I find it funny how outraged people are at Mark Towhey's suggestion that Sarah Doucette "lost the nomination" in Parkdale-High park. The outrage really leads me to believe there is some truth to it. At worst she knew she wouldn't get nominated so she just didn't attempt it.

Palacio withdrew according to Goldsbie

"Thorns_Embrace" conspiracy theory: John Tory is preparing a slate of candidates to endorse and Bailao made it over Palacio.

 

[Avenue]

Could be true. Bailao is John Tory's loyal pet, basically.

Palacio withdrew according to Goldsbie

So did Iola Fortino, who was running in St. Paul's against Mihevc and Matlow.

If you were planning to volunteer for Ana Bailao to keep out the awful Cesar Palacio, you don't have to worry anymore as Cesar has withdrawn. If you want to make a difference now you can volunteer for Shelley Carroll who is facing a tough battle against a friend of the recently elected PC MPP.

Very surprising move by Palacio. Slam dunk win for Bailão.

Given how supportive he was of Ford’s council decision, maybe Ford is giving him a cushy gig?

It would have been nice if a progressive had run in Davenport (Alejandra Bravo or Jonah Schein for example).

Agreed. It was a real d*ck movie for Palacio do it last minute.

There were a few rumblings that former NDP Davenport MP Andrew Cash was going to throw his hat in the ring.

She is running for TCDSB trustee in ward 9.

- Han Dong didn’t re-register.

- Joyce Rowlands, who I believe is the daughter of June Rowlands, is running in University-Rosedale.i

In essence you self-nominate so it's pretty hard to 'lose a nomination' in Council races. You can lose the support of some 'group' or Party and you can certainly lose the actual election.

Sounds like Ana Bailao is going through the Jaye Robinson transformation of progressive to Tory's pet. I fully expect Tory to endorse her.

I think Shelley Carroll is popular enough in her ward to win easily. Anyone else think otherwise?

Progressives in Davenport could give Nahum Mann a try and not worry now about "splitting the vote and helping Palacio":

She did exceptionally well under the Liberal banner in June given the circumstances.
