"Electing a Mega-Mayor is a landmark book that should be read by anyone interested in Toronto city politics. It is the first book-length, survey-based case study of a municipal election in Canada, and the 2014 election just happened to be one of the most important elections in recent Toronto history."

"A robust study that contributes to the development of a more systematic understanding of municipal elections in Canada. The analysis, which provides a detailed and sophisticated look behind the scenes of a particularly distinct election, deftly captures some of the contemporary issues of municipal electoral contests."
