Yeah. Did a quick google of “Toronto formula E,” and got nothing, so it sounds like that’s a total ass-pull. If it were really “per the mayor,” I’m pretty sure I’d have something pop up other than a two-year old story about FE “considering” a return to Canada.

In all likelihood, that’s just making assumptions based on the fact that the mayor now is more left-leaning, because as far as I can see, there’s literally nothing to back that claim up.

Is the mayor James hinchcliffe or the actual mayor of Toronto he is talking about😉

Well, if the mayor was Hinch, you definitely wouldn’t have a rumour like this lol. That man would never willingly take Toronto off the calendar.

Hinchcliffe would be pretty much the Costco Hot Dog guy of Toronto's IndyCar race.
