John Tory’s refusal to meet challenger Jennifer Keesmaat head on has led the CBC to cancel plans for a mayoral election debate. John Tory, right, has turned down CBC’s proposal for a one-on-one debate between him and Jennifer Keesmaat, the leading challenger in Toronto’s mayoral race. The Star and other media outlets have also identified Tory and Keesmaat as the top candidates in the mayoral race. It now appears Tory and Keesmaat may never debate one-on-one. In 2014, Tory and then mayoral candidate Doug Ford sparred over debate participation.
