Description

First published in 1989, Your Worship examines the highlights--and low-lights--of the careers of eight Canadian mayors who served between the 1930s and 1980s.

The subjects themselves--Gerry McGeer of Vancouver, Charlotte Whitton of Ottawa, Stephen Juba of Winnipeg, Jean Drapeau of Montreal, Bill Hawrelak of Edmonton, Grant MacEwan of Calgary, Allan O'Brien of Halifax, David Crombie of Toronto--may have been saintly or otherwise in office. None were boring.

A portrait gallery of the most unforgettable mayors in Canadian history, Your Worship is an immensely entertaining romp through city halls across the country.
