Preville on Politics

Balance-sheet junkie alert!

Posted on October 18, 2007 by Philip Preville

Nerd cage match: The Toronto Sun’s Sue-Ann Levy proposes an alternative city budget which she claims could save the city $440 million. Spacing Wire’s Adam Chaleff-Freudenthaler, clearly peeved, tries to take her down line item by line item. None of it is all that enlightening, but the snippiness sure is fun.

Philip Preville

Veteran freelance writer Philip Preville lived much of his life in Montreal and Edmonton before he was lured, like so many Torontonians before him, by the promise of more work and a better living. A National Magazine Award winner and former Canadian Journalism Fellow at the University of Toronto’s Massey College, Preville writes Toronto Life’s politics column. He lives with his wife and one-year-old son in Riverdale, just close enough to the Don Valley Parkway that he can hear it when he steps outside his house—but just far enough away that it doesn’t keep him awake at night. On his office wall hangs a 1938–39 press pass belonging to his grandfather, Elias Gannon, who wrote for the Montreal Star.
