well if the mystery girl sounds like she's supporting him then obviously she must be his girlfriend or something. On the WCB comment, yeah, if he's bs'ing about that and we are all paying for him, don't forget there are many others out there doing the same crap and getting away with it too!

Zantas not in maplehurst, he was cell mates with my soon to be b/f...he seems really nice I did a few three ways for him. The poor guy just wants the police investagate his daughtws case...that would drive all u a lil nuts too...so stop Judging

I'm defenetly not his girlfriend or something Bubba. hehe. I've just known him for a few months now and he's a pretty good guy. I'm not supporting him, i'm just writing down what I think and know about him. I've been talking to him about a lot of stuff, and he doesn't mean no harm to anybody. He just needs a friend and someone to talk to.. and needs to calm down a little before he get's himself in a lot trouble. And a lot of people posted on here a whole bunch of B.S. for I don't know a reason. Why do people have to make up things and lie and gossip like that?? Well, have a good one everybody.

shane you are right, you did not pay a cent when he took you in, off the streets, coming from alberta. the money was not the issue. when you moved out, you took everything that was not nailed down, that was not right.you were working after a week, and collecting welfare, which is fraud, complaints have gone to the welfare system so heres hoping you do not receive anymore.in your room food was found in the cupboard, rotton and smelly.how could you take things that did not belong to you.you could be charged with theft. we have your address in alberta, so we will be talking soon. welfare sent you a letter, so the last name was easy to find in alberta, there is only 1 last name like yours, which we already have called.Taking the camcorder was the lowest, not to mention his clothes, towels and etc.

zanta is in jail lmao at don at broadveiw n gerrard 1

Supergir/mystery girl: Wake up! Good guys don't walk out on one child and then make another (and another and another). Good guys take full responsiblitily for all of their children. If a relationship fails, they happily pay child support immediately without waiting for a court's decision. Good guys don't live to disrupt other people's lives. Good guys make a contribution to the world. Your guy Zanta is a good for nothin' azzhole. He is more than "a little nuts". He is a danger to himself and to others. Shame on you for supporting and defending his drug habits, his lifestyle, his behavior, his legal issues, etc.

for something he did Not do, the only reason he's in there is because he plead innocent and he's going to high court. and he will win, because he didn't do anything. And he will sue some people's asses. Shane return his stuff back, he wants the tape of his daughter from that camcorder you stole!

Hey zanta,
saw u walking sadly with your head hung low through college park...Who gave you the shiner?? Get that in jail...Well I see you had pants on and a shirt!!! now was that so hard to put on. Whatever it was you did, do it again it was nice not to have seen you around for the past few weeks...but it was more gratifying to see you with the blackeye...SUCKA...peace...go away for good....

high court,high money,zanta must be a rich man,and what will he win,the lottery?
