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. One career-ending political scandal later, the city has been thrust back into a wide-open campaign for the top job at city hall, one that’s drawn more than 50 contenders with no clear front-runner. With a handful of names that jump to the top of the list and a few key issues that appear likely to dominate people’s attention, it is conceivable that the weakest election mandate in Toronto history could give us the most powerful mayor we’ve ever had.

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