Tory desperately wants the mayors job and this all must be very stressful. See Tory has his wife out now during some events.
Tory omitted Rogers, that is the issue more than anything. Tory was appointed to the board at Rogers by his uncle or some relative owner.
Same as omitting being on the board of a company that lost 12 billion and went under. Not every day you lose 12 billion, but Tory probably was still paid, so no biggie, maybe Tory forgot about it.
Being on the board does not make Tory solely responsible for losing 12 billion dollars and going bankrupt. He was not the only employee at that company and not the CEO. Saying that he's responsible for the company losing 12 billion and going bankrupt is like saying that any random employee at Nortel out of tens of thousands was responsible for it going bankrupt.
What's the issue with Tory being appointed to the board because he did work for the company for many years. As far as I know, people are always appointed to boards of directors; it's not a position you apply for. I think Tory was hired by Ted Rogers senior, but that isn't any different than Doug working at the family business.
Besides, there are plenty of people that have gotten into a company where they knew someone that worked there. It's not an illegal or controversial practice.
It's Tory's choice to omit his time at Rogers or any other company so long as it doesn't affect him if he becomes mayor. Lots of people omit things in their work history.
