BREAKING: Toronto Mayor John Tory is being investigated after a complaint filed with the city's integrity commissioner alleging that Tory had a conflict of interest when he voted to scale back the popular ActiveTO program, CBC Toronto has confirmed.

Complaint alleges John Tory had conflict of interest when he voted to scale back ActiveTO programThe complaint — filed by Activist Adam Chaleff — stems from Tory's connections with Rogers Communications Inc., the telecommunications giant that also owns the Toronto Blue Jays.

Tory is a Rogers shareholder and an adviser to the Rogers Control Trust — a paid role. The RCT is run by family and friends with voting rights; it was set up after Ted Rogers died.

Good

Would this also look at city contracts with Rogers as a service provider 🤔

Amazing how we elect these people for the people but when they don't do this we don't get rid of them or hold them accountable

Good riddance to ActiveTO. It was time for it to go. Tory did the right thing as mayor and listened to what his constituents wanted.

He was just following Doug Ford's orders because Doug is all about cars and traffic. Can't close those roads! Some of his 'base' might get upset!

Closing the lakeshore and congesting the whole damn city is BS. He for once did the right thing!

Awwwww ... somebody having a hissy fit, because Active TO was scaled back. You knew it would eventually happen as things got back to normal.

Don't forget to look into his employment with Pfizer as well.

This is why people in Toronto are hating on John Tory pretty hard right nowWith the provincial election now over and no recent announcements from the Ontario government about new highways, lockdowns or the like, it seems t... I hope when it's election time, voting information for the mayoral election like where and when to vote becomes widely available like it is provincially and federally. These mayor elections usually have a worse turnout than the provincial and federal ones. INCOMPETENT, EGOMANIAC, BIGGEST CONCERN IS MEDIA OPS. Torys daily thought.. While I can see downtown residents hate on Tory for ActiveTO and ticketing of cyclists in High Park, there needs to be a better understanding of how the suburban residents are taking all of this. Change in City Hall cannot be accomplished by downtown residents alone. TOpoli
