“Toronto – Canada’s version of a Democrat run city”

John Tory’s professed resignation as mayor of Toronto after news of an extramarital affair with a younger member of his staff is on a slow roll, which is far from the impetus it first seemed to have.

His office now says Tory is staying on to nurse his budget through city council, while some publicly urge him to reconsider stepping down.

Could it be that the seemingly strait-laced, straight-faced politician who bounced into office in the wake of the scandalous and embarrassing charade of former mayor Rob Ford’s tenure is staying put?

I hate to say it as I am no fan but maybe it is better Tory stays on.

It’s a case of the Devil you know.

Under Tory’s tenure Toronto has begun to sink into sh&thole status.

The city annually raises taxes then wastes money coddling the “communities” that spawn most of our crime and funds all sorts of racist identity politics scams with bonus points for explicitly making white folks the target.

Transit is a homeless camp, if you drive you’re the enemy, all services in general continue to deteriorate, drug lords live in public housing and the police always have better things to do than worry about your stolen car. And if you complain you’re a racist.

So yes Toronto is well underway to becoming San Francisco north.

But under Tory we will become San Francisco at a slower pace than is to be expected under his rivals.

That’s it, that’s the only bright spot. Toronto like all Liberal-Left cities pathologically shits where it eats.

Tory may help preserve the real estate market long enough for you to sell and get out of Dodge.

He should rehire his floozie too. Why not? 

Things to come in TO…

Politics can be a cruel master at times. Some politicians have had periods of fiery success resembling a mighty phoenix. Others have watched the flames fizzle out in a slow burn—and, in some cases, the most dramatic fashion imaginable.

The latter is what happened to Toronto Mayor John Tory’s career in the blink of an eye.

John Tory intends to remain as mayor for this Wednesday’s budget deliberations at city hall, a member of his hand-picked executive committee says.

Coun. James Pasternak made the comment to reporters on Monday, prior to meeting with Tory inside the mayor’s city hall office.

Tory has not yet commented on his intentions himself but had previously said that he planned to resign “in the coming days.”

How John Tory decided to resign: the inside story of an agonizing week

… The crisis deepened last Thursday when the Star, after further investigation, submitted more questions with details about the relationship. They included queries about “#MeToo” implications and if Tory had helped the woman get a job at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment after she left the mayor’s office.

Tory, long under fire for retaining as mayor his seat on the Rogers family trust, with a $100,000-per-year payment, now faced a potential firestorm thanks to Rogers Communications’ 37.5 per cent stake in MLSE.

An MLSE spokesperson said “the employee in question was hired on the basis of merit and we were unaware of any relationships other than those that were purely professional.”

Let’s see bails from the CPC, lands in Tory’s office now at MLSE. Quite a career trajectory for Miss North Of Wawa.

John Tory should not have resigned as mayor

Pride and prejudice and punishment: The fall and folly of John Tory.

He led the city through a ravaging pandemic. He pleaded with us to keep a distance, to be cautious, to take care.

But somewhere along the line, he threw prudence to the wind.

The heart wants what it wants, I guess.

From DiManno of the Star.

Never a fan, he will still be better than the Liberal-Left Whackos waiting in the wings.

‘We’ll make sure there’s only one credible centre-right candidate,’ says a Conservative political organizer

Conservative political organizers in Toronto have shifted into high gear in the wake of John Tory’s announcement that he will resign as mayor and names of potential candidates are starting to emerge.

The two names being floated the most frequently by Ontario PC and Conservative Party of Canada sources who’ve spoken with CBC News since Tory’s shock announcement on Friday night.

Many questions remain …

Was the affair about to be leaked to the public by an unknown 3rd party? Who tipped off the Star? Apparently they have been sniffing around for some time.

Someone online noted that Tory did not apologize to the “Young Lady” in his resignation speech.

I assume that was to protect himself as it could be construed as an admission of guilt in court.

One possibility is the poor abused young lady has launched or has threatened to launch a lawsuit and Tory decided to get ahead of the story.

Another possibility is that someone at MLSE resented Tory for using the organization as a dumping ground for his discarded floozies and made their displeasure known to the Star.

He has loads of political “enemies” any one of whom may have been tipped to the story.

It’s possible family was involved but not likely in my view.

Is this the prelude to the revelation of a bigger scandal?

As Toronto prepares to elect a new mayor following Friday’s surprise resignation of John Tory, Canada’s biggest city prepares for the kind of political upheaval rarely seen over the past decade.

“During the pandemic, I developed a relationship with an employee in my office in a way that did not meet the standards to which I hold myself as Mayor and as a family man,” the now-former mayor said in a statement read before reporters Friday evening at Toronto City Hall.

Please God restore Rob Ford to life.

Among the many opinions being offered about Toronto Mayor John Tory’s shock resignation Friday because of an extramarital affair with an advisor in his office, some are saying since the relationship was a private matter, consensual and has ended, he should not have had to resign.

Not often a 68 year old gets to do the nasty with Miss North Of Wawa or whatever. It may have been worth the risk of blackmail.

In 1991, Japan began its lost decade — in 2014, Toronto entered one of its own. This is when John Tory’s election as mayor initiated a yawning stretch of undeniable decline. Perhaps, with his resignation, the city still has a chance.

On Friday night, shockwaves reverberated across the country as the Toronto Star first reported Tory engaged in an affair with a 31-year-old staffer. Then, just about an hour later, Tory did something politicians simply don’t do anymore: resign.

On the surface, it was a stunning turn of events for a mayor whose entire brand was being boring. After the tumultuous Rob Ford years, scandal-weary Torontonians would’ve elected drywall if they could. In Tory, they elected the next best thing.

Married Toronto mayor, 68, resigns over affair with staffer, 31, but blames ‘mistake’ on pressure of COVID as he begs for forgiveness from his wife of 40-years

Toronto Mayor John Tory abruptly resigned late Friday after admitting to an extramarital affair with a 31-year-old former staffer.

The 68-year-old Canadian politician was caught in the messy affair with a woman less than half his age who worked as a mayoral advisor. The woman’s name has not been revealed, but their relationship reportedly ignited during the COVID-19 pandemic and was made public by The Toronto Star.

During a news conference, Tory admitted to the betrayal but did not identify his ex-lover, their courtship ended earlier this year. He said the employee has since left City Hall.

I remember when this sort of thing wasn’t an expected part of daily life in TO.

I believe this was Keymaster who has set free the demons that seek Toronto’s destruction – first victim Mayor Tory.

… On Saturday morning, Ford thanked Tory, whom he referred to as a friend, for his “many years of public service” and wished him “nothing but the best in the days, weeks and months ahead.”

“John will be remembered as a dedicated and hard-working mayor who served as a steady leader during the most difficult days of the pandemic,” Ford said. “He united Toronto behind an optimistic vision for the future and I will miss working with him to see it come to life.”

The Pandemic Puta used to work for the CPC until Scheer was voted leader, it appears she is well versed in politics, an excellent communicator and proficient at oral presentations.

I’m sure Emily Hillstrom wasn’t attracted to power, she looks like the kind of gal who regularly dates wrinkly-assed 68 year-olds like John Tory, right? #TOpoli #Toronto #onpoli https://t.co/0DMYeLYOo1

Under the City of Toronto Act, city council needs to pass a bylaw requiring a byelection to be held to fill the mayor's seat within 60 days meaning Torontonians could be going to the polls in early May. https://t.co/zSlUO4rQpc

Two kinds of rules govern city life: written and unwritten. The written kind lays out the rules in black and white. You can’t run a red light, throw your trash in the park or steal your neighbour’s lawn mower.

The second, unwritten kind is greyer – more shouldn’ts than can’ts. You shouldn’t take up two seats on a crowded bus or cut someone off in traffic. Put another way, you should treat those around you with at least a minimum of decency.

Toronto is a hateful town, lots of reasons why.

John Tory, a 68-year-old born-and-bred Torontonian and member of the city’s business and political elite, resigned as its mayor on Friday after admitting to an inappropriate relationship with a staffer.

Tory was born into a successful family with a major law firm, Torys, founded by his grandfather.

His father, John A. Tory, worked at the firm, but later moved on to work with the Thomson family to run their financial holding company. His father also served on the board of directors of Rogers Communications.

Did she land on her feet at MLSE after falling on her back at City Hall?

Enquiring minds want to know!

The secret trip to London story that got me mocked on radio by John Tory. It seems his advisor. Emily Hillstrom, joined him. She accompanied him on a mission to Europe months earlier.
