Mayor John Tory, sending a letter directly to Queen’s Park, is urging Premier Doug Ford to reconsider his plan to cut the size of council.
“Something as fundamentally important as an election — a primary mechanism of civic democracy — should not be changed without public input and in the absence of a clear process or robust understanding of public impacts and costs,” Tory’s letter, sent Thursday night and forwarded to reporters Friday morning, reads. “In light of this lack of any public consultation, I urge you to consider putting the process on hold to allow for a referendum so we can let the people speak.”
He continued: “This was not raised as a campaign issue by any party and therefore in my view, no party has a mandate for such unilateral action.”

The letter strikes a more aggressive tone for Tory, who is seeking re-election, than his initial comments after the Star first broke the news of the council cut plan. He said then he was “angry at the process,” not the premier, and downplayed the chances of a legal challenge. His response then helped convince Jennifer Keesmaat, Toronto’s former chief planner, to jump into the mayoral race to oppose Tory just before the deadline to sign uplz mark
