John Tory says he will be stepping down as the mayor of Toronto after having a relationship with a staff member.

Tory made the announcement during a late press conference Friday evening.

Tory said the relationship did “not meet the standards to which I hold myself as mayor and as a family man.”

According to Tory, the relationship began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he and his long-time wife were spending “lengthy periods apart.”

Tory said he will be stepping down so he can “reflect on my mistakes” and “do the work of rebuilding the trust of my family.”

He said the relationship “ended by mutual consent” earlier this year. [...]

“While I deeply regret having to step away from a job that I love, in a city that I love even more, I believe in my heart, it is best to fully commit myself to the work that is required to repair these most important relationships, as well,” he said.

Tory said he is “deeply sorry” and apologized “unreservedly” to the people of Toronto, his staff members and his colleagues at city hall. [...]

might be an odd question and its ok if u cant answer but. asking as someone whos really interested in law but doesnt know where to start, where are places u can learn about court systems or basic terminology or see court proceedings i know the obvious answer would be an actual place of education probably but yknow

Sorry if this is worded bizarrely, I just woke up.

I'd start with explanations on YouTube, actually: a lot of professors do upload brief video lessons about law, and they are generally easy to watch and quite entertaining. And free education, most importantly. Otherwise, libraries may offer some sources too, like textbooks and the likes, but I'd suggest those after a basic introduction.

About seeing court proceedings, the best thing would be to just go to court: a certain type of criminal trials are open to public in England and America and in a lot of other systems. I can tell you that going to see a few proceedings yourself is pretty fun and usually the Judges and Clerks are kind, so inform yourself about open courts near you. (Be mindful though that open trials are also generally for more serious criminal offences and that you might be seeing upsetting evidence or testimony).

Otherwise, the Internet exists and some major trials are uploaded, albeit probably not in full.

The Internet in general is a pretty good source, though you have to be careful about where you are getting information from. But aside from that good on you for being interested in law, hopefully this helped.

Ferre stood up.

“On the charges of statutory rape how do you plead?” She asked him.

“Not guilty, your honor,” Ferre told the court.

@drspencerreidshands liked for a Professor Ferre AU!

Ferre knew it was a bad first impression to be late on the first day of class but the line at the little cafe next to campus was far longer than he’d expected it to be and now he was nearly five minutes late. He jogged through the door, “Sorry class I’m here!” He went to the front and erased the math problems from the board, “Welcome to creative writing I’m Dr. Combeferre, you guys can call me Gabe though.”

hello! i had a muse crisis and i got rid of fletcher and brought in one of my favorite characters, this Tall and incredibly messy Paris Hilton impersonator

( COURTNEY EATON | 20 | CISFEMALE ) I swear I saw FRANCINE "FRANKIE" VIGO around campus yesterday. I hear SHE is very IMPULSIVE, GREGARIOUS & FICKLE, which explains why when you think of them, you’d think of LIPS STAINED RED FROM A CHERRY SUCKER & DANCING IN A SLIP DRESS TO FLEETWOOD MAC. They’re in their JUNIOR year and studying DRAMATIC ARTS. lol goodbye fletcher flings her away

francine “frankie” prudence vigo. what a name. her parents were both hippies who raised her in brooklyn and worked as starving artists. well, not starving but close to it. they were very much flower children who had an open relationship so frankie had some questions early on about the strange men and women who were kissing her parents lol

her childhood was generally very happy for the first few years? picture a tiny frankie learning how to paint while eating organic granola and listening to her mom’s fleetwood mac records

was homeschooled for a while until her mom died suddenly in a car accident while her parents were driving upstate for vacation

her dad survived but her was never the same afterwards. he cut off all his hair and got a job waiting tabes at some fancy french rstaurant. there wasn’t a lot of music playing in their house after that

basically her dad’s way of dealing with the loss was to just... pretend frankie didn’t exists and ignore her presence. he only spoke to her when it was necessary

as she got to be a teen she tried basically anything to get his attention. getting drunk in the middle of a school day, smoking weed in her room with music blasting, bringing home strings of guys and girls to have loud sex with. none of it got him to look at her

when she was about sixteen she fell “in love” with her english teacher who had a wife and a kid. him being a massive creep, he started sleeping with frankie and telling her he loved her. he’d whisper lines from the great gatsby in her ear while he promised to never leave her

BIG SURPRISE! he did and frankie never told anyone about what happened between and still hasn’t to this day. it really fucked her up and has given her a lot of trauma and abandonment issues

she’s not really good at relationships if you can’t tell? she’s either a bit full on or just doesn’t care about you at all. there’s no in between, and if she likes you she would do anything for you

which definitely gets her into trouble as she can get manipulated easily

her dad didn’t want to pay for her to go to lockwood, but that english teacher? offered to pay for her college if she would never go to the police about what happened

so here she is. she loves to party and is studying dramatic arts, which is perfect for her personality

she loves paris hilton and early 2000′s fashion and idolizes cher. she has a gecko in her room named after that woman

her music taste is largely influence by her mom. she listens to a lot of  80′s indie rock, like belle and sebastian, simon and garfunkel, joy division, violent femmes, talking heads. she also really loves terrible pop music and will pop her pussy to britney any day

she’s kind of the caricature of spunk and energy with a smile and lots of puns that she hides her grief behind

loves drinking especially drinking anything that tastes sweet and sugary

also loves sleeping around. she does cam modeling on the side and sometimes its really KINKY and nasty but most of the time it’s just her taking bong hits with no shirt on.

OKAY so wanted plots time: i need a toxic relationship with someone who doesn’t actually care about her, an unrequited crush, flings, awkward hookups that on’t look at each other anymore, exes that ended on good terms and are super close now, childhood friends, family friends, and some wild, reckless friends that all party together skins style. hit me up.

          I know I've talked about this before and I think I posted a headcanon about it on my last blog so here I am finally putting it in stone on this blog. There are some triggers regarding teen pregnancy and whatnot so this will be under a cut. I think it's a very important and defining detail to Stephanie's story so I find it necessary to post about, but please be aware it's a sensitive subject!

          In canon, when Stephanie was fourteen years old, she met a man by the name of Dean. Shortly thereafter, they entered a relationship that quickly became sexual. She lost her virginity to him, but he was a douchebag and pretty much just wanted Stephanie for her body. Eventually, when the earthquake hit Gotham, she wanted to help people and he got pissed at her for it -- effectively bailing on her. Shortly after that Stephanie found out she was pregnant. At fifteen years old, she gave birth to a baby girl and gave her up for adoption.

          Now, that's where canon leaves the story and DC basically fails at addressing the psychological or physical affects of giving birth to a baby that young.

          First off, Stephanie canonly had a cesarian section, if I recall correctly. A pregnancy on someone so young, plus such a heavy surgery would have lasting physical affects. Now, on top of the normal affects of such things, Stephanie's also a superhero that has been shot, stabbed, and tortured multiple times. By my assumption and the research I've done on the subject -- though I'm no expert, this is the headcanon I'm going with -- Stephanie having a baby in the future will be extremely difficult, if not impossible.  

          In order for her to have a baby, she would stop having to be a superhero, at the very least the duration of the pregnancy, she would have to seriously get her temper and emotions under control -- she would likely be put on bed rest for the vast majority of her pregnancy, even. She would be monitored like a hawk and, frankly, would probably have several miscarriages along the way.

          Her womb is just so damaged at this point that it would be extremely physically taxing.

          Now, as for the emotional aspect, I think DC really glossed over how traumatic it is for anyone to give up a baby for adoption, let alone give one up at fifteen. Statistically, there are quite a few psychological problems that people suffer as a result and many people have to go to therapy to cope. For someone like Stephanie, she pretty much just suppressed the fact. Had a few good cries and then went back to her life like it was no big deal.

          So now? The idea of having a baby or being pregnant or anything of that nature pretty much terrifies her. She would hide away and cry for hours, if she got pregnant. It's probably the most horribly emotionally traumatic experience for her.

          However, she does love babies and children and wants to be a mom. Someday. If she saw someone get pregnant that she's close with, she would totally fawn over them and be the best auntie Stephanie in the world. Then go home and cry about it.
