Mayor John Tory, re-elected last month promising to keep a lid on taxes, is now warning of big tax hikes and deep service cuts unless Queen’s Park and Ottawa rescue Toronto’s pandemic-ravaged finances.
Tory on Thursday released a letter to Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland saying, after months of discussions, he needs commitments for hundreds of millions of dollars in bailout funds by Nov. 30.
