TORONTO - John Tory had absorbed the verbal jabs and endured the criticism of his record as his rivals at this week’s mayoral debate slammed his eight-year tenure leading Canada’s most populous city.
“There’s no replacement for experience,” the veteran politician said in an interview. “I have experience in dealing with the other governments ... and getting deals with them and dealing with the people involved.” “Mr. Tory has, I think, a record of clinging to the middle,” said Myer Siemiatycki, professor emeritus at Toronto Metropolitan University who studies municipal politics.The campaign has often returned to the three issues of transit, housing and affordability.
“There are some opportunities, perhaps, to use some of the enhanced authorities that have been given to the mayor,” he said. “But I still think you’re gonna have to have, on most of this, the consensus of the council, which I think we’re gonna get.”He’s also said he’ll never support cuts to police service funding. And he points to his leadership through the pandemic as well as the construction of supportive housing when asked about the legacy of his first two terms.
Toronto’s parks and recreation facilities are, on average, 40 years or older, leading to breakdowns and facility closures, budget documents say. The backlog in upkeep costs for that infrastructure has ballooned to over $600 million.
