Caught in a Bad Romance: Toronto Mayor Resigns Over Affair With Staffer
Despite his resignation, John Tory is not leaving politics completely. The outgoing mayor will work with his successor to assure an orderly transition.
Toronto Mayor John Tory has resigned over an affair with a staffer.
The relationship began during the COVID-19 pandemic and ended earlier this year by mutual agreement, he told reporters during a presser. The identity of his
paramour has not been revealed, however, according to media reports, she is in her 30s and no longer works in the city administration.
The conservative politican has apologized to his family and city residents whom he says he let down.
"I am deeply sorry, and I apologize unreservedly to the people of Toronto, and to all of those hurt by my actions. Most of all, I apologize to my wife, Barb and to my family who I've let down more than anyone else," he said.
He dubbed his affair a "
serious error in judgment," trying to explain it by saying that he and his wife spent a lot of time apart during the pandemic.
"It came at a time when Barb, my wife of 40-plus years, and I were enduring many lengthy periods apart while I carried out my responsibilities during the pandemic."
