Original Toronto Star caption: Mayor's man: Brian Ashton's role as assistant to Gus Harris has become a visible one. The mayor is a lowkey unassuming man who likes to operate in the shadows rather than the limelight. When the mayor is interviewed, it is Ashton who does all the talking and Harris who does all the nodding.
