from Wikipedia, Prior to the election, the province of Ontario passed the Strong Mayors Act, which granted the office of mayor additional powers including the development of the budget, creating council committees, appointing the chairs and vice chairs of those committees, the power to reorganize departments, appointing department heads, and appointing the city manager. The mayor was also granted the power to veto council decisions which do not align with priorities set by the province.[1][2] On November 16, 2022, the province proposed further changes the powers of the mayor, introducing a bill which would allow by-laws to be passed with only one-third of council voting in favour if the mayor declared it to be in line with provincial priorities.[3]
On October 27, 2014, Tory was elected mayor of Toronto, defeating incumbent mayor Rob Ford‘s brother, councillor Doug Ford and former councillor and member of Parliament (MP) Olivia Chow. On October 22, 2018, he was re-elected mayor of Toronto in the 2018 mayoral election, defeating former chief city planner Jennifer Keesmaat.[1] He was elected for a third term as mayor on October 24, 2022, after defeating prominent urbanist Gil Penalosa.[2] He announced his intention to imminently resign as mayor on February 10, 2023, after admitting to having an affair with a staffer during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] He submitted his resignation letter to the city clerk on February 15, and formally left office on February 17, at 5 p.m
