Mayor John Tory is welcoming Toronto’s “fresh start” for relations with the Doug Ford provincial government, adding he had expected the bruising war for public opinion to continue. “I’m happy we’re going to have a fresh start and sit down together and find better ways we can do things together. That’s the beginning of a process that’s a big improvement,” over Ford’s previous retroactive imposition of $177.65 million in cuts now off the table, Tory said in an interview. Instead, the province has agreed to work together with municipal officials to find efficiencies in public health programs. “It shows that public pressure is working, but they need to be listening to transit riders as well,” said Pizey-Allen.
