Stencilled onto a fence on Eastern Avenue in Leslieville. October 2012. Not the best quality photo I’m afraid. As of December 2012, the fence is gone.

“My heart bleeds for them when someone gets killed. But it’s their own fault at the end of the day.” Rob Ford quote from March 7, 2007.

Ford gives and gets in this one. Seen on “Graffiti Alley” behind Queen St. West
