Ford has pulled out of the Mayors race citing his health concerns as he is facing surgery and possibly chemo
He could be laid up,for a few months recuperating. Anyone who has battled cancer know its not an easy go.

Doug has stated he will not run in his bros place.

Tory might just WIN something finally!

Apparently he attempted to submit paper work as a candidate to replace Rob but was denied due to a technicality. His agent is attempting again to submit paperwork.
 
I think this makes it a three way race. Doug Ford has the same dumb politics as Rob Ford but he is (far as I know) not an alcoholic or a crack head. Quite a lot of the anybody but Ford vote was responding to the shame that Rob Ford brought on the city through his antics. That concern goes away with Doug Ford.

That will shake up a lot of things, and I think it will hurt Tory more than anyone.

Some Chow supporters who were planning to vote Tory to beat Rob will now be less afraid to vote for Chow. Some far right conservatives who were voting Tory because they were embarrassed by Rob may switch their vote to Doug. As for whether Doug can carry the Ford nation vote, we will have to wait and see.

The next poll result sure will be interesting!
 
Rob and Doug are two peas from the same pod. Doug might not be an alcoholic or smoked crack (as far as we know), but he's just as abrasive as his brother is.

True, and Rob won the last election before we knew about his booze, crack etc...Doug might have a chance.
 
So Rob Ford isn't well enough to run for re election as mayor but not to resign as mayor now, and run for councelor in October instead? Ok. This apparent tumor Rob Ford has gets released to the media 4 1/2 hours after the Mike Tyson fiasco (who publicly endorsed Rob Ford) on CP24 last Wednesday by a Dr. Rueben Devlin. The same Dr. Rueben Devlin who was the former Ontario PC Party president who in 2008 attempted to oust then-party leader and current political rival to Mr. Ford -John Tory.

This all goes down the same week of the deadline to either remove or add you name to the ballot box for the upcoming election which is exactly what Rob and Doug Ford do.

Things that make ya go hmmmmm.

Tory was sounding nervous and overly aggressive in his response to Doug entering the race. Tory was looking like the next mayor yesterday, today, not so sure. Rob Ford is a nice forgiving guy to debate against, Doug is brighter and maybe not as nice.

This is certainly an interesting election. 6 more weeks.

Ash....I aint voting for him. But he was transfered to Mount Sinai where he has since been re-tested and examined and there is a biopsy done.

I doubt very much he has the influence to coerce two hospital depts to go along with a sham.

More likely the doctor is known to the Fords and he was either pressed into service or offered as they know and trust him.

But ya, any Hollywood writer would be tossed out of L.A. If he tried to present this as a story idea.

I'm sure some of this was planned. Apparently, dougfordformayor.ca was registered back in May. I'm sure having Doug run in Rob's absence was in the works for a long time.
 
Likely they set up the Doug Ford site when they thought crack/alcohol would knock Rob out. I don't think anybody plans on cancer.
 
Doug is bigger tyrant, even bullied his little brother Rob when they were doing the weight loss contest.
Hope he falls on his face and loses!

Of course they didn't foresee the cancer diagnosis, but I'm sure they could see the tide changing. Rob was quoted as saying: "I’ve asked Doug to finish what we started together, so that all we’ve accomplished isn’t washed away." They wanted to run things together so Doug's candidacy is not surprising.

Doug Ford was always the man behind the curtains pulling the strings in my opinion. Except the substance abuse.

Now the man behind the curtain steps forward.

Say what you want, but it is rare we get to see politics played at such a dramatic and high level.

I agree.

That isn't a good thing. Politics should be about serious analysis of issues and policy. Not an episode of the Kardashian's.

Politics, is still a show, especially in democracies.

The mayor, trailing, then stricken by disease, still wants to win and see his vision full filled. How can he do it now, when his actual survival is at stake. We're talking about his life here.

So we see the manouvering at the filling cut off time, and looks like they are out flanking for Chow for good, and the potential out flanking of the current leader in the polls Tory.

The issues are important, but lets not underestimate the tribal tendencies of the voter.
