John Tory is being declared the winner of the mayoralty election winning (at 8.30 p.m.) close to 39 percent of the popular vote against Doug Ford’s nearly 36 per cent. The closeness is reflective of the latest polls prior to election day which showed Mr. Ford surging. But in the end, John Tory, his campaign and his lead were unassailable. Tory organizers say they expect his lead to grow as the evening passes.
