It's got a conservative pundit that wants a council seat and has his eyes on another shot at the mayor's chair. It has three liberal candidates lining up to stop him, which might be two candidates too many. It's got high stakes, citywide implications and an ex-premier and a former mayor politicking behind the scenes.

Normally city council byelections are boring, low-turnout affairs. This one ... won't be.

GUEST: Ben Spurr, City Hall Bureau Chief, Toronto Star
