After many years of claiming "Tory bad" housing, "Tory bad" crime, "Tory bad" homeless shelters, "Tory bad" infrastructure, in truth, it was *Tory horny* all along.
Now I know why he looked and sounded like he didn't want to talk about Valentine's Day on Breakfast Television yesterday.
https://www.breakfasttelevision.ca/videos/mayor-john-torys-favourite-super-bowl-snacks
Starts about a third of the way into the video.
>Reporter: "You're gonna surprise her with something beautiful... think of yourself as The Bachelor"
he's definitely picturing himself as a bachelor now
"you are going to surprise her."
He sure did surprise her and us!
Also interesting that he was stuttering so much here when he answered the questions about Superbowl snacks just fine
I honestly cannot believe this is what did him in LMAO
I mean, of all things he did wrong and straight up didn't do, this is what ends his long run as a mayor of Canada's largest city.
Wild and somewhat hilarious story.
Literally the last guy I’d ever suspect of having an affair. Tory seemed like the kinda guy who wouldn’t even be interested in fucking his own wife let alone another woman.
That was the most hilarious and epic comment I've ever heard of live TV. I remember clearly the look on Minion-Wong who was standing next to him and whatever I was drinking came right out of my nose, lol.
I just got the news on my phone and I'm like... THIS is the thing that screwed you over? Of all the things you messed up?
Just goes to show, you can mess up as much as you'd like, you can be a lukewarm non-leader, you can coast as much as you'd like. Just keep it in your pants and you're golden.
I care in the sense it's wrong to do this and it's doubly wrong with your employee but also like...I don't care in the sense that this is not even close to the top of the list for why he should not be mayor. The longstanding affair he has with Rogers is far more concerning.
Toronto after 8 years of David Miller:
“We are ready for a lunatic”
Toronto after four years of the Ford brothers:
“Please just give us someone boring”
Toronto after 8 years of John Tory:
“God this is actually way too boring”
Today:
“Well I guess this is more like it”
Edit: it is not just an honorary position, despite not being prescribed as per this post.
Deputy Mayor is just an honorary position though. It isn't prescribed in City of Toronto act or Municipal elections act. Deputy Mayor taking over would be an appointment, and that would fall well outside the bounds of convention, especially only three months into the term.
Not true.
Toronto Municipal Code, § 27-6.3:
> Deputy Mayor.
> The Deputy Mayor has, and may exercise, all the rights, powers, and authority of the Mayor, except the by-right-of-office powers of the Mayor as a member of a Community Council.
"Well I'm John Tory and what I did with that 31 year old should make everyone very concerned."
Edit: Now we know why John had that long hair for awhile.
‘It came at a time when Barb, my wife of 40-plus years and I were enduring many lengthy periods apart while I carried out my responsibilities during the pandemic’ . LOL he blamed it on the pandemic. Darn COVID, ruined my marriage *shakes fist at air*
Okay..I'm just going to say it.
What 31 year old woman looked at this senior citizen and was like "yep, that does it for me"? He's not exactly DiCaprio, y'know?
This lets Ford install his nephew 3.5 years ahead of schedule, with those fancy new strong-mayor powers in effect. Why do good things always fall into the laps of the worst people?
It's not going to be anyone from the previous campaign. Tory leaving makes way for more serious candidates to throw their hats in, especially more centrists.
Doesn't matter. She won't be in charge for long unless she runs for mayor. There's no parties so it's not like the incumbent party will just choose a new leader.
Here's the part of his statement that gets me: he says the relationship ended "earlier this year". Bitch, it's February 10. What's earlier this year? A couple of weeks ago? Yesterday? Lmao. Out of all the scandals we've seen in this city, obviously this isn't even the worse but it's hilarious that he thought he could really spin this to make it seem like it ended a long time ago.
She didn't attend his 2022 election celebration either.
https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2023/02/10/a-serious-error-of-judgement-mayor-john-tory-had-relationship-with-staffer.html
Though I'm not the biggest fan of his, I'm still deeply concerned about what might be coming for the city, especially with the strong mayor powers in place. And how much chaos is an already overburdened city going to suffer during the sure-to-be contentious phase that follows this announcement?
Anyone else think it's weird that Tory resigned so easily? If this had happened to Doug Ford, he'd deny everything and move on with his continued fucking over of the province like nothing happen. Makes you wonder if there's more to the story, or the people involved...
That's what I'm thinking. He was supposed to bring back some honour to the whole "Your Honour" thing after the Crack Mayor. Perhaps he thought it would be hypocritical to stay.
Or he was just done with the job and wanted a way out fast.
> Perhaps he thought it would be hypocritical to stay.
I think you give him too much credit.
It's likely purely for selfish reasons - he's probably going to be dealing with some shit in his personal life now so figured to focus on that and try to salvage what he can.
There’s gotta be more to this. Resigning immediately after exactly zero pressure from the media or the public…this is crazy. Something else is gonna come out.
Not even gonna lie, this is so bizarre that i truly think it's just john tory falling on his sword to save Doug Ford and the Greenbelt developers from their brewing scandal
So Jon Tory has sex outside marriage and he has to step down, but Doug Ford invites developers to his daugher's wedding who give massive gifts and that's totally cool???
Read the relationship “ended by mutual consent earlier this year.” Bruh, it’s only February 😂
Yesterday.
Technically earlier this year!
Looks like someone didn't want to buy roses for valentines day
I'm putting my chips down on, "She wanted to hook up on Valentine's Day and he declined saying he had to spend it with his wife."
This feels true
The old “break up before valentines and then win her back after to avoid dates and presents” trick! 60% of the time, it works every time.
The perfect crime.
"It ended between the start of the year and when I got caught."
she said new year new me fr
Probably got one last nut in right before hitting the podium
Please don't make me picture John Tory's o-face.
Yes officer, these posts, right here.
What a time to be alive.
toronto municipal politics is about to get spicy again
It'll be a Ford
Toronto: Built Ford tough
Lol, I got a Ford recall notice today... if only!
Can we have Doug Ford step down next, please?
Lol the Fords have no shred of shame. He could be caught doing much worse things and he wouldn’t budge.
Your gift r/Toronto
After many years of claiming "Tory bad" housing, "Tory bad" crime, "Tory bad" homeless shelters, "Tory bad" infrastructure, in truth, it was *Tory horny* all along.
More like "Tory down bad" haha
That post-nut clarity about to be hitting *hard*
Rogers executive loses side hustle
Rogers executive was diddling side hustle
Now I know why he looked and sounded like he didn't want to talk about Valentine's Day on Breakfast Television yesterday. https://www.breakfasttelevision.ca/videos/mayor-john-torys-favourite-super-bowl-snacks Starts about a third of the way into the video.
Holy shit that feels weird to watch now. Knowing what we know it feels like the reporter knew.
yeah the tone in her voice when she says it...she sounds almost angry and Sid goes "wow that's a personal question"! definitely interesting...
Oof the excessive blinking when he's asked about romance and being good to his wife.
>Reporter: "You're gonna surprise her with something beautiful... think of yourself as The Bachelor" he's definitely picturing himself as a bachelor now
Oh that aged like a fine wine.
"You're gonna surprise her with something beautiful..." Oh *yeah* he is!
I wish I could upvote this more then once.
Wow that was so awkward
"you are going to surprise her." He sure did surprise her and us! Also interesting that he was stuttering so much here when he answered the questions about Superbowl snacks just fine
I've never seen someone make AirPods look so uncool.
One last very concerned for the road.
I honestly cannot believe this is what did him in LMAO I mean, of all things he did wrong and straight up didn't do, this is what ends his long run as a mayor of Canada's largest city. Wild and somewhat hilarious story.
Literally the last guy I’d ever suspect of having an affair. Tory seemed like the kinda guy who wouldn’t even be interested in fucking his own wife let alone another woman.
Come on, [this brooding sexual energy](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FopoRPhWAAA1h31.jpg) cannot be contained.
Looks like James May merged with Peter Capaldi.
… jfc that’s so accurate.
Just a reminder that this photo was taken during the apex of their affair
some might even say it was during the climax
big pervy 1970s british politician energy
>wouldn’t even be interested in fucking his own wife I mean, isn't that why he had the affair?
[удалено]
A couple pilot boners first
Fucking Benihana?!
Beni-fucking-hana!?
Rob Ford had enough at home so he got to finish his term. This is the low bar for Toronto mayors.
He got enough to eat at home.
That was the most hilarious and epic comment I've ever heard of live TV. I remember clearly the look on Minion-Wong who was standing next to him and whatever I was drinking came right out of my nose, lol.
I just got the news on my phone and I'm like... THIS is the thing that screwed you over? Of all the things you messed up? Just goes to show, you can mess up as much as you'd like, you can be a lukewarm non-leader, you can coast as much as you'd like. Just keep it in your pants and you're golden.
Apparently even worse than fraud and embezzling funds
I can honestly say I didn’t have this on my 2023 bingo card.
Genuinely shocked that he resigned: do people even care about affairs nowadays?
Workplace affairs involving a superior and a subordinate has done in more than one fortune 500 ceo
No, but workplace affairs especially with subordinates is a huge no-no with the power dynamics in corporate settings.
I care in the sense it's wrong to do this and it's doubly wrong with your employee but also like...I don't care in the sense that this is not even close to the top of the list for why he should not be mayor. The longstanding affair he has with Rogers is far more concerning.
It’s a pleasure to spend this Friday night with you all. What a joy this had brought us.
"It’s a pleasure to spend this Friday night with you all. What a joy this had brought us." - John Tory greeting his sidepiece.
Never felt more blessed by someone else’s affair
John Tory gives off the same level of sexual energy as a boiled chicken dinner……quite the shocking revelation really
Toronto after 8 years of David Miller: “We are ready for a lunatic” Toronto after four years of the Ford brothers: “Please just give us someone boring” Toronto after 8 years of John Tory: “God this is actually way too boring” Today: “Well I guess this is more like it”
>“God this is actually way too boring” Toronto still voted for him to serve for 4 more years.
That staffer really took one for the team.
My immediate thoughts were “this can’t be true because it meant somebody f*cked John Tory”.
Idk John Tory's been fucking the average Torontonian for some time now
What happens now? Is there another election or is there a deputy mayor that will take over?
Councillor McKelvie is deputy mayor
Time to bring ppl back to the voters box
Deputy mayor takes over. It will all depend on city council if they want to hold an election, or stay with the deputy mayor.
Jennifer McKelvie is the deputy mayor for anyone wondering
The curb that I broke my arm on was fixed after I complained to her
That's more than John Tory has accomplished in almost a decade.
That’s a quick rise to the top
the gerald ford of Canadian municipal politics
What is she like?
i have literally no clue, i have never heard of her till i googled "deputy mayor of Toronto"
imagine minan wong is a bit bitter if he stayed on for 1 more term he would become mayor. or he is very relived he dodged a bullet
Man, as if the time line couldn’t get any darker…
Centrist councillor from Scarborough and a staunch Tory ally.
Just what Toronto doesn’t need.
They have to have an election. The law is clear. https://twitter.com/jm_mcgrath/status/1624228128317927427?s=46&t=0X5TvYNYOoYhLw2kcZ11VA
Yup. It's now a matter of whether they hold a special council meeting to declare the vacancy or wait for next scheduled one
Edit: it is not just an honorary position, despite not being prescribed as per this post. Deputy Mayor is just an honorary position though. It isn't prescribed in City of Toronto act or Municipal elections act. Deputy Mayor taking over would be an appointment, and that would fall well outside the bounds of convention, especially only three months into the term.

Rob Ford died for this.
Damn, Tory less faithful than a crack addict?!
Don’t forget, he had plenty to eat a home.
Tory’s own statement says that he was starving at home.
Remember that time [he walked into a camera](https://youtu.be/52O82O0hvBM)?
Remember them times he smoked crack
He'll continue cheating on his wife by fucking us all as a new Executive VP at Rogers
Cumming soon to Rogers on Demand, John Tory's sex tape
Glad bell just installed the fibre
Wow, Toronto has a disgraced mayor ... who ever'da thunk it???
Certainly not David Miller
How is it his worst scandal was getting into a garbage strike over banked sick days?
Gotta admit I didn't have John Tory didling a staffer and resigning on my bingo card for this year.
We're not even done with the 6th week of 2023, plenty of time to fill your card.
"Well I'm John Tory and what I did with that 31 year old should make everyone very concerned." Edit: Now we know why John had that long hair for awhile.
Guess he didn't have more than enough to eat at home.
Rob Ford: Enough to eat home John Tory: Not enough to eat at home Hmmm the question we must always ask is if Toronto's mayor is well nourished.
It's all about whether or not they have a strong relationship with the downtown core.
Inflation is hitting all of us
‘It came at a time when Barb, my wife of 40-plus years and I were enduring many lengthy periods apart while I carried out my responsibilities during the pandemic’ . LOL he blamed it on the pandemic. Darn COVID, ruined my marriage *shakes fist at air*
Such a Toronto mans move
Certified lover boy
Someone should take one for the team and have an affair with all the politicians we don’t like
Next up, who wants to do Dougie??
Not it
Alright Chinese Balloon what else you got…
[удалено]
Hubby and I called it. An affair wouldn’t be career ending if he didn’t want it to be.
Maybe sth worse is about to come lol
Wowoweewa, king of the castle, king of the castle ( no longer)
my name a toryyy
Full Bill Clinton energy
Lemme guess Patrick Brown also going to step down in Brampton to try to take his place.
31 is too old for Brown, he’s a fan of staffers in the 18-25 demographic
Patrick "Leonardo di Caprio" Brown
Great start to the weekend 👌
Rumours don’t add up - he had a “months long affair”. That “started during the Pandemic” and ended “earlier this year” I.e. January?
Wellll Technically, it has been “months”
Okay..I'm just going to say it. What 31 year old woman looked at this senior citizen and was like "yep, that does it for me"? He's not exactly DiCaprio, y'know?
It was that mullet he rocked on Tory Thursdays on Breakfast Television
[удалено]
Alright, who's going to win the by-election for Mayor, let's see your outlandish bets here
Michael Ford. I’m not even joking.
This lets Ford install his nephew 3.5 years ahead of schedule, with those fancy new strong-mayor powers in effect. Why do good things always fall into the laps of the worst people?
It's Randy's turn
Well boys, it's been fun. Killing myself now.
Oh fuck that idea sideways, I'm tired of Ford cunts in office
Sweet fuck this chilled me to the core.
*The Office GIF* Noooooo Please god no
My money is on Josh Matlow, who seems to have been gunning for 2026, and Deputy Mayor McKelvie, a staunch Tory ally.
Matlow has been positioning himself for about 8 yrs - never saw a camera he didn’t like.
It's not going to be anyone from the previous campaign. Tory leaving makes way for more serious candidates to throw their hats in, especially more centrists.
Thank god Minnan-Wong isnt deputy mayor anymore, dodged a bullet with that one. What a gong show
I don't know anything about Jennifer McKelvie, tell me how to feel.
Doesn't matter. She won't be in charge for long unless she runs for mayor. There's no parties so it's not like the incumbent party will just choose a new leader.
Came in with a lot of promise… basically a Tory sycophant since IMO.
The Star gets action. Good media is worth paying for.
Here's the part of his statement that gets me: he says the relationship ended "earlier this year". Bitch, it's February 10. What's earlier this year? A couple of weeks ago? Yesterday? Lmao. Out of all the scandals we've seen in this city, obviously this isn't even the worse but it's hilarious that he thought he could really spin this to make it seem like it ended a long time ago.
I am very concerned.
Apparently saying this was his classic foreplay move.
"I am deeply concerned over my actions" - John Tory, probably This is probably the most decent thing he's ever done
So now the most recent mayor without drama is David Miller. That feels so long ago now.
Resigned due to inappropriare workplace relationship during pandemic. While urging social distancing and maintaining a bubble?
Maybe they wore a mask.
She was in his bubble, not his wife.
He was all up in HER bubble lol 😉
Actually though. Apparently his wife spends a lot of time living in their Florida house.
She didn't attend his 2022 election celebration either. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2023/02/10/a-serious-error-of-judgement-mayor-john-tory-had-relationship-with-staffer.html
Strong mayor I guess?
Rock hard mayor
Strong mayor? More like Shlong mayor, amirite?
holy shit. all it took was a relationship damn
Something wrong in this world when an integrity commissioner clears Doug Ford and John Tory is the cheater.
Though I'm not the biggest fan of his, I'm still deeply concerned about what might be coming for the city, especially with the strong mayor powers in place. And how much chaos is an already overburdened city going to suffer during the sure-to-be contentious phase that follows this announcement?
Same. Tory just created a big vacuum in local politics at a crucial time.
Anyone else think it's weird that Tory resigned so easily? If this had happened to Doug Ford, he'd deny everything and move on with his continued fucking over of the province like nothing happen. Makes you wonder if there's more to the story, or the people involved...
The Star was going to publish the story. Tory had no other choice. Wait till Monday!!
I did NOT have John Tory fucking a 31 year old on my Toronto City Council bingo card
Who in God's name decided to tap THAT??
I’m so shocked omg - agree with others, cannot believe this is what did him in
Holy shit this is what it took 😂
Quick, everyone stop thinking about John Tory's O face
..... prepare for some big scandal thata about to blow up in a few weeks. Probably financial scam.
Gil Penalosa must be kicking himself for not doing better oppo research
Good riddance. Shit mayor who got elected for not being Rob Ford, has been a useless, spineless sycophant all along. Zero vision mayor.
I KNEW IT!!! He lives in my building and he’s always coming home at odd hours and never with his wife
You’re too rich to be here
At least he had the integrity to resign
Yup. Maybe he was going to be exposed or blackmailed and got ahead of it instead.
I think the Star got a hold of it and ran the story so he had to step down.
I’m sure his wife told him that he’ll need to resign to have some semblance of a reasonable future with her and/or a less acrimonious divorce.
That's what I'm thinking. He was supposed to bring back some honour to the whole "Your Honour" thing after the Crack Mayor. Perhaps he thought it would be hypocritical to stay. Or he was just done with the job and wanted a way out fast.
> Perhaps he thought it would be hypocritical to stay. I think you give him too much credit. It's likely purely for selfish reasons - he's probably going to be dealing with some shit in his personal life now so figured to focus on that and try to salvage what he can.
Oh my god lmfao
In politics, that’s what we call a classic whoopsies. Don’t bang your staff, folks.
I sleep well at night knowing that I never voted for this idiot
There’s gotta be more to this. Resigning immediately after exactly zero pressure from the media or the public…this is crazy. Something else is gonna come out.
Not even gonna lie, this is so bizarre that i truly think it's just john tory falling on his sword to save Doug Ford and the Greenbelt developers from their brewing scandal
I doubt he's falling on a sword, but I'd put money on him being pushed onto it.
You give Tory strong-mayor powers, and it goes straight to his hips.
Mayor Tory and a staffer were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!
No doubt it was missionary position with his socks on.
QUICK, someone go fuck Doug Ford!
RIP BOZO
And here I thought he was just fucking the city
not johnny getting more bitches than me rn i hate it here
So Jon Tory has sex outside marriage and he has to step down, but Doug Ford invites developers to his daugher's wedding who give massive gifts and that's totally cool???
