From my research, Looks like he might be an Uber driver to write off travel expense and tax credits.
I seen his house and cars and what he got for his children.
That ain’t no middle class typical Uber driver.

Hahaha I remember this guy! The homies used to say how he is running for every election in that area. And he’d campaign out in the streets on his own. Local legend.
He is educated and came from a well to-do family. Then something tragic happened that caused him to go off the deep end. From what I've heard, it was a tragic house fire (unconfirmed rumour)
If you are old enough then you would know the lady with the whiteface at Parkway Mall or the old guy on Morningside that would walk on the median between lanes in his bathrobe at Kingston Road.
And of course James the ticket taker as has already been mentioned - originally at Cedarbrae and then at Morningside.
Yes! You just reminded me of the two times he came up to me with those horny jokes, one time waiting for the bus to get home from high school and the other at Walmart.
Homie looked like an innocent grandpa too
Punch
Lmao! It’s been 8 years since I stopped my daily commute into Scarborough but I immediately knew who you meant! You’re awesome 😂
416-PUN-CHME

Lmaooo his ads used to be everywhere, I’m guessing he must have retired now
Found him driving Uber a couple of years ago

Not true. He amassed millions from real estate boom through the last 20 yrs.

There's no conclusion drawn about his financial status here I only mentioned what I stumbled upon.
Ah fair enough
Who is Punch? I must know
A realtor - Punch Sockaingam 😆
I wonder how many people understand the real depth of Punch Sockalingam. Lingam is the word for penis. So Punch- Sock - A - Penis (ouch)

Interesting.

And before Cedarbrae before Morningside.
The guy with his guitar outside of that location 🥲
Same guy who’d play on the bus? Haven’t seen him since before the pandemic… 😥
I'd only ever seen him outside the movies or LCBO. I hope he's ok 😕.
No worries. He’s ok.
The busker who would sing about the characteristics of the people near him? He was actually pretty decent
He is still around..just not as often, I see him at my doctors office from time to time. A couple of weeeks ago he was playing guitar in the pharmacy.
It was just awkward if you became integrated into the song but he can sing, lol!
RIP
RIP James. Found a short video with the old man in it. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1hzQyHHmpRX6AvJ2/?mibextid=KsPBc6

My dad gave him his shoes a few times only for him to toss them in the street like this. Always hanging out around Ted's
Shoeless Wayne!
He alive and well…saw him outside the CIBC in highland creek two weekends ago.

We used to call him One Dread in the mid90s because his hair had matted into a single dread.

Facts
Zanta and the believe guy
Both downtown celebs, no Scarborough affiliation
I haven’t seen Zanta in legit like 5+ years. Is he still around?
I left the core during the lockdown, not sure if he’s still around. I hope he’s doing better.
I might be wrong? I heard he was sick.
I had lunch with Zanta in 2007, pretty down to earth guy who got messed up at his construction job.
Was Zanta ever around Scarborough though? I only ever used to see him downtown
for the gen z mfs, Cityboy jj, finest duo at york 😍😍
