BREAKING: Mayor John Tory says he’ll use strong mayor powers to create new city division to speed housing development in Toronto
Tory made the announcement at city hall Wednesday morning, saying we’re in a “housing crisis” that is being felt acutely in Toronto.
The announcement comes two days after Tory pledged in his election night victory speech to move housing forward in his newly-won third term. Those powers give the mayor a veto to override council on matters of provincial priority, the ability to hire and fire department heads, appoint a city manager and to create new departments.
The mayor said that while it may well be that council agrees with the move, he is moving ahead with the new department and will use the strong mayor powers as necessary in its creation because he feels the matter is urgent.
