“I love this city and I want to make sure Toronto comes back stronger than ever in the years ahead — that will take strong and experienced leadership that works,” said Tory.
“I want to keep working for you day in and day out,” Tory continued. “That’s what I’ve done every day as mayor, including over the last two years confronting COVID-19 — and that’s what I’m promising to do if re-elected.”
