Welcome #44: George Smitherman

Last episode I chatted with Scarborough area MP Salma Zahid. In that enlightening conversation one of the things we learned about Salma was that her political mentor is George Smitherman.

Today, we talk with the one-time Toronto mayoral candidate, former Liberal MPP and Ontario’s first openly gay MPP and Ontario cabinet minister, George Smitherman.

Here’s my conversation with George Smitherman.

He’s Muslim. He’s in the Armed Forces. And he’s gay. Only in Canada.

In today’s episode I speak with Aly Hirji.

I’ve known Aly since we were both in Boy Scouts. I’m speaking with Aly today about his experience as a Muslim in the Canadian Military. He also happens to be gay.
