The story, first reported by the Toronto Star, said that Tory had a relationship with a staffer who left his office sometime in 2021. “While I deeply regret having to step away from a job that I love, in a city I love even more, I believe in my heart it is best to fully commit myself to the work that is required to repair these most important relationships,” Tory said.

There is some inside information that it was a woman named Keerthana Rang (married to Clarington Councillor Lloyd).

Can't he have a private life? How his affair has affected his job?

Best Mayor Toronto ever had it’s okay for criminals to screw up again and again how about we look for the root cause 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good riddance. Long overdue.

Last appearance of Ford in main NP twitter. 10 days and counting. WeddingGate ?

what happened to social distancing he used to preach?

I don’t understand. This the norm in European countries.

No one is happier about this scandal than fordnation who now gets to stop talking about his tacky daughter’s wedding fundraiser.

Could be his wife’s demand.

Tory is definitely scared and made it clear the sex was consensual, BUT as Mayor he is a person in authority so this may not end well The Criminal Code says there is no consent when: the consent is a result of a someone abusing a position of trust, power or authority We'll see

Ford getting him out of the way

Who do you want as Toronto's next mayor? a Marxist? a Communist? a socialist? a woke left wing progressive? How about Mayor Wong Tam? I doubt any conservative will want to take on that hopeless job.

he was a useless piece of crap

The Disgraced good for nothing, man betrayed his family, the City and cost the taxpayers billions !! Likely join his buddy Ford now.!!!!

He is the definition of job in Canada

If JohnTory will screw his family imagine what he does to taxpayers. No wonder why the cityoftoronto is in shambles

🤦‍♂️

So now we need an investigation to see what else he was unethical about. Being unethical in one area of life is indicative of other unethical acts.

He’s no oil painting. Must be an opportunistic side chick.

Conservatives for you

When will these guys learn to love the one they’re with 🙄

Notice how it’s always the men that take the hit in these situations. Men are so weak that they can be targeted & set up for this to occur. Women must teach men to be stronger like they are. A school or something.

Geez Louise!

So what's he doing this to distract us from? Come on!

Tory offered position on Post Media Board if he distracts media from Ford for using his daughter as a Schill.

Next election - please no Fords nephews etc

Or more succinctly: Mayor John Tory, the mayor of Toronto, resigns as mayor, admits affair with mayor staffer, and will no longer act as mayor

Did he ignore the me movement warning?

Another conservative mayor leaves in disgrace

I hope his wife gets it all.

Looks like John Tory did a little bit too much Advanced polling before the election. He was really showing off his stimulus package

😂🤣😂🤣😂

Typical slime bag politician

Like everything else, let’s blame the petroleum companies for Tory’s indiscretions.

meh *what's those things that run from ships people don't leave lucrative positions without a real reason this one... is not this on the other hand

Always was a wanker but really bad for city

Covid is responsible for so much!

Loser who imposed lockdowns & mandates on the little people while he was out dickin’ around. Guess it’s ok for “important” people like him & not ok for us “regular”folk.He’s a hypocrite loser. don’t you dare go 2 your family’s house for Christmas!! but hey I’ll do my staff

Calgary's JyotiGondek next 🙏

So sad that he resinged nice man god bless you and your family sir

Well will you look at that. The sanctimonious holier than though mayor of Toronto who thought he was more righteous than people in Québec, sticking his nose in our business. The song « Goody Goody « comes to mind. Or Cell Block Tango , « he had it coming « .

For the purposes of this Act, a member has violated the conflict of interest act, when a member makes a decision or participates in appropriate act with the City Of Toronto Mayor John Tory sexually. The 31 year old female should be terminated, and John Tory should step down.

Thanks for JohnTory and fordnation Toronto is once again the laughing stock of the world. 😒🤦🏼‍♂️

Affairs happen. A shame he had to resign over it.

FilTProfBiker Was the affair with a male or female?

Shame,... he's a good fellow and the first professional Mayor that Toronto had for decades. Hopefully they can find another one quickly! His personal life is just that 'personal'....

👋👋

The same guy to talk rob ford down.. unbelievable. Karma is a bitch

No better than Rob Ford?

He went woke.

The affair’s out and his tenure as mayor is over. Now comes the news of a pending divorce for Tory and his wife

Good riddance Now do Ford and Trudeau next.

Rob Ford had enough to eat at home just saying

For perspective, this was John Tory during 2021.

🤣🤣🤣

Didn't have that on the bingo card today... wow!

To all my fans in Toronto, please don’t elect anymore mayors who will cater to the PC, Woke or SJW activists. Your city is turning into a San Francisco 2.0

Wow! An honest elected official.

Good riddance!!

Next up Doug Ford with his developer friends, they are all complicit..

Yet jr is still around 🤔

What for? Politicians have affairs all the time. It might be a sin according to some but it's not a crime. Heck, Clinton survived the Lewinsky affair.

I admit. I didn’t see this coming.

!

Wow! Story just broke and he resigned in 10 mins? There’s a bigger story here. Underage? Boy?

Hard to figure inasmuch as the affair was obviously *masked*. You'd think that would give him a pass amongst the mask lovers.

I guess this makes him incompetent as mayor? I don't get it but OK.

Oh no, he got screwed out of his job. 😂

Seriously…..wtf kind of tree hugger will we get now….ffs JohnTory wtg

This is your chance Pfizer salesmen! Now you can apply to be the mayor of Canada's biggest dump.

For fuck sakes John

Another politicians can’t control his self and bites the dust of his position.

Wtf
