John Tory releases emotional letter before stepping down as Mayor of Toronto Toronto Mayor JohnTory
I've had a number of jobs in my life. I've been a lawyer, a political advisor, a corporate executive, a broadcaster, and the commissioner of a professional sports league.
When I became Mayor, the city was struggling. We were deeply divided, downtown versus suburbs, left versus right, and on it went. The City government was in turmoil. The great hopes and dreams we had for our city were stalled. I felt I could help and I offered to serve with calmness and commitment. To work hard. And to work together. That’s the Toronto way. That’s what makes being Mayor of this city the best job anyone could have. And it’s why it breaks my heart to leave. But leaving was the right thing to do, hard as it may be.
That the government is back in the business of getting housing built so that people can afford a decent place to live.
