The stencil artist Posterchild recently painted a this stencil of one of Stephen Harper’s troops on a wall in Toronto after the G20. City workers have been by the wall to buff graffiti but only buffed the graffiti that was around this particular piece. The workers must have enjoyed the painting or agreed with the message.

At the start of summer Toronto was graced with some Banksy stencils on it’s walls. His paintings didn’t last long and caused some interesting things to happen to the paintings.
