Fight Back With Libby Znaimer

RECOVERING POLITICIANS PANEL: MAYOR TORY’S RESIGNATION & THE CITY BUDGET 12-12:25 PM Libby Znaimer is joined by George Smitherman, former Ontario Liberal MPP for Toronto Centre who also served as a health minister and deputy Premier, Janet Ecker, former Ontario PC MPP who served as a senior cabinet minister in the governments of Mike Harris and Ernie Eves and Peggy Nash, who is a former NDP MP for Parkdale-High Park. Today: we get reaction from our panel about Toronto Mayor John Tory announcing that he will resign after admitting to an affair with a 31-year-old staffer. This week he will preside over the City budget. Here's the thing: there is still a $933 million hole in the budget which the city wants other levels of government to help out with. Tory has a reputation of working well with the other governments and getting the City needed cash. So, how will things change now? And, if he's gone, will the next Mayor be able to get the job done? THE CITY BUDGET MEETING WILL GO ON AS PLANNED 12:25-12:40
