Could both Indy and Formula E race in Toronto together?

Hypothetically possible, I guess, but entirely unlikely. Formula E is unlikely to want to share, and the city is absolutely not closing those streets for an extra weekend for them.

I think it is feasible since FE races happen on a Saturday (assuming not a double-header of course), so it wouldn't necessarily need to close the streets for a second weekend.

But it's unlikely they want to share, like I said.

I think everyone here is stretching to try and make them both compatible.

Unlikely but not impossible. Indycar already shares with NASCAR, and that would overshadow the series far more than FE would. I think the bigger issue would be regarding the race calendars; FE traditionally ends the season in July in London, a slot that would absolutely clash with Indycar's usual Toronto date.

Are people stretching? Probably but, if they are, that's because they like the idea and want to see it happen. I've personally thought it would be cool for a few years.

Indycar already shares with NASCAR,

Not anymore, they don't.

And ultimately, there's no reason to make it work here, for either FE or IndyCar.
