Sadly, it seems the Fords had the last laugh, with last minute candidate and family trained monkey Mikey defeating the incumbent Hastings in the end. You really can't make this shit up.

Strange article by Warmington on Doug filling in. I wonder sometimes if he's fallen off the wagon when he writes these pieces. Just call Doug Ford The Shadow

Does it really make a difference, the Speaker can always clear the Gallery......

. @MooreintheAM says Doug Ford told him he plans to attend council meetings, sit in gallery, signal "voting intention" during Rob's leave.
What exactly does Doug hope to achieve by sitting in the gallery and holding up his "funny signs"? Represent the Ghost of Rob? Will one of them say "Recorded Vote Please"? Does he hope to influence the vote in some way? I don't get it.

Or, reflecting what *actually* transpired, going to the Grits' Dr. Shafiq Qaadri one term early. (Ed Philip's comeback bid for the NDP was only good for 3rd.)

Very strange indeed. I guess he is worried about Postmedia cleaning house.
Doug really was a shadow as councillor though.

I gather than Ezra's secret gig writing speeches for the Puffster has kinda dried up.

God, Warmington is just the worst writer. How can you work at a newspaper as long as he has and not know how to use a fricking comma? Or a question mark?
...and so and and so on. Content aside, his articles are just amazingly poorly written. Clearly the Sun editors don't even try.
Also, this is what came to mind when I read Doug will "take care of" Ward 2's residents...

I say let him try.
1. He won't actually show up. Maybe once for effect but that's it.
2. He won't actually return calls. Maybe one when Wormington "happens" to be in the neighbourhood.
3. If he does try to muck around in the office he'll invariably break privacy laws, and those are pretty strict.
4. Maybe he can also do his brother's furniture ads
He's doing this for the press now, and maybe for a scrum in the back of council. Otherwise, 'making' him sit in the audience with his mouth shut keeps him away from sharp objects. But it doesn't matter because he won't actually do anything - and we all know that.

You're assuming the Sun still has copy editors. (FYI. That's a comment on newsrooms generally, not just the one at the Sun.)

He can always suck up the cash of his supporters instead, though I don't know how much he would have left after the lawsuits. Not so funny is the fact that tax dollars ended up helping to fund his BS (however indirectly)

I bet he will show up, cause a scene, get kicked out and then spend the rest of the time popping up in the media to cry foul

It all reminds me of _______ radical preacher/speaker/provocateur who puts a downpayment on a convention centre and then "organizes" a conference on some controversial topic. The intention is never to actually hold it or sell tickets, but rather to make empty boasts about how many people are coming and then cause such a stink that the facility returns the deposit to make them go away. In the end it's all about the cheap publicity.
