Layton's popularity helped the NDP become the official opposition. A lot of people felt taken when Jack up and died on them. Olivia can't be too hard on Rob without the question of Jack coming up.
ETA:
So Jack did exactly what Rob is doing. He ran for office knowing full well he couldn't do the job. How can Olivia challenge Rob on this without it coming back to her?

but that is not explaining why RoFo is still running for the Ward 2 seat.

Considering that Mute Mikey has yet to make any public statement, it is quite possible that he is relying solely on name-recognition for getting elected.

Mikey will probably be the de-facto ruler in Ward 2 while Rob sits in bed. Worst case scenario for them is Rob dies and Mikey's chances of keeping the seat are much higher.

Thanks. Too much to digest in one go. But I've managed to parse some interesting bits so far.

Guys... do you not think "the letter" was crafted for maximum political benefit? He had a state funeral for crying out loud. Olivia Chow did a CBC special (prior to announcing her run for mayor) where she showed everyone the sculpture she was desinging for Jack.
I'm not saying Layton wasn't a decent man, and not comparing him to RoFo, but if you think that using sickness for political benefit has only been done by the Fords than you're either naive or blinded by political stripes (IMO).
And I'll re-iterate what Kilroy said above... she can't chastise Rob because her hubbie did the exact same thing...
My point is that Olivia is not the naive and nice person I think people want her to be. She's a political veteran.

NBC did what the Toronto media are afraid to do and called that audio recording a campaign ad.

She can't. But she's not running against Rob. Doug is fair game, though.

"Whether all these shifts are enough to push Doug Ford into the mayor’s office or not, it’s going to be a lot harder to talk sensibly about the future of the city amid all the tears.
It’s not so simple anymore, is it?"
