I was riding in Ward 2 the other day and was thInking what a lovely area it was to live in. But then I gave my head a shake remembering the Ford family hold and the people who vote for them. I don't want to live in that kind of neighbourhood.

Happy days are here again! The dauphin has been elected. Let's see if he says anything at Council or just keeps the Ford throne warm for Doug.

Tiny turnout, Mikey with 60%.

Actual result: Tiny turnout, Mikey with 69%. Almost beat Doug's 71% in 2010 but blew past Rob's 58% in 2014.

Breaking with Rob and Doug, he said he would work with council instead of being a lone wolf and attacking everyone.

Looking at and listening to Mike, it's hard to believe anyone would " seek him out & quote him... ".

The question by the general election will be: Michael Ford, 311 operator; or an actual councillor.

 

[riffraff]

I woke up this morning to CBC radio report of the "breaking news", but before I could roll over and snooze a little longer they played an audio clip of him. Is his voice ever going to change?

They also reported that Mikey said he was going to fight crime in N. Etobicoke. Well, he's got some experience there I guess.

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

How do you suggest he change his voice?

 

[fishie]

Or draw me a map to the plot, and I'll snap it myself . . . assuming it's possible to cycle there.

Looks like Warmington took care of that for you (plate 11 (of 11)): http://www.torontosun.com/2016/07/25/rob-ford-lives-on-in-nephews-byelection-win

 

[W. K. Lis]

So what have we learned from the Ward Two results?

Change your last name to "Ford", and you will win.

So, how long until Mikey drops his current image and becomes the lone wolf attack dog Doug wants him to be?

Don't think he has it in him. Expect radio silence/bromides for the first term while he wraps his head around what the hell he just got himself into. In his second term, expect more radio silence.
