On Tuesday, October 26th, As It Happens's host, Carol Off, interviewed Toronto's mayor elect, Rob Ford. We have posted that interview, which was arranged in advance with Mr. Ford's director of communications. We have also posted the talkback and e-mail we aired about it over the following two days.

 

The introduction as read on air:

The weather in Toronto is stormy today.

Heavy winds. Thunderstorms. And a hundred per cent chance of four years of Rob Ford.

The penny-pinching city councillor stormed the city's municipal elections last night when he walked away with nearly half of the votes.

Earlier today, we reached Toronto's next Mayor in -- you guessed it -- Toronto.

The following day, we aired a sampling of the Talkback and e-mail we received about the interview.

And then, on Thursday, we aired a second package of talkback and e-mail.
