David Miller, Two-Term Toronto Mayor

The City of Toronto’s two-term former Mayor David Miller talks about immigrating to Canada, his transformative experiences at Harvard, vivid memories from his campaign victories in 2003 [the BROOM!] and 2006 [the REPEAT!], his assessment of Mayor Chow’s current reign, governing in a system with 44 Councillors that have no party affiliation, why David Crombie remains a Toronto Legend [both are former Swansea boys], why they still call him Mr Mayor in the United States [although he misses wearing the Chain of Office], the importance of hand-written thank you notes, and why it’s inadvisable to play rugby while running for office [black eyes & chipped teeth are NOT a good look!] David’s book Solved: How the World’s Great Cities Are Fixing the Climate Crisis is available at https://utorontopress.com/9781487506827/solved/ For more on David’s work at C40 Cities, please visit https://www.c40.org/our-team/david-miller/ For David’s Cities 1.5 podcast, please visit https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/cities-1.5-podcast TORONTO LEGENDS is hosted by Andrew Applebaum at [email protected] All episodes available at https://www.torontolegends.ca/episodes/ Learn more about your ad choices.
