Sunday Supplement: Municipal election hangover

Sunday Supplement rounds up the week's most important, amusing and link-worthy news stories.

One week out, and the hangover from the municipal election still lingers in the news. But, I promise, next week's edition won't be all politics. I mean, I really, really promise.

Verbatim

"There's a misnomer out there that a big crane is going to come along when Rob is elected, grabbing these streetcars and tossing them in the lake. It's just not going to happen.
