The carnage on Yonge St., was a reminder that we are capable of “great bravery,” says Mayor John Tory, as political leaders everywhere offered condolences to Toronto. Tory praised the police, first responders and city staff for their response in a speech at a special council meeting Tuesday morning. “I know that I speak on behalf of all of the members of city council and city staff when I say that our hearts are with all of those affected,” Tory said. “Prince Philip and I join all Canadians in expressing our sadness following the terrible tragedy that occurred in Toronto yesterday,” the statement said. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.” With files from Rob Benzie, Jennifer Pagliaro and The Canadian Press
