Councillors told tweed byron merger unlikely to happen but councillors say to be ready for other opportunities

TORONTO — Toronto Mayor John Tory has taken the unprecedented step of announcing he will retire from politics at the end of June, but he’s not done yet — even though he may not be able to retire any sooner.

Tory had previously said he p우리카지노lanned to announce his plans on a full schedule after serving a „limited“ term as mayor, but will now instead announce a „limited“ timetable.

Tory said Wednesday morning that his plans were „based on some very difficult decisions I’ve made over the past few weeks and some unexpected opportunities I’ve had더킹카지노 to deal with.“

„This has been one of the most stressful and difficult years of my life, and I’m very proud to have won a second term on the strength of the mandate I built on — which also helped me achieve a second term in government.“

Tory was sworn in as mayor of Toronto on Sept. 6.

The Ontario Progressive Conservative (OPP) won the mayoralty election in March 2012, a campaign in which the Conservatives were the first to see their support surge nationally예스카지노 among millennials and who were less focused on traditional Conservative values. In the wake of this rise in support, Tory was forced into a deal that would see him seek the Liberals‘ endorsement in June and give him one year’s term in office.

The deal was controversial and triggered a fierce contest among his rivals. A string of Liberal and NDP candidates and allies vowed to challenge Tory, and he also had to come up with the largest majority in Ontario’s history to govern.

He came within a whisker of the Liberals‘ vote in May 2012 with 33.9 per cent and his majority fell to 24.4 per cent two months later with the Liberals surging to 33.7 per cent, a four-point shift to the opposition’s 39.1 per cent.

At an all-candidates campaign event in Toronto on Wednesday evening, Tory made no secret of the fact he would like to serve out his last term at city hall, as well as say he will take some „time out“ and then resume work at council.

„I look forward to continuing my work as mayor, but I know the time is now and I am ready to pass the baton to someone else,“ he told reporters on the patio of his downtown home after the event.

Tory will announce a number of other opportunities for leadership at a special event in late August

Injury concerns hold up Harris as a third outfielder

After two seasons as a third outfielder, Matt Holliday’s performance as a left fielder was somewhat disappointing. The left fielder made his second career All-Star appearance last August, and had two strong seasons, finishing tied for the National League lead in home runs 바카라사이트with seven. But Holliday is hitting.219, which has resulted in an average of just.205. Holliday, who turned 36 on Oct. 30, has spent his career at right field, and while he’s not sure about his defensive ability at the position, it’s probably time for him to learn about that outside the box.

For his part, Harper hasn’t been having a great season offensively. He’s hitting.248/.319/.383 with 11 home runs, 50 RBIs and 35 doubl바카라사이트es. He has been hitting only.230/.306/.366 in May, which translates to just 0.98 wRC+ ove더킹카지노r the past month.

What could go wrong? It wasn’t all bad news for Harper at the end of May, as he had a hot August, batting.324 with 10 home runs, 34 RBIs and 26 doubles. After finishing with 13 homers and 42 RBIs, his plate discipline has gotten more spotty, which might lead to his regression.

But, even in his rough patch, Harper should still find his way to the Majors. He’s shown glimpses of his old swagger throughout his career, and he could make for an elite bat in the third base position with a couple years of solid hitting, in which case he should bounce back in 2013.

Tigers dare krejza to put bulls in spin cycle

The Tigers, who are battling for a sixth consecutive AFL win at the MCG, should be pleased with their performance in Thursday night’s clash against West Coast.

Gough Whitfield was at the MCG this week to take part in his own personal training, while Josh Bruce had a stint on the sidelines with the team after playing with concussion issues this season.

The Lions‘ three leading scorers in 2011 will have their best performance of the campaign on Wednesday night, however, as they host a heavily favoured Adelaide, with Fremantle set to be more comfortable in the midfield in the event of Whitfield’s absence.

Brett De바카라사이트ledio will likely lead the Lions into Thursday night’s clash with a strong start to the contest, with the coach tipping the Tigers‘ front six to be in form for a big win.

Brett Deledio says the Tigers‘ midfield is in for a big week Brett Deledio say바카라s the Tigers‘ midfield is in for a big week

„They’ve been strong for the first half,“ Deledio said.

„We know if we get over them and get a better start, they are going to struggle, but if the ball isn’t going our way, we are going to have a good night.

„From a coach’s point of view we’ve done a couple of games where we’ve been ahead and we’ve been really sloppy and not taken charge of games the way we should have.

„When you’ve got a couple of guys as confident as they are tonight we’re probably better for it.

„It’s all about them playing a solid football game and we can’t be too complacent with any of our starting forwards or any of our midfielders.

„They’ve had some rough spells at times and for whatever reason that hasn’t been their first tournament where they’ve had a tough fixture for us.“

The Tigers were in front at half-time in Round 4, with the Lions on level terms thanks to a massive lead in the first quarter.

But the hosts, who wo더킹카지노n the match, won the rest of the game from a point down to extend their lead to a two-point margin at half-time.

St Kilda dominated the centre of the ground after the break and kicked three goals, in addition to winning the penalty battle 19-0.

The Blues had three more goals – including a late goal by Brent Harvey – while the Dogs claime
