Canadian Urbanism Uncovered

Spacing’s Pinko buttons & magnets

Recently, Don Cherry graced Toronto’s city council chambers and proceeded to take a swipe at those who do not share his particular world view.

To commemorate Mr. Cherry’s wordsmithery, Spacing has decided to make a 1.5-inch button and fridge magnet. You can place an order in our e-store ($3 for button, $5 for magnet, shipping included).  Please visit any of the stores listed below.

Since we launched the product, we’ve received loads of attention from local and national media, as well as thousands of messages on Facebook and Twitter. We’ve already had to produce 10,000 buttons and magnets!

The following is a list of all the retail outlets:
