Premier Dalton McGuinty’s car is in the shop after taking a pounding.

It was outside Queen’s Park Tuesday night when high winds knocked bricks from a construction project, onto the vehicle. But he managed to joke about it. McGuinty wrote on Twitter: “Yes. It’s true. Construction scaffolding fell on my car. And it wasn’t the wind. The opposition will stop at nothing to keep me from my peeps :)”

And reporters laughed when he said “both (NDP Leader Andrea) Horwath and (PC Leader Tim) Hudak were seen fleeing from the scene and I don’t know what more I can say.” McGuinty was still inside his office at the time. No one was hurt.
