Star columnists discuss the ‘Great Mayoral Battle Royale’


Listen Later

Guests: The Toronto Star All-Star Opinionator Panel, featuring columnists Emma Teitel, Shawn Micallef, Matt Elliott and host Edward Keenan

After a snooze of an election in October, Toronto thought it was in for four more years of John Tory’s bland inevitability.

This episode was produced by Edward Keenan, Crawford Blair and JP Fozo.
