On Wednesday night — before the vote on whether to rename Centennial Park after the late Rob Ford — Mayor John Tory got up and reminded council of the controversial mayor’s past.
“We cannot erase history and gloss over very difficult parts of our city’s past (with Ford as mayor),” Tory said that night, reminding us that the “divisive era” (created by Rob Ford) is over.
But on Friday morning when he gleefully announced that downtown NDP councillor Ana Bailao would become the new deputy mayor of Toronto and East York — replacing the late Pam McConnell — any mention of her drunk-driving history was conspicuously absent.
