Though the Jewish population not so much. Most Polish Jews lived in the Russian Empire.

John Tory met Harper over the summer to discuss Toronto issues. Doug was busy handling magicians and wrestlers.

Polish is a nationality but Jewish is a religion
Its not that simple. Its a group of races as well.
John Tory is actually a liberal guy. Some of you on here have no clue what you are talking about. He is actually more of a Liberal than a Conservative. Socially he is 100% Liberal. Financially he's more of a Progressive Conservative.

So socially liberal that he threatened to defund Pride over a Palestinian rights group (which puts him among the most socially conservative members of city council).
I think people confuse political correctness with actually being progressive. Sure, Tory is polite. He doesn't use ethnic slurs. He's not usually overtly misogynistic. But what are Tory's actual progressive bona fides? What has he actually said about social justice? What is his plan for dealing with the 30% of children in the city who live in poverty? What is his plan to shrink the carbon footprint of the city? Does he care at all about climate change? He has no plans to create bicycle lanes. In fact, his only plan is to cancel bicycle lanes on Eglinton, which puts him in Rob Ford territory.
I don't know how you can claim that Tory is a Liberal. He was the leader of the PC party in Ontario, and if he wasn't exactly similar to the likes of Randy Hillier or Frank Klees, that doesn't make him centrist, whatever his public image may suggest. He's also a flip-flopper who supported the Fords in 2010, and even was saying nice things about Doug last year.
Maybe he does fit in with the Liberals, inasmuch as he has no particular principles and would happily go wherever the (pandering) wind takes him.
In any case, Miller wasn't any less an NDPer and was elected twice.
