You won't condemn him for using tax payer money to take his side-chick on vacations for 2 years?
He literally had the city pay for his sugar baby.

You are assuming facts that I'm not prepared to assume, and that I actually think are unlikely to be proven.
As much as I consider any Mayor taking international "fact-finding" or "business development" road trips to points yonder to be a big waste of taxpayer money, I'm well aware that every Toronto mayor takes these trips, and if you take the trips, you need to take some staff with you. I know nothing to suggest his side thing wasn't properly part of the delegation he travelled with. I think that following the money on this issue is a red herring.
I don't think whatever happened in the hotel rooms at the end of the day cost taxpayers any extra wasted money (unless Tory's Viagra was covered by the City's health benefit plan!).
Tory invited an ethics review in connection with his disclosure and resignation. Politicians usually don't invite scrutiny unless they're pretty squeeky clean in relation to the money involved. I'll predict he comes through the ethics review without a scratch.

What the hell are you talking about?
They went on trips together, he fucked her, the city of Toronto paid her salary and all other expenses.
What more do you need to prepare for? What, are you waiting for a sex tape?
If they both were properly on the trip (i.e. Tory went and did what he was supposed to do on the trip, and she was a proper adjunct for those purposes), there's no waste of taxpayer money for fucking purposes. I tend to think the entire trip was a waste of money, as I've said, but not because of the fucking.What the hell are you talking about?

Look, I'm no apologist for Tory. He's been a useless Mayor. However, going after him over money goes nowhere. Better to be honest and just say he was a sanctimonious hypocrite who imposed a lot of hardships on Torontonians during Covid but denied himself almost nothing, so good riddance.
But you're going to hate who you get in the by-election even more!
It's not that he wasted money, it's he had his fuck toy on payroll. The people's payroll.
Then when things got hot, he moved her over to MLSE as an "Associate Director"
According to you, he should probably hold a Career Fair at Cafe Atlantis.
I think there'd need to be a stronger connection than she's simply "on the payroll". If Tory was single, and happened to start dating someone on the City of Toronto payroll, would you be making the same complaint? I don't think so. There's no code of conduct rule that prevents politicians from dating/marrying staffers, as long as it doesn't create a conflict of interest for either. The logic you're advancing doesn't stand up to scrutiny.It's not that he wasted money, it's he had his fuck toy on payroll. The people's payroll.

I think you are either implying or assuming that the ONLY or PREDOMINANT reason she was hired is because they were together already or Tory thought he had a shot with her. One, nobody knows that, and no one at City Hall is even suggesting it. The storyline is that working closely together during the pandemic lit the fires of their June-December 15th love (not a reference to the dates of their relationship). Two, if they were seeing one another before she was hired - there goes the "power dynamic" argument that some are touting as the basis for their condemnation.
There are plenty of people on the "people's payroll" that are dating or even married to each other. Do you really care, if they are doing the jobs they are paid for, and there's no conflict of interest? You shouldn't care, because if you do it kind of just makes you look jealous, rather than a guardian of the public purse. Not a good look, especially on Valentine's day!
I'm sure he helped her move on to MLSE with the influence he has over there. Again, people with the right connections get breaks that others don't. Don't hate the player - hate the game!
The city also paid for all of Tory's Viagra. No wonder the city has a huge deficit.What the hell are you talking about?

Stop right there. He's not. You're creating a fake scenario. The man has been married for almost half a century.
Stop trying to talk around the reality of the situation.
I haven't read the 15 pages in this thread, so I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already. From a friend who works close to the Mayor's office, it was common knowledge that Tory and Barb had been living separate lives for a while. She's been living at their place in Florida and many knew about the affair.
Personally, I don't care if he was banging a 31 year-old. I'm reading how bent out of shape some people are getting over this. I actually find it quite amusing at the outrage.
For those who don't like Tory and think he's messed up the city. Careful what you wish for. The next Mayor could be far worse.

Bravo!
Stop him in his epic journeys to "what if-villes" lest we find ourselves stuck inside a Dodge Charger barreling down a street in Charlottesville.

It's not the affair so much itself but the circumstances of the affair.
Tory was fucking his employee and considering the position of power that he's in ie) Mayor of the economic powerhouse and largest fucking city in Canada, that's a huge lapse in judgement. You think his side piece didn't benefit in some way or could have used the compromising position she had him in to benefit?
I thought you get the first 25 accusations for free. Its only after then that it counts.
