'I am deeply sorry': WATCH John Tory's full statement as he resigns as mayor of Toronto
John Tory will step down as mayor of Toronto after having a relationship with a member of his office staff during the pandemic.
"I recognize that permitting this relationship to develop was a serious error in judgment on my part," Tory said. The relationship ended by mutual consent earlier this year, Tory said, and the employee had left city hall and secured another job elsewhere. The 68-year-old was first elected mayor in 2014, replacing the late Rob Ford, whose time in office was plagued with scandals. Tory would be re-elected in 2018 and 2022 and was set to become the city's longest-serving mayor had he finished the current term.
