Description
"The truth, as City Hall and Mrs. God so compellingly portrays, is that Toronto really has become a divided city: the powerful and the powerless, the outrageous and the outraged, the potent and the impotent. But? and the book captures this, too? both sides surely have the energy and imagination to make it one again."? John Sewell
"A passionate exercise in citizenship."? Rick Salutin
