Toronto Mayors: A History of the City\'s Leaders\"(Dundurn Press, Toronto, August, 2023) The first-ever look at all sixty-five Toronto mayors — the good, the bad, the colourful, the rogues, rascals, and leaders — who have shaped the city.Spanning nineteen decades and the growth of Toronto, from its origins as a dusty colonial outpost of just 9,600 residents to a metropolis of three million, this compendium provides fascinating biographical detail on each of the city’s mayors.From the first — the firebrand rebel William Lyon Mackenzie — to those of the twenty-first century — Mel Lastman, David Miller, Rob Ford, and John Tory — Toronto Mayors looks at where each came from, how they came to lead the city, what issues they dealt with, and how they steered Toronto’s city council. My book is a runaway best-seller (and, hey, if you believe THAT. I have a bridge I can sell you :)
