Minutes after Mayor Rob Ford arrived at a contentious community council meeting in Etobicoke on Tuesday evening, he bolted out of his seat, sprinted up an aisle, and left the building — to wander around the parking lot and slap “Rob Ford Mayor” fridge magnets on the doors of cars.

Aw, Jane Sterk.
Talking about carbon ppm. Most excellent.
Big congrats to the Green Party for winning their breakthrough seat in the BC Legislature with Andrew Weaver.
