Inside Copy: Trash Can Candidates

Some stories you didn't need to know today start with a parking ticket and end up somewhere nobody expects. A Toronto driver who knew she'd stopped at the sign went looking for proof instead of just paying the fine, and found police body cam footage that backed her up. From there it's a jump to UK politics, where a resignation, a special election, and a satirical candidate dressed like Darth Vader with a garbage can on his head somehow all belong in the same sentence. The segment closes on a nine-hundred-million-euro medieval embroidery making a heavily guarded overnight trip from France to England, handled with more care than most people give their actual belongings.
