John Tory has cruised to a third term as Toronto's mayor, the CBC News decision desk projected Monday, as Canada's biggest city faces down an intractable ...

In the last term, Tory supported legalizing multi-tenant housing, sometimes called rooming houses, citywide — a bid that ultimately failed to gain enough support among councillors for Tory to force a vote. I talk to the people in the downtown and they say it is good for the suburbs. His commitment to fiscal austerity came under fire from some of his challengers during the campaign. Toronto is also facing a housing crisis that is driving many residents, particularly young families, from the city. Tory has repeatedly stressed that he prefers to build consensus with councillors and intends to use the new powers sparingly. His centrepiece promise from his 2014 campaign, a 53-kilometre rail line connecting Markham and Mississauga with downtown Toronto that he dubbed SmartTrack, was hypothetically supposed to be finished this year. I talk to the boomers and they say it is good for the young people. His political brand is built upon his reputation as a manager that puts a premium on stability and incremental change. He spent significant time campaigning with some members of that coalition facing close races, including Mark Grimes in Etobicoke-Lakeshore and Gary Crawford in Scarborough-Southwest. Penalosa looked on track to pick up about 18 per cent of the vote share. Tory, 68, beat out 30 other largely unknown candidates to hold on to the mayor's chair at city hall. Opponents noted the high cost of housing, aging infrastructure, overflowing garbage bins and shuttered parks.

John Tory has been re-elected to a third term and will now have a chance to become Toronto's longest serving mayor provided he remains in office for the ...

“We are going to work with the provincial and federal governments to keep getting the big things done,” Tory promised on Monday night. I love our city and I love working for the people of this city, that is why I ran for re-lection in the first place,” Tory told supporters during a victory party at the Fairmont Royal York on Monday night. “Together what we did is not that usual in this day and age. "One thing I heard (during the campaign) was that the city wasn't good for everyone. The overwhelming victory means that Tory will have an opportunity to surpass Art Eggleton as Toronto’s longest serving mayor. With 93 per cent of polls reporting Tory appears to have secured about 62 per cent of the vote, easily defeating urbanist Gil Penalosa who is currently in second with about 18 per cent of the vote.

Tory has defeated urbanist Gil Penalosa in a race that was never close. Tory's third term will put him on course to become Toronto's longest-serving mayor.

As he works to tackle Toronto’s challenges, Tory will have a suite of new tools at his disposal. First elected in 2014 and again in 2018, the end of Tory’s second term was dominated by COVID-19. But with the memory of those chaotic years fading, the challenges awaiting him in his third term already appear more daunting than anything he faced on previous election nights. As the loss was announced, some told the Star they had remained hopeful against the odds and at least felt, for a time, energized in the face of a bleak status quo. And that’s winning,” Penalosa said to applause after walking into the bar with his wife Claudia. Penalosa finished running through every ward in the city on Monday, a 262 kilometre odyssey. Meanwhile, housing costs continue to soar; some residents are leaving the city to find cheaper homes, while at-capacity shelters are turning people away. Tory has promised to use the new powers sparingly. In the end, his campaign failed to reach enough voters. After congratulating Tory, he wryly noted that “all my ideas are available” to him. Tory said he had asked the gathering be kept low-key to reflect the ongoing challenges Toronto is facing. In a victory speech that emphasized themes of optimism and unity, Tory thanked voters for giving him a “strong mandate” for the next four years, and said he was confident that under his “experienced leadership” the city would get through this period of post-pandemic uncertainty “and come out stronger the other side.”

Tory, whose slogan this time around was "working for you," will serve a third term as mayor of Canada's largest city, continuing his reign as Toronto's 65th mayor, much to the delight of those who voted for the status quo.

Il croit qu'il faut faire des efforts pour les retenir et en attirer d'autres. Le maire de Toronto, tout comme celui d’Ottawa, disposera sous peu de pouvoirs accrus accordés par le gouvernement Ford. Il a notamment proposé de consulter la population à propos de l’avenir de l’aéroport des îles au centre-ville après l’expiration du bail, en 2033, de revoir un coûteux projet de réfection d’autoroute à l’est du centre-ville et de créer un réseau de voies réservées pour des autobus rapides. Il pourra opposer son veto à des décisions du conseil municipal qui feraient obstacle à des priorités de la province, notamment en matière de logement. Élu une première fois en 2014, il a joué la carte de la stabilité et de l’expérience et a fait valoir sa capacité à établir des liens de collaboration avec le fédéral et la province. Il a promis de maintenir le cap et de garder les hausses de l’

Du côté du symbole, si l’homme de 68 ans mène à terme ce troisième mandat, il deviendrait le premier maire de l’histoire de Toronto à passer 12 ans à sa tête. Il s’agit de Gil Penalosa qui est parvenu au fil de la campagne à s’afficher comme l’unique principal rival. Ce qui n’a pas manqué d’ôter toute forme d’intrigue à cette course à la mairie.
