Guest: Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow

At the start of 2023, Olivia Chow was retired from politics and teaching university students but a shock to Toronto's political system brought her back to the front pages and into the mayor's office. She reflects on the year that was, including her campaign, her unexpected partnership with Premier Doug Ford, the city's budget struggles, her response to those who wish she was a bit less of a compromiser than she's been and her plans for 2024, including trying to find ways to create more spaces for community to form, meet and develop.

This episode was produced by Paolo Marques, Julia De Laurentiis Johnston and Edward Keenan.
