The first time I heard Doug speak, I thought he sounded reasonable in comparison to Rob. Then he kept opening his mouth.

Maybe the family are thinking voters are ready for a newer model of Ford, so Mikey should run. And then his uncle can try and fail to get into provincial or federal politics. This is what it sounds like when Dougs cry.

I love you lemur.

Well, that was quick. The media got five minutes with him and now the focus is on actual issues. I consider that an improvement.

Man, I am a huge fan (saw him a year ago at the Sony with 3rdeyegirl from Row D) and usually the first to say no too soon, but this may be the best sentence ever typed into this thread.

I was scratching my head about the "Ford Nation" flag, until...

This is not...

And that's that. Unanimous vote to declare seat vacant and by-election on July 25, 2016.

I'm sure he is.

BREAKING: Michael Ford says he is resigning his position as a trustee with the TDSB and will run in the Ward 2 byelection.

Jamie Strashin @StrashinCBC
From Michael Ford: this afternoon I resigned my position as the TDSB Trustee to seek election as the next City Councillor for Ward 2

And there it is. No Doug this time.

 

[PinkLucy]

That didn't take long did it? The Star didn't even get their breaking news alert out before Mikey declared.

The TDSB has 22 trustee seats. Ford's resignation will trigger its fourth by-election in a span of roughly 8 months.

Wow, that is a lot of wasted money being spent on by-elections.

Tory mentioned doing trustee elections at the same time

Cynthia Mulligan @CityCynthia
Note: @AndrayDomise who ran against Michael Ford in last elxn (before Rob Ford became ill) says he will not be running in byelection #topoli

I wouldn't want to do all of that again.

Any way to create a Ward Two "primary" vote before the real by-election, to weed out the not-going-to-have-a-chance?
