Thanks. I hope the question didn't sound snarky. I was just wondering if he has inside knowledge, or is just an observer like the rest of us.

The lady makes a good point.
It didn't take him long to start waffling!

I'm not convinced that Doug was ever sincere about running for PCPO leader. His consistent pattern has always been lies, diversions, and full-frontal BS, why would this be any different? Doug thinks he's Dr Joe Goebbels, or at least a modern day version of him.
This is just noise, and Doug needs to generate it to make a place for himself in the story. If he stayed quiet for several months and then came out of the wilderness talking about a PC seat at Queen's Park, no one would really care. It wouldn't get enough attention to gain any traction.
Coming off the meryl race, the PCPO leadership shtick was a red herring to keep his name in the news and build the Ford Nation myth. I think Doug would be quite happy with a PCPO backbench seat just like good old Dad.
With a backbench seat, he could still peddle influence, disingenuously stir up shit, do Ford selfies with folks, and paint a veneer of respectability on a family that deserves none. Rob was more interested in fame; Doug is more interested in power. I think he sees more power available from Queen's Park than City Hall.
Not such a bad deal, especially when you get paid for it, including downtown parking space for your coal-roller.

Doug Ford says there will be a dual mayor system in Toronto with his brother as councillor & John Tory as mayor.

Rob won't show up for work, and when he does he will be ignored. Thankfully.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner.
There's no way Doug is passing on the race without some kind of promise of future favours from Elliott. A shot at MPP, with a promise of an important role, seems the most likely guess.
That said, the Fords don't really make deals. They do what they want, when they want. There's a lot of days between now and Jan. 30 and I wouldn't rule out Doug making a last minute bid.

Rob will be gone by April.
Pleomorphic liposarcoma (PLS), the rarest subtype of liposarcoma (LS; see this term), is an aggressive, fast growing tumor located usually in the deep soft tissues of the lower and upper extremities. It is characterized by a variable number of pleomorphic lipoblasts and, in contrast to dedifferentiated liposarcoma, it lacks any association with well-differentiated liposarcoma (see these terms).

Let's me see:
- Deputy Mayor Rob Ford—no
- Chair of any committee for Rob Ford—no
- Chair of Etobicoke Community Council for Rob Ford—no
- Deputy position for any of the committees for Rob Ford—no
Maybe John may ask Rob to assist the committee in charge of 311. What committee would that be?

I would say that Rob could be a receptionist, but that requires computer skills.

You're too right; I can't decide whether the funny wins in the fight against the scary. The only silver lining would be if Doug has had some serious emotional pain and sleepless nights, slowly figuring out that Rob would never ever pick up all the skills of Dr Joe's boss.
Yes. I can't argue against any of that.

Ford Family news cycle to promote there agenda. At the announcement this morning did people notice Diane manoeuvring to stay in the shot behind Doug? Is she showing who is behind the decisions of the Ford Family Compact?

Are Neil Flagg and the gang still being silent about Doug not running? I would check, but that page makes me feel stupid when I read it...
