It was the first time Ford had spoken publicly about Tory since the mayor announced Friday night he would resign after the Star revealed he had an extramarital affair with an aide.
“If a lefty mayor gets in there, God help the people of Toronto,” said Ford.
“We saw it before ... taxes going through the roof ... out of control spending worrying about ... lining the pockets of city hall’s coffers,” he said.Ford said it was appropriate for Tory to remain at the helm as he tables his municipal budget Wednesday in the council changes. “Everyone has seen the good job Mayor Tory has done. The guy’s a relentless worker. I don’t think ... he sleeps. He’s up at 5 a.m. and the guy doesn’t stop till midnight.”
