First mayoral debate for John Tory has him on the defensive

Four other candidates for Mayor of Toronto took aim at Tory's record and the city's crumbling infrastructure during the roundtable debate. Mark McAllister was there to watch the sparks fly.

Why doesn't JohnTory talk to the average person no phone number no emails returned and comments turned off?

The Federal government is dumping hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the GTA, they should be contributing far more towards creating housing for all of these new people. We are seeing increased homelessness and absurdly high rental costs due to the housing shortages.

The big smoke is now up in smoke . Conservative mayor under a conservative premier is a recipe for awful . I'll keep my travel dollars out of Toronto thanks .

How about cleaning up the streets and fixing the potholes in the road .

It's time to collect higher development fees from the condo builder's who are making a fortune and contributing far too little.

Mayor John Tory, stop telling people to poison my food. Go and learn how to repair desktop computer.

Tory is a woke mayor. Bending the knee to certain groups. Why was the Taste of Danforth shut down and the Pride Parade was good to go.

I hate this faux pretending like politics is not a full contact sport (i.e. having them sit around a table and "discuss" rather than debate). These issues impact people's lives, of course there's going to be conflict and butting heads. This format really helped Tory as none of the zingers landed by Tory's opponents looked like zingers because of the format. Have them debate and use podium

Make blame big power have ones not have small ones they did more

Give City of Toronto employees back their jobs!!!! down with the vaccine mandates that’s why I voted for Sarah John Tory needs the 🥾🚪

In my experience, if you call 311, things get done. I use the city parks daily and I think Mr Tory is doing a fine job on that front.
I had to call the police when a crazy homeless guy tried to get into my car at Yonge and Eglinton, they caught him within an hour.
Though the police station is at the same intersection!

Also; the Sherman case is still unsolved. Bruce MacArthur could have been stopped by the 32end division, when a Bathurst and Finch victim of an early attack of his got away and called them.
Let’s not forget the 2018 Harrison family massacre.

So besides our police being inept, I think Mayor Tory is doing okay.

Most of the traffic in my commute is from the street car construction. We have been facing a decade of construction and we’re not even getting a subway extension for it.
To all of those councillors who fought Mayor Ford(RIP) tooth and nail on every front; he was warning us about today…

People, vote smart! The best choice is to vote for someone who has a platform that you agree with! Penalosa comes from a corrupted family in Colombia. Don't vote uninformed!
