Zanta was quite the interesting person to talk to if you ran in to him on the street, but not when he was in a showboating mood (or in character, as he would say). If you caught him when he was low-key, he seems to be a quite a well spoken and intelligent man. I had a conversation with him around two years ago about his aspirations to become the Mayor of Toronto, and he seemed quite sincere and dedicated to his cause.
Unfortunately, he was banned from the TTC (public transit to the non-Torontonians), and all of the downtown core. Police were ordered to arrest him on sight for suspcion of public mischief (even if he wasn't wearing his hat or doing his entire pushup and "yes yes yes!" routine). The last time I saw Zanta was around Christmas two years ago. He was doing knuckle pushups practically naked in -10 Centrigrade weather outside Mountain Equipment Co-Op. The last I heard was that he was threatened by numerous people (including a judge) and chose to leave Toronto rather than be subjected to their form of justice.
