In 1983, Toronto art student Peter Grayson threw paint onto the Canadian Constitution while consulting the document at Library and Archives Canada, defacing it for all time. Join Nick, Robin, and Keely as they notice the ‘colourful’ story of the Constitution, and examine Grayson's act of protest and the heightened archival security measures that it inspired.
