Ours is insanely interesting but very polarizing and complex. City council is quite powerful and does a lot of things that make them targets of assassination (by...overdose?) from the Weird Hippy Ultraleft that's still a holdover from the Dazed and Confused era. However if you take a step back you actually realize we're about as lucky as you can get.

Someday I will come to Toronto for the Shakespeare festival and I will appreciate my deep knowledge of Toronto political history! For context. Also this, which is so confusingly named that they probably don't even put it in the textbooks.
