Calls controversial police practice 'illegitimate, disrespectful and hurtful'
The policy allowed Toronto police to routinely and randomly stop citizens in the streets and record or elicit personal information.
As soon as Tory became mayor last November, he reconfigured the Police Services Board, took a seat on the board, and proceeded to dismantle the rules governing carding that the previous board passed in April 2014.
After dozens of prominent Torontonians stood just steps from John Tory's second-floor city hall office to demand an end to carding, the mayor said he heard their message "very clearly." But on Wednesday, Tory refused to join that call, instead doubling down on his position that the practice needs reforming, not shelving.
