There were three debates this week – two of which included current Mayor John Tory taking on Jennifer Keesmaat and a range of challenges, and one that Tory didn't even attend. John Tory, who is seeking re-election as mayor, said he was eager to defend his record at Tuesday's debate hosted by Global News. Mayoral candidate Jennifer Keesmaat used Monday's ArtsVote debate to sharpen her attacks on John Tory. For example, TTC fares bring in about $1.2 billion per year, revenue which would need to be replaced if fares disappeared. John Tory declined to attend, opting to keep a previous commitment to attend a fundraising event.
