Canada\u0027s biggest city prepares for the kind of political upheaval rarely seen over the past decade
Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus in the political science department at the University of Toronto, told the National Post that Tory’s resignation will indeed have ramifications.t’s significant in any municipality or in any any political system when someone steps down,” he said, pointing out that Toronto’s status as one of the world’s great cities elevates the tempo of the story.
As for the timing of Tory’s departure — in the midst of budget deliberations and Tory’s first term exercising the new “strong mayor” powers bestowed upon Toronto by the provincial government — Wiseman doesn’t think the resignation will have that much of an impact on day-to-day business at city hall.expect that a lot of people will look to the senior administrators of the city, who have been working closely with Tory and Tory had general support on council so I don’t think much will change.
City councillors spoken to by the National Post declined comment or didn’t reply to inquires, but the mayor-shaped vacuum at city hall is sparking some intense chatter.
