‘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?
