For discussion on the individual wards.
To start, Peter Leon (Ward 3), appointed to replace Doug Holyday, is considering breaking his promise and running for council. Paul Ainslie pulled the same stunt (a conservative, appointed in near the end of the Lastman era) but ran in a neighbouring ward.

Star: Appointed Etobicoke councillor Peter Leon considers breaking promise not to run
(Daniel Dale, Jan 1)
Peter Leon promised repeatedly he would not run in the 2014 election if council appointed him to replace Doug Holyday in Etobicoke’s Ward 3.
He was appointed. Less than three months later, he is waffling on his promise.
Leon, who took office on Oct. 10, now says it is “the people’s choice†whether or not he enters the 2014 race. He is keeping his vow “at this point,†he says, but he might change his mind if his constituents encourage him to do so.
