I would&#8217;ve thought the reign of David Crombie was sexy enough for a 1970s cover spot. Oddly, other politicians like John Turner, Ed Broadbent, and each of the Ontario premiers going back to David Peterson graced the cover before a mayor ever did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto Life just celebrated its 40th anniversary.
