Folks- these bodies have been found just south west of London. (Shedden). This is known area for local biker gangs to dump bodies. A few years back, a little punk "wanna be" biker (who murdered a local police officer) was found dead in this vicinity.
There will most certainly be retaliations.

8 bodies found on Ontario farm

The bodies of eight men were found Saturday morning in a farmer's field west of St. Thomas, Ont., in what police are calling one of Canada's worst mass murders.
A farmer found the bodies while doing his morning rounds in an isolated, wooded area near the tiny village of Shedden, about 20 kilometres southwest of St. Thomas.

It is believed to be the biggest mass murder in recent Ontario history.
"This is a very peaceful area," said OPP Sgt. Dave Rektor. "This type of grisly finding is very shocking to a lot of people, including us."
Susan Pedler of CBC News reported from the scene that the bodies were found inside or close to three cars and a Toronto-based tow truck, just off a dirt road on the farmer's property in southwestern Ontario.
The body of a large man in grey clothes could be seen from the air, lying on his side in the back of a silver hatchback.
Ontario Provincial Police have confirmed they are investigating a multiple murder. They declined to offer further details of what they have found, saying their investigation is in its preliminary stages.
OPP are planning a news conference at 10 a.m. Sunday morning.
They would not comment on early reports that the victims were members of a biker gang who were shot and dumped at the site on Friday or early Saturday morning.
The bodies were found in four vehicles spread about 200 metres apart on the dirt road. A small silver car was hooked onto a tow truck that had a Toronto registration number. A hatchback was parked nearby with its back door open, and a van was sitting in a field some distance away.

"It is a very long, very dark road leading to the place where this happened," Pedler said.
Police rushed dozens of officers to contain the scene Saturday morning. The area was searched with dogs and helicopters, but police found the murderers had already left.
The murders were an isolated incident, police said, with no danger to local residents.
The members of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch and the Ontario chief coroner headed to the area Saturday morning to search for evidence of the murderers. Police said the bodies would be inspected at the scene and sent to Toronto for further forensic tests.
The farmer who discovered the bodies is not considered a suspect. He was reportedly being treated for shock by a grief counsellor.
CBC News reported that local residents were horrified to hear there had been a grisly mass murder in a quiet farming community where witnesses could not remember the last time there had been a serious crime.
"It's quiet and calm. Nothing ever happens here," said Darlene Deslandes, a neighbour who had a full view of the scene from her back window.
The last mass murder in the area was the savage killing of the Black Donnellys in February 1880. Five people died in a famous massacre that was blamed on fueding Irish settlers.
Police have appealed to the public for information on anything they may have seen in the Shedden area in the 24 hours before the bodies were discovered. They had no witnesses early Saturday afternoon.
