For example, Tory supported the building of a one-stop Scarborough subway in addition to his Smart Track stations in Scarborough — an overkill that does not best address the transit needs — specifically to short-circuit Ford’s “subways, subways, subways” mantra. Incumbent Tory was preparing to face a challenge from Doug Ford, the guy he beat in 2014. Mayor John Tory has no real challengers to his title, with a campaign coming this summer and a vote in October. Suddenly, Ford is on the verge of heading to Queen’s Park as premier and, by extension, Tory’s boss. To reclaim the moral authority he abandoned, Tory must act now and establish a City Vision, a beachhead from which Toronto can defend itself against the coming tumult from Queen’s Park.
