... that John Hutchison(pictured), in his role as
mayor, signed Toronto's bid to become the capital of the
Province of Canada? Source: "Toronto's submission, dated March 28, 1857, and signed by one-term mayor John Hutchison"
[1] pg 200
ALT1: ... that John Hutchison(pictured) wanted to resign as
mayor of Toronto before his term ended, but councillors convinced him to stay? Source:
[2] pg 64.
Article meets DYK requirements and is free from close paraphrasing. QPQ has been done. I can't access the source so I am assuming good faith for the citation. I am only approving ALT0 since it seems more eye-catching and resignations being prevented by convincing by peers isn't exactly uncommon in politics.
