Stintz denies taking money from Tory to quit

A Tweet from Warren Kinsella has generated a lot of interest in just what if anything passed between Karen Stintz and John Tory at the time she stepped out of the race. Ms Stintz hustled onto CP24 to deny that she was offered money or anything else to quit the race. Her explanation of the “money” reference and “harmony dinners” seemed vague. One might draw from her remarks that Mr. Tory said he would help with what amounts to a passing of the hat for Ms. Stintz. At the time of her exit from the race, the South Bayview Bulldog did point out that cynics made a connection between the former Councillor’s interest in the commissionership of  the CFL and Mr. Tory’s history in that department. Of course there is no love lost between Tory and Kinsella after a life of political combat.
