Between Stories: Covering The Ford Brothers
CBC's Steven D'Souza and Matt Galloway on this tumultuous time in Toronto's history
Rob Ford's scandal-plagued four years as Toronto's mayor was an unprecedented time in Canadian municipal politics. It drew international headlines for Ford's admitted use of crack cocaine, struggles with drugs and alcohol and eventual rehab stint.
Ford's mayoralty was like nothing the city - or country - had ever seen before, and his behaviour was constant fodder for late night comedy talk shows.
On Monday night, Toronto's voters decided that the Ford's reign as mayor was over, electing John Tory as his successor.
Before Monday's night election, the CBC's Steven D'Souza and Matt Galloway sat down for coffee to chat about this tumultuous time in Toronto's history, and what it was like covering the Rob Ford era.
Both Matt and Steve had a front row seat to the Ford years, and reported on his controversial rule at City Hall and the impact he had on the city. What was it like covering Rob Ford? Watch the video to hear more.
