And the 41-2 vote of non-confidence would be sending Mr. Democracy to the polls for a mandate, not to the Courts where he threatens to go, instead. Just a few weeks ago he was all hot to have a by-election to replace Doug Holyday, and earlier when the judge punished him for acting in conflict with the City's interest and removed him from office he was demanding a by-election for Mayor so 'democracy would correct the judge'. He's singing a different tune now.
Frankly a contrite resignation speech when the story broke would have avoided all the crap, stupidity and lies we've seen since, and been a respectable campaign opener for a cleaned-up Rob. But only the willfully blind could still believe the Rob that's been on display since Gawker has any idea of what cleaning up means. If he makes good his threat to run, we'll get a sense of how many such mentally challenged folk are in Toronto.
