John Tory releases Spotify playlist
Eclectic mix of songs includes The Weeknd, Justin Bieber and Drake alongside classic rock mainstays
John Tory has again shared his musical tastes on social media. The Toronto mayor on Friday posted a playlist, made on the streaming music service Spotify, which features an eclectic mix of new and old music by artists from around the city and abroad.
The 19-song collection includes The Weeknd's I Can't Feel My Face, Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? and Drake's Hotline Bling, all of which are currently on the Billboard Top 100.

The list also has the Kanye West song Stronger. Tory used the same tune in a brief video back in July which made light of an earlier gaffe in which the mayor suggested the U.S. rapper was from Toronto.
Other songs on the playlist are Michael Jackson's The Man in the Mirror and classic rock mainstays like Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac and Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer.

—@JohnToryTory isn't the only city hall politician making a musical stir online. Norm Kelly and Drake were exchanging praise earlier this week after the 74-year-old city councillor was seen strutting his stuff inside the coloured cube from the Hotline Bling video.
Drake has encouraged Kelly to release his own mix tape but, on that point at least, Kelly's Twitter account has been uncharacteristically quiet.
