      He was the leader of the Ontario conservative party before he became mayor and it shows.

      Even for the so-called fiscal conservatives, Tory increased the city’s budget by 20% in the first year after taking over from Rob Ford. Decades of conservative mayors and premiers have done serious damage to the city.

    Lmao - John Tory needs to do us all a favour and go cheat on his wife again. He was a useless placeholder of a mayor, and a complete failure as leader of the provincial Tories. You’re yesterday’s tired news, John.

    Uh no thanks Mr. Tory. You took your face-saving exit, it’d be better if Toronto forgot about you and the decade the city spent falling behind under your rule.

    Why? He didn’t seem to want the job when he had it. His one and only “achievement” was keeping property tax increases low and that was at the expense of the quality of life in the city.
