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.
Russia’s plans to seize eastern Ukraine could take two years, says Wagner boss
The boss of the Russian mercenary Wagner group said it could take Russia two years to seize the entire east of Ukraine in a rare interview that suggests at least some key figures in Moscow are gearing up for a protracted conflict.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, who has emerged from the shadows to become a high-profile figure since the start of the war, suggested Russia’s focus was now on capturing the rest of the Donbas region it has not occupied since the start of the war nearly a year ago.
Doing so would take “about one and half to two more years of work”, the ally of president Vladimir Putin said. If the goal was to occupy all of Ukraine east of the Dnipro River, this would “take about three years”, he said.
