Serious question: Has anyone seen David Price at City Hall (or anywhere) since Lisi was arrested? Given that TPS appears to be working its way up the chain, I'd expect him to be brought in before Ford himself.

The campaign period for a seat at Toronto City Hall begins on January 2, 2014. Or, in Rob Ford's case, it is already on.
The campaign is too long. It seems to reflect the United States campaigns, which go on even longer. The campaign should be shortened to no more than three months, preferably two months.
No arrests made. Suspects went in voluntarily for questioning. TPS is moving up the chain from Lisi.
It makes sense for it to be long when it's not just about political parties. People need time to get to know the alternatives, or otherwise the incumbent would have a massive advantage. Ford has been campaigning for a year now, imagine if the official campaign had 3 months - all candidates would have to compete on those few months versus Ford's 2 years.
Does rob ford have to give up his radio show once January comes?
I don't know if municipal election laws are different than provincial/federal laws, but I do know that prov/fed say that media companies have to give all candidates equal air time, so if that's the case then newstalk1010 better be prepared to give the entire bill of candidates two hour radio shows....
That's my understanding, assuming he registers. Giambrone had to give up his TV show in January last time. This might be the only advantage of the ridiculously long campaign period.Does rob ford have to give up his radio show once January comes?
I doubt he'll wait until September to register. The man loves to campaign. Doug, on the other hand, has stated that he won't be running for councillor again. Who knows if he'll live up to that promise. I suppose Doug could refrain from registering (if he's changed his mind) until the last possible moment in order to keep the radio show. Or they could record a weekly podcast while campaigning. I don't believe there's anything in the rulebook against that.
