The G20 blogger
by Prasanna RajagopalanThursday, Jun. 3, 2010
Pras RajagopalanPras Rajagopalan first joined CBCNews.ca as a writer in the summer of 2008.
He started writing specifically for the CBC News Toronto site last September.
He's particularly interested in city politics and urban planning issues, so when he was given the opportunity to cover the impact of the G20 summit on everyday life in Toronto, he jumped at the chance.
If he's not working, he's likely nerding out over the merits of bus rapid transit, digging up Krautrock LPs at his local record store, or sashaying through the parklands in the Don Valley.
