NEW PRODUCT! The Rob F#*king Ford buttons & magnets!

Spacing is happy to launch our new line of products: just in time for the holiday season: the Rob F#*king Ford buttons & magnets! In his first year as mayor, Ford (and his sidekick brother) has put his foot in his mouth too many times to remember. To both mourn and memorialize this chaotic time at Toronto's city hall, we've produced five buttons/magnets that poke fun at this city's mayor. You can buy a pack of buttons for $10 and a pack of magnets for $15. You can also buy individual buttons and magnets from the set. GO TO OUR E-STORE TO BUY THESE PRODUCTS! The following is a list of stores in Toronto selling the buttons and magnets:
