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!]
