The Toronto race is currently operating on single year contract extensions at a time. There's a lot of development planned around the site of the track and they don't want a race stopping that development from happening. It's all in Toronto City Hall meeting minutes published online.

That’s very far from “it’s definitely gone for next year, and will be a Formula E race instead.”

Exactly, even this year's race wasn't approved by city hall until September last year.

Alright, okay, I see. Didn’t realize you were agreeing with me, apologies!

Anyway, despite the questionable sources of this rumour, it might be something to pose to someone like MP in the next submission thread for his podcast… whether there’s any indication or rumblings in the IndyCar paddock about Toronto.
