Silverstein, Jacobs enter election office.

The big event has started.

Silverstein is here submitting paperwork. Withdrawing Rob Ford's name from the race and entering Doug.

And there you have it.

Hallelujah!

As happy as I am to see Rob out of it, I would have preferred to see him go down in flames at the ballot box (or even at the ballet box)
 
Withdrawal for Rob and Michael Ford! Doug tried to register but they didn't have the correct paperwork.

ETA: Thought I was fast, but everyone else was faster.

Doug is talking chemotherapy before there has been a cancer diagnosis. He does like to create drama.

In all fairness, the Ford's have information we don't.

I don't doubt for a minute this is a malignant tumour. The preliminary biopsy results would be available quickly, there may be spots elsewhere (liver, lungs) that haven't been confirmed.

We should not assume that we know everything the Fords' do.

I don't have much good to say about their family, but I am more than prepared to put my cynicism aside on this. No one ever wants to face what they are facing right now.

And of course, clicking on the sun link is basically what's providing the meal ticket for the paper to continue to hire him...

Just saying.

I use donotlink.com to get to S(t)un pages, though I don't know if that really affects his meal ticket. But I do love the fact that after I type in the URL, donotlink puts up a box that says "Most people think this link is nonsense," and later asks me to add my own rating.

(You can probably guess.)

Breaking: Ward 2 candidate Michael Ford has also withdrawn. That's Rob Ford's old ward. Rob Ford has an hour to sign up to run there.

Sad...
 
So everyone's prediction that Mikey was just a seat warmer were 100% correct. Will none of Ford Nation find this a little too cynical? That he was running not because he cared about the ward, but as part of a strategic ploy? Plus, don't these type of people typically decry nepotism?
