Description
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 Mayor John Tory was having a consensual affair with a 31-year-old staffer, John Tory announced his resignation, confirming the inappropriate relationaship. 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 for Mayor. We talk with the Star’s bureau chief David Rider about how this story came together and what happens next. This episode was produced by Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar. Audio sources: CTV News
