Residents of Toronto, Canada have elected a new mayor to replace outgoing Mayor Rob Ford, who has garnered international headlines for his drug and alcohol use and publicly boorish behavior.

多倫多選出新市長結束福特時代

With 100 percent of the vote counted, conservative candidate John Tory won Monday's election with over 40 percent of vote, defeating Doug Ford, Rob Ford's brother, who gained 33 percent of the vote. A third candidate, left-leaning Olivia Chow, finished with just 23 percent.

Tory, a former cable television company executive and radio broadcaster, lost the 2010 mayoral race to the incumbent mayor.

Mayor Ford dropped his reelection bid last month after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of abdominal cancer, prompting the brothers to switch places - while Doug ran for mayor, Rob ran for Doug's seat on the city council.

Despite his notoriety, the outgoing mayor suggested Monday during a speech to his supporters that he will seek the top job again in 2018.加拿大城市多倫多的選民選出了一名新市長。將卸任的多倫多市長福特由於吸毒、酗酒、以及在大庭廣衆下出言不遜等行爲引發國內和國際的關注。

多倫多的市長選舉在星期一舉行。全部選票清點之後顯示,保守派參選人約翰.托裏勝出,贏得了40%多的選票,擊敗了參選的現任市長的兄弟,他獲得了33%的選票。排名第三的參選人是一位被認爲有左翼傾向的亞裔女性,鄒至蕙。她獲得了23%的選票。

在這次選舉中獲勝的托裏曾經是一家有線電視公司的總裁,還擔任過廣播節目的主持人。他在2010年參選市長的時候,輸給了當時的在職市長福特。

福特上個月宣佈不再競選連任。他被查出患有較嚴重的腹部腫瘤。之後,他和他的兄弟決定互換角色出來競選,他的兄弟出來競選市長,他本人競選市議員

儘管即將卸任的福特因吸毒等問題名聲不好,但是他星期一發表講話時暗示,下一屆市長選舉、也就是2018年的時候,他還有可能會參選。
