TORONTO—Toronto mayor John Tory moved to file an emergency motion for a referendum following an announcement by Ontario premier Doug Ford to cut the number of city councillors from 47 to 25.

At a City Hall press conference Friday morning, Tory addressed that proposal saying he had talked to Ford about the processes surrounding the “stunning” and “massive” change.
