Like most reporters, Aidan Chamandy covers a lot of different topics but he specializes in energy and housing. He can usually be found looking for government documents on obscure websites and filing freedom-of-information requests. He also hosts and produces podcasts. He's better at being a Leafs fan than anyone else on earth.
