Earlier today, Mayor David Miller wandered over to the G20’s Alternative Media Centre to chat with NGO representatives—and catch the tail end of the Italy/Slovakia World Cup game—after his official press conference, in which he extolled the virtues of Toronto to visiting media. We caught up with him for a brief one-on-one interview, and asked for his thoughts on how the summit’s planning process has unfolded.
