Show Notes
Guest: David Rider is the Star's City Hall Bureau chief.
An hour after the Star's City Hall reporters David Rider, Ben Spurr and Alyshah Hasham reported Toronto Mayor John Tory had a consensual affair with a 31-year-old staffer, the mayor confirmed the inappropriate relationship and announced his resignation. The news came as a shock for a politician who sailed to victory months ago, and comes at a crucial time for the city as it needs to pass a budget and now call a byelection to replace him. We talk with the Star's bureau chief about how this story came together and what happens next.
This episode was produced by Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
