In the unlikely event that Doug wins:
- Doug brings in Rob as Deputy mayor. Triggers by-election, Mikey takes over Ward 2.
- Doug has something come up in which he must step down, or is otherwise unable to fulfill his duties as mayor.
- Rob is mayor in his absence, and it gets drawn out until the next election (so that there's no need for a by-election)

When a councilor is appointed DM it does not trigger a by-election. The DM is just a councilor who also has the position of DM.

Bear in mind that if Rob Ford wins this election, he'll testify in the Lisi trial as a sitting councillor in the spring.

With all the gloves off, yay!

Rob will win, with ease.

Properly, he might be called to testify at Lisi's preliminary hearing (not trial); having been subpoenaed is no guarantee (not even a Doug Ford guarantee) that he will be called to testify.

Didn't think to put Mikey in a school board seat - that's actually pretty clever on their part. He can win that and run for Ward 2 in 2018.

Many a long-time councillor started as a School Trustee, it gives you name recognition if you decide to flip over to councillor because you've got a form of incumbent status.

The machinations of these people are not to be underestimated.
 
Jesus, what a roller coaster ride. So the Matyrdom of St. Slob via Tumor was just a scam after all. Kouvalis certainly called it...but then, he knows the Fords, doesn't he?

And far too many of us, even those who are smart enough to know better, even with the Ford family's history of lies, ruthlessness, corruption and perfect willingness to game the system, are still far too stupidly willing to give them the benefit of the doubt when something suspicious happens. In a Now Magazine piece yesterday, the usually intelligent Enzo DiMatteo was wagging his finger at people who were buying into a "vast right wing conspiracy" by assuming the Fords were being a little less than honest in this latest episode. And look how it's turned out.

Doug Ford will be making statement at 7 pm outside his mom Diane Ford's home

I would love to see a gaggle of hecklers there for that.

Doug's campaign can buy the stuff. Must pay fair market value. (If effect, must deduct fair market value from the $1.3M camping expenditure limit of the Doug for Mayor camping expedition.)

Yeah, but I doubt any money will actually change hands, which is again, how they're gaming the system. Doug: You got that money from me, right Rob? Rob: Of course.

Not to mention, if they're the ones printing the stuff, they can pretty much set what the "value" was, no?
 
Apparently Amin Massoudi was the one telling reporters that Doug will make the announcement at Diane's house.

So naturally, the first question is why the fuck is Amin Massoudi saying anything about Doug's campaign.

I can see that the salts would address the electrolyte balance, but they wouldn't do anything for dehydration, would they?

You retain water with excess salt in your system. It'd staunch any that might be headed towards the bladder, and help you retain the water from the ramen broth.

Webnames.ca (same street address as Webnames Services Inc.) is a "web solutions provider" [what a tired cliche that is]. In this connection, seems to be a kind of re-seller of domain names.
