DIAPERMAN SMITHERMAN WRITES A BOOK

George Smitherman was never shy about speaking his mind.

Unconventional Candour, written in collaboration with former Toronto Star editor and columnist Ian Urquhart, chronicles his start as the son of a trucker in Etobicoke to a powerful provincial politician to distant second-place finisher in the last City of Toronto municipal campaign.

The book offers some startling revelations about the often controversial politician, including an admission that former Toronto mayor Rob Ford was not the only 2010 mayoral candidate who’d tried crack cocaine, and also that the former Liberal health minister does not blame himself for the eHealth and Ornge Air Ambulance scandals that rocked his government.
 
I wonder if he mentions his comments from 2008 when he was Ontario's health minister, regarding understaffing in nursing homes?
