The longtime CTV journalist Natalie Johnson is running to replace Brad Bradford who is actually looking to replace Olivia Chow as Toronto mayor!
Johnson, 39, started her political reporting in Ottawa with CTV nearly two decades ago. She moved in 2010 in Toronto, when she reported on municipal affairs in several elections and by-elections.
Giorgio Mammoliti, an outspoken former Toronto city councillor and member of the Ontario legislature, has died at 64.
His son Chris Mammoliti confirmed the news to The Canadian Press on Wednesday, saying his father was surrounded by family members when he died.
“We are obviously devastated and are left with a tremendous void,” he wrote in a statement. “Dad loved his family, his community and our beautiful city.”
The family is asking for privacy as they grieve, he wrote.
Mammoliti served as an NDP member of provincial parliament from 1990 to 1995, sat on city council from 2000 to 2018 and twice ran for Toronto mayor.
He also unsuccessfully ran for the People’s Party of Canada in last year’s federal election to represent the riding of Simcoe-Grey, northwest of Toronto.
