Toronto’s integrity commissioner to investigate Mayor John Tory over ties to Rogers
Tory has a long association with Rogers Communications, which owns the Blue Jays. Tory was an executive for Rogers in the 1990s and still sits on the advisory committee of the family trust that controls Rogers.I believe that Tory has tried to serve two masters at the same time — Rogers and the public interest — which is what the MCIA is setup to prevent. I say a judge must now determine whether and what consequences Tory should face for this apparent conflict of interest.
In a statement emailed to Global News on Friday, Lawvin Hadisi, a spokesperson for Tory’s office said the mayor is “fully cooperating with the Integrity Commissioner.”“We respect the Integrity Commissioner and, as we said when the complaint was first announced, we won’t be making any further comment,” Hadisi said, adding that Tory’s “record on integrity speaks for itself.”What’s more, on Thursday, Shapiro told reporters that he supports ActiveTO.
