Naturally, all hell has broken loose. Lawsuits. Referendums. And now...secession? That's an idea being floated around by Jennifer Keesmaat, the latest contender in the Toronto mayoral race.

Matt Elliott takes us inside the machinations going on against the deadline of an election less than three months away.
