He should resign! If this was Rob or Doug Ford would everyone be so forgiving? Everyone followed Rob around when he was mayor and the poor guy had cancer. Why should people feel bad for Tory? He acted like this big family man, meanwhile he was having an affair. He only resigned because he was outed an hour before. Yet people are sad that he’s resigning and are saying that he shouldn’t? Yes he should!
The Toronto Star had published it in the on-line newspaper - 1 hour later, Tory decided to come clean. No, he wasn't being 'honest' - he'd already been outed. The big question is who tipped the Star off? I don't know why such men think their affair is such a big secret when it's with office personnel. I guarantee that at least one person in his office - if not everyone - knew damm well.
Could be Emily Hillstrom tipped the media because that generation don’t care or feel shame. It’s possible the relationship didn’t end well and that is how she got back at him.
Well, I'd say it's the staffer that tipped them off, forcing Tory to divorce his wife and marry her officially. But that could just be me being a cynic.
@@TheBohemianStyle But Tory has just helped her get the "director" job at Maple Leaf Hockey. I think Mrs. Tory (or someone close to her) is the informer.
The Affair was going on since the start of covid 19 , 3 years ago, and continued untill 2 months ago , a trip to New York and 1 other trip which his mistress planned in the name of business proved to be romantic for the Mayor and her. Sympathys to his devoted wife of 45 years and his children .
Please Tory, just leave....don't draw this out and prevent this from becoming a circus. How do you have the right to vote on a budget that you won't be around to deliver....do you think that is ethical?
John Tory is not the only one at fault. The mistress is just as happy to have an affair with John Tory for all the benefits it brings to her, such as, quick promotions, power in office over the rest of the staff, travel, entertainment, 5 star restaurants, shopping, etc. If you outed John Tory, you should also “out” the mistress! Name her, I dare say! -Ava
Just so that we're clear if people are questioning morals here...Attending the mayoral office intoxicated after hours to snort crack off your desk is OK, but having an affair with a 33yr old intern is a resigning offence. Got it.
its called the court of public oppinion. if he cheats on his wife, he will have no problem cheating the public taxpayer, simple like that !!!! your just sad its a liberal that got caught!!!! deal withit snowflake!
Tory always portrayed himself as an upright and honest man as Mayor. This made the affair so much more shocking. The incongruity between his public image and the private extramarital affair with a staffer gave him no choice but to resign.
Resigning to keep his benefits and pension package... Making deals. Should have been fired with cause. Affair during lock downs nonetheless while he fired 100s over a personal/individual medical decision...hope he was wearing his mask during those naughty interactions!
Toronto people should not accept John Tory’s resignation. Still have time to decline his resignation. What happened to him is his personal matter not a public one. After all he was elected.
Office romance and age-gap relationships are not uncommon these days. If John Tory is separated from his wife, it is NONE of our business. If he decides to start seeing someone else, that is NONE of our business either. My instinct tells me that there are people in the shadows who would like to see his reputation destroyed, hence, all of this media attention.
Last part of the video pretty much confirms it. Tory didn't want a circus & most likely there is much more to the affair-so he resigned to avoid all that.
Tory's supporters were on TV saying he shouldn't resign and he seems to be waffling about it. Bear in mind that cheaters don't begin in their late 60's - I'm waiting for the birds to begin to sing.

But the collateral stress for years was evident (the one teller KNEW she'd never be called out; the other made a lot of mistakes, and back in those days my wife had to unravel them at days' end to get balances correct for the day. You didn't leave until that happened.

No one is stunned with the resignation. What Tory should do is keep his word and resign, but he never does and Toronto has perished under his watch with record crime sprees.
Don’t think he’s had an affair, I think there’s something a lot more serious. Lots of people have had affairs and they didn’t resign, look at Bill Clinton. Let’s hope the people of Toronto will pick someone better, and not a wokester. Anyway, he wasn’t a very good mayor, let’s hope the next one’s a lot more like Mel Lastman.

@@MacacoDeLaMadrugada If it was something more than extramarital affair, they wouldn't have had to look into the provisions in code of conduct for Toronto city council members. The opposition would troll him even harder. However, manager-subordinate conflict became the main issue here. 🤔The star even worried John Tory would retract his resignation yesterday...
@@rayray8687 He won 3 straight elections, yes, that he did. He wasn’t a terrible mayor but he wasn’t very good either. The reason he won the first was because his 2 opponents, Doug Ford carried a lot of baggage from his brother and Olivia Chow wasn’t a good choice. Didn’t really have a strong opponent in either of his re-election bids. So he won 3, mainly due to lack of competition
He should be gone. He is supposed to represent the public and be a person of ethics. If the Leaders that are chosen to lead Don,t do it how and why should you expect it from the general public. He did wrong it,s time to leave.
I think I know, like, one person male or female over the age of 50 who hasn’t either had an affair or changed partners, lol. Didn’t affect their work ethic or job performances one bit.
Office affairs are not new, nor are they comfortable for everyone else in the office. Seriously, Canadians and Canadians press need to FOCUS on the REAL issues. THIS IS NOT NEWS WORTHY. MOVE ON.
I am more curious about the gold digger lady. She was 28 when the affair started, and Tory was 66 years old. Interestingly she could also find another job right away - most likely with Tory's help.
Hello Nadine! The mayor position requires a person who can be a good role model, incl integrity, professionalism. This is not a one time issue. went on for months. Not surprised with the news. Never voted for someone like this. If a person thinks only for the corporation, mainly power, money, greed, the person can't be a good mayor, politician for any place. Power, fame, money exarcebates one's issues if the person is not grounded, hasn't done personal development work. The issues of lust, greed, inconsideration, selfishness will be exposed over time. Even risking one's health, spouse's health. karma. Olivia Chow is not perfect but Olivia would have done the job 10 or 100 times better. Unfortunately many voters in Toronto haven't done their work. Still carry racist, sexist ignorance. They get what they voted for! omment
This dude is soo proud about this. Sorry dude. It’s Tory’s business. He is correct- his marriage and it ending none of your business. She was in her 30’s - you make it seem like omg she was really young. Must be nice to be prefect.
3:05 It is an issue because he had an affair with a staff member. In a situation like this, it can be seen as undue influence as a junior staff member could feel that he/she wouldn't be promoted, receive a raise, etc. if the say no.
Over the course of my single life working in administration at two universities, I had a few confrontations with men in powerful positions making overtures to me. Mostly married with children. Although they were attractive to me, without exception, I found their behaviour to be disgusting. I was pretty attractive but I was not flirtatious in any way. I'm sure they scored because they were all incredibly charismatic. But I believed with great conviction that relationships with such men was WRONG. There is no wiggle room here. They were both in violation of office protocol. The woman involved was really stupid to think Tory and her could get away with it in the glass house that is City Hall. He now rivals Rob Ford as a scumbag Mayor. Very humiliating for Torontonians.
@@Strawberryknight I'd LOVE to hear what her former co-workers thought of her behaviour and how/if it impacted THEM and getting their job done. I dealt with this years ago: the ones jumping into bed were the FIRST ones to point the finger. It's an attitude.
@@Strawberryknight Which could have been her motivation from the get-go. Good times, good meals, good travel and a better job offer from someone with even more clout & money. Wouldn't be the first time in history and remember; she is in her thirties, not her tweens.
@@Strawberryknightexactly! Imagine having the mayor of Toronto as a reference. She hasn’t lost in any of this unless of course her identity is revealed
Media or no media it would have come out. Don’t blame the media for doing their job. Tory has no one to blame except himself. Without him there would have been no story.
His marriage is ending and he has an affair with an employee? Did she complain of some inappropriate harassment or is this just self-righteous journalism at work? Sounds more like a HR issue than a scandal.
John Tory's legacy whether he likes it or not is rising crime in the city especially on the TTC, a citywide Homelessness crisis, bothched proposals for Smart Track and a Rail Deck Park and his affair with a staffer younger than half his age. He is going to be remembered as a joke now like Rob Ford. If he could have just disciplined/kept his Johnson in his pants for another 3 years he would have been the longest serving elected Mayor in Toronto history and likely have buildings, schools, parks and streets named after him in the future. Now I doubt parents want their kids going to a school or playing in a park named after a man who cheated on his wife of 40 years and duped the voters into re-electing him while he was having an active affair during his 2022 re-election campaign.
I don’t know one thing about this mayor except for this affair. Was he effective in his job? In this day and age of total immoral life styles and perversion I hardly think that his behaviour, although I don’t condone it, is any worse than the actions of the Prime Minister of Canada. His appearances on drag queen tv adds are a disgrace for the world to see as if it was normal behaviour for a leader of a country. Shame and disgrace is what he has displayed around the world. So let’s see these reporters call him to account and demand his resignation. His behaviour goes far beyond an affair.
It's unprofessional office conduct, against city policy, a conflict of interest in the public workplace, and reveals dishonest characteristics of a leader who we should be trusting with the power we gave him. He was doing this for years. He blew it and he knows it.
It’s been happening all over the world by all sorts of people for ever…it has never stopped anyone from performing the duties of their job as far as I can remember. Much ado over nothing…there’s bigger news issues.
people are so stupid. destroy their life on an affair. you can't hide it when your a nobody, how did you think you were in the public shark tank. so tired of people lying all the time.
I think it's ridiculous poor guy. None of anybody's business except John Tory and family .. He is and has been an excellent Mayor. Its all for publicity.. You guys should be ashamed ...
If everyone in the workplace who had or are having affairs left the workforce, over half the workforce would be gone. No need to quit that’s between him and his wife. There’s a difference between an affair between two consenting adults and sexually harassement in the workplace.
OR if she's 19 and in her first pay check job, and he's over 40. Dealt with a guy like this who had the biggest turnover in a dept. across Canada. The suits HAD to know, and IF I was this kids' father???? He'd have had a visit to 'splain himself.
simple case of dereliction of duty. one can't be courting and f*cking at the work place, and doing your job at the same time, unless your job is courting and f&cking. his resignation should be refused, and then they both should be fired with no pension period.
Maybe the next mayor will be able to stay within a budget and stop begging for the rest of Ontario to pay for Toronto’s glorious amenities they always brag about. Live within your budget.
ok, peoples, this is politics: you're "estranged" and there's "another women" involved?? is this guy just plain thinking with his little head?? his political career riding on being ridden?? stupid is as stupid does.

I've dealt with that in biz. and union work. AND put a stop to it. What real men do is take your friend, mayor or not, for a little walk and "chit chat".
Let's hope Tory followed Tan's advise (which he touted)and used a mask during his affair
... and a glove.

No one is stunned with the resignation. What Tory should do is keep his word and resign, but he never does and Toronto has perished under his watch with record crime sprees.
John Tory and his Bimbo that now works out of MLSE cost Toronto millions. Thanks Tory
Don’t think he’s had an affair, I think there’s something a lot more serious. Lots of people have had affairs and they didn’t resign, look at Bill Clinton. Let’s hope the people of Toronto will pick someone better, and not a wokester. Anyway, he wasn’t a very good mayor, let’s hope the next one’s a lot more like Mel Lastman. It’s time for Trudeau to do the same thing
He was such a ‘terrible’ mayor he only won 3 straight elections in a row, lmao. Let’s get real here.
@@MacacoDeLaMadrugada If it was something more than extramarital affair, they wouldn't have had to look into the provisions in code of conduct for Toronto city council members. The opposition would troll him even harder. However, manager-subordinate conflict became the main issue here. 🤔The star even worried John Tory would retract his resignation yesterday...
You are joking. Mel Lastman... his wife was kleptomania. Bad Boys
@@rayray8687 He won 3 straight elections, yes, that he did. He wasn’t a terrible mayor but he wasn’t very good either. The reason he won the first was because his 2 opponents, Doug Ford carried a lot of baggage from his brother and Olivia Chow wasn’t a good choice. Didn’t really have a strong opponent in either of his re-election bids. So he won 3, mainly due to lack of competition
@@Strawberryknight Doesn’t matter, he was the best mayor Toronto ever had
He should be gone. He is supposed to represent the public and be a person of ethics. If the Leaders that are chosen to lead Don,t do it how and why should you expect it from the general public. He did wrong it,s time to leave.
A very disgusting & Pathetic situation 🙄
MR TORY your handsome young looking for your age guy no explanation is needed end of the queries WHY
I think I know, like, one person male or female over the age of 50 who hasn’t either had an affair or changed partners, lol. Didn’t affect their work ethic or job performances one bit.
Saw the comment and immediately thought,this has to be a female writing this....yup!
You are talking about your vagina again?
@@rayray8687 You need to spend time with a better group of people. It is the scummiest thing a person can do.
Office affairs are not new, nor are they comfortable for everyone else in the office. Seriously, Canadians and Canadians press need to FOCUS on the REAL issues. THIS IS NOT NEWS WORTHY. MOVE ON.
This is his private life and as long as it is not affecting his duties as mayor it is nobody's business.
What? Cheating is cheating!
You must be a friend of his
hahahaha. We have another cheater here! Condoning other cheaters. LOL
NO
Best news for Toronto is this guy resigning
This guy could let us know what’s what with Justin Trudeau. If this seemed important how important is it for the pm.
In this day and age, just apologize and you will be forgiven. No need to quit.
You mean the cancel culture era or is that over now?
Where the fuk are you living moron?
What? You’re joking, right?
I am more curious about the gold digger lady. She was 28 when the affair started, and Tory was 66 years old. Interestingly she could also find another job right away - most likely with Tory's help.
Emily hillstrom is the gold digger

Hello Nadine! The mayor position requires a person who can be a good role model, incl integrity, professionalism. This is not a one time issue. went on for months. Not surprised with the news. Never voted for someone like this. If a person thinks only for the corporation, mainly power, money, greed, the person can't be a good mayor, politician for any place. Power, fame, money exarcebates one's issues if the person is not grounded, hasn't done personal development work. The issues of lust, greed, inconsideration, selfishness will be exposed over time. Even risking one's health, spouse's health. karma. Olivia Chow is not perfect but Olivia would have done the job 10 or 100 times better. Unfortunately many voters in Toronto haven't done their work. Still carry racist, sexist ignorance. They get what they voted for!
omment
This dude is soo proud about this. Sorry dude. It’s Tory’s business. He is correct- his marriage and it ending none of your business. She was in her 30’s - you make it seem like omg she was really young. Must be nice to be prefect.
3:05 It is an issue because he had an affair with a staff member. In a situation like this, it can be seen as undue influence as a junior staff member could feel that he/she wouldn't be promoted, receive a raise, etc. if the say no.
Free love as long as he didn't use taxpayers money for his viagra.
😂🤣
Was this going on during covid lockdowns?
it started then, yes.
@@dfsengineer figures.
Yes
thats his excuse hahha
Over the course of my single life working in administration at two universities, I had a few confrontations with men in powerful positions making overtures to me. Mostly married with children. Although they were attractive to me, without exception, I found their behaviour to be disgusting. I was pretty attractive but I was not flirtatious in any way. I'm sure they scored because they were all incredibly charismatic. But I believed with great conviction that relationships with such men was WRONG. There is no wiggle room here. They were both in violation of office protocol. The woman involved was really stupid to think Tory and her could get away with it in the glass house that is City Hall. He now rivals Rob Ford as a scumbag Mayor. Very humiliating for Torontonians.
That woman you called stupid has secured a even better job after leaving the city office, with Tory's help.
@@Strawberryknight I'd LOVE to hear what her former co-workers thought of her behaviour and how/if it impacted THEM and getting their job done. I dealt with this years ago: the ones jumping into bed were the FIRST ones to point the finger. It's an attitude.
@@Strawberryknight Which could have been her motivation from the get-go. Good times, good meals, good travel and a better job offer from someone with even more clout & money. Wouldn't be the first time in history and remember; she is in her thirties, not her tweens.
@@Strawberryknightexactly! Imagine having the mayor of Toronto as a reference. She hasn’t lost in any of this unless of course her identity is revealed
What about the woman then. Just "stupid" or also a scumbag?
How does it feel to ruin someone?
Media or no media it would have come out. Don’t blame the media for doing their job. Tory has no one to blame except himself. Without him there would have been no story.
His marriage is ending and he has an affair with an employee? Did she complain of some inappropriate harassment or is this just self-righteous journalism at work? Sounds more like a HR issue than a scandal.
If his wife doesn’t want him, neither should anyone else. I wouldn’t serve him even a glass of water.
This doesn't really tell us who first revealed the affair.
Tory a joke
John Tory's legacy whether he likes it or not is rising crime in the city especially on the TTC, a citywide Homelessness crisis, bothched proposals for Smart Track and a Rail Deck Park and his affair with a staffer younger than half his age. He is going to be remembered as a joke now like Rob Ford. If he could have just disciplined/kept his Johnson in his pants for another 3 years he would have been the longest serving elected Mayor in Toronto history and likely have buildings, schools, parks and streets named after him in the future. Now I doubt parents want their kids going to a school or playing in a park named after a man who cheated on his wife of 40 years and duped the voters into re-electing him while he was having an active affair during his 2022 re-election campaign.
I don’t know one thing about this mayor except for this affair. Was he effective in his job? In this day and age of total immoral life styles and perversion I hardly think that his behaviour, although I don’t condone it, is any worse than the actions of the Prime Minister of Canada. His appearances on drag queen tv adds are a disgrace for the world to see as if it was normal behaviour for a leader of a country. Shame and disgrace is what he has displayed around the world. So let’s see these reporters call him to account and demand his resignation. His behaviour goes far beyond an affair.
Why is he still around the office?
Leave rhe man alone you're all need to get off your moral high ground
Oh really Karen. So you have no problem with a married man in position of power banging one of his employees, during The Wuhan Virus?
It's unprofessional office conduct, against city policy, a conflict of interest in the public workplace, and reveals dishonest characteristics of a leader who we should be trusting with the power we gave him. He was doing this for years. He blew it and he knows it.
It’s been happening all over the world by all sorts of people for ever…it has never stopped anyone from performing the duties of their job as far as I can remember. Much ado over nothing…there’s bigger news issues.
I think you cheat on your partner and date anyone at work. Am I right?
@@write2nick I wasn’t put on this earth to judge, how about you?
PS, my partners been dead 2 years, and I miss her terribly still.

100% true - it happens all walks of life and there could be more to this issue - good marriages don't walk away!
There is a word "integrity " in the dictionary.
Thousand homeless pp died in winter in TO shame on mayor like that
Go Leafs Go! Blow Emily Blow!
Me too is certainly not about people who meet and have an affair.
i dont think these me poo goofs know up from down etc.. they are simply happy to claim they are victims.. its their only way to get on tv i guess...
Guess Tory cannot afford a good nondisclosure agreement like Trudeau can.
I was never a fan of his.
I heard he was never a fan of you.
Amateur journalism at it's finest.
ill take an UNFAITHFUL TORY over any of his BELOW AVERAGE replacements
Oh, I'm pretty sure he'll get away with it. They all seem to nowadays. The question is, was there a balloon involved?
The media is pathetic .
Do one on Trudeau please.
people are so stupid. destroy their life on an affair. you can't hide it when your a nobody, how did you think you were in the public shark tank. so tired of people lying all the time.
I think it's ridiculous poor guy. None of anybody's business except John Tory and family .. He is and has been an excellent Mayor. Its all for publicity.. You guys should be ashamed ...
So they charge military people but he is allowed to do anything.
In the pandemic I was being BRUTALIZE and used as a GUINEA pig at one of the famous hospital in Toronto.
Why is she not named???
If everyone in the workplace who had or are having affairs left the workforce, over half the workforce would be gone. No need to quit that’s between him and his wife. There’s a difference between an affair between two consenting adults and sexually harassement in the workplace.
OR if she's 19 and in her first pay check job, and he's over 40. Dealt with a guy like this who had the biggest turnover in a dept. across Canada. The suits HAD to know, and IF I was this kids' father???? He'd have had a visit to 'splain himself.

What has this guy actually achieved for Toronto other than contracts to his corporate buddies?
well he went above and beyond for the covid cult and put Toronto through some of the longest lockdowns on the planet.
simple case of dereliction of duty. one can't be courting and f*cking at the work place, and doing your job at the same time, unless your job is courting and f&cking. his resignation should be refused, and then they both should be fired with no pension period.
Very disappointing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought he was the "cleanest" politician in Canada. But I still dont think he should resign.
how bout blackfaces 10 million dollar payout to his preteen student?
Maybe the next mayor will be able to stay within a budget and stop begging for the rest of Ontario to pay for Toronto’s glorious amenities they always brag about. Live within your budget.
ok, peoples, this is politics: you're "estranged" and there's "another women" involved?? is this guy just plain thinking with his little head?? his political career riding on being ridden?? stupid is as stupid does.
