Breaking: Mayor Tory Steps Down.

[fearoffomo]

Tory was a good mayor thus far, well accomplished and was in the process ( technical still is) in working on the 2023 budget.
However he put his own head on a platter by his actions and voluntarily said he would resign.
Tory full well knew the game, the consequences and hoisted himself with his own petar. This is how the electoral process works and if a worse mayor comes than so be it.

It doesn’t matter if some of the public forgives him or not, he wants to go and should go as he will increasingly morph into a ‘lame duck” mayor if he decides to linger. The Mayoral- MLSE trail will be intensify and further handicap Tory as time goes by.

Likely more than one lady has spread her legs on Mayor Tory’s casting couch in the past and more scandals maybe coming.
Tory’s family life is neither here nor there in this egregious lapse of judgment which will cost the City of Toronto hundreds of millions of dollars if he stays or goes.

Good in what way? If I were to say if the city is better or worse off in the last 8 years of his reign, I would say it's worse.

The city is several crises in a trench coat: housing, transit, public services, homelessness, mental health, drugs, violent crime, infrastructure, basic amenities...

This guy is the Premier talking like this.

This guy is the Premier talking like this.

That's why he screwed over Toronto council right before an election, to make sure the burbs outvote the downtown.
Then he gave his pal Tory extra mayoral powers.
So of course he's now totally pissed that a left winger might actually get in and be able to do some non corrupt governing.

I hope people leave John Tory alone now and I absolutely wish that the witch-hunt to find his 30+yo lady/affair partner ceases. Leave her alone for fuck sakes...

A disaster is truly shaping up with the increased immigration while housing remains unavailable and insecure. This is being ignored.

John looks beaten up. I like him but for his own well being stepping down is probably the best thing.

Leaving the city with a 5.5% property tax increase.

This comment sums up perfectly why Toronto has deteriorated over the last 15 some odd years and will never become a world-class city.

To make things clear, I do care about the city. Lived here my whole life. While it's not perfect (name one city of 3 million that is) it's far better than a lot of places on earth. What I don't care about is what consenting adults do behind closed doors. In the the case of Tory, he paid the price, he's resigned now let's move on. You seem to sweat the little things. What are you, a member of the morality squad?

Oh, and if you don't like Toronto, you know you're free to live somewhere else.

Please tell us how you would solve housing, transit, public services, homelessness, mental health, drugs, violent crime and infrastructure issues. News flash, it's not as easy as you think. Perhaps a Mayor who leans far to the left would solve everything. lol

It's going to get worse depending on who the next mayor is unless the Province pitches in with more funds.
