"Ford Nation"

320 Dixon is a high rise that's seen better days. The residents have also seen a lot of trouble. Last week, the building was the focus of media attention because of reports that an alleged video of the mayor may have been hidden there. But 320 Dixon is also home to hundreds of people many of whom voted for Rob Ford. The CBC's Mary Weins went back to the building at the heart of Ford Nation.
