While former mayor John Tory may still be mulling a bid to get his old job back in next year’s municipal election, his successor at Toronto city hall is already bracing for a fight. Over the last few months, Mayor Olivia Chow and her allies on Toronto council have taken every opportunity to poke holes in Tory’s record.
The strategy seems designed as a pre-emptive counter to the notion that Tory was a popular and effective mayor brought down only by a personal scandal, after the Star reported about an inappropriate relationship with a mayoral staffer. Chow’s team is suggesting there’s a lot more to the Tory story.
Nothing will save Chow, well the stupidity of Toronto voters might.
