So long as Mike Yen doesn't. He's having great fun trumpeting his second place finish in the last election.

From the Rob Ford thread:
Sounds like Thomson was shopping around for a ward race where she stands a chance. In fact this whole mayoral run now seems like a strategy for setting herself up to be a councillor. Earlier in the term she also lobbied heavily to get an interim appointment to cover Doug Holiday's empty seat. She seems so desperate to get onto council without ever having actually done anything in a ward to deserve it. Say what you want about legacy candidates, at least they spend years working as assistants within their wards before actually running for office.

Could a good soul point me in the direction of where I could find a list of the candidates in each ward?

Well, we now have races in all 44 wards with Sarfraz Khan challenging Josh Matlow and a 3 person race in Ward 25 with Tanya Hostler throwing her hat in the ring...
Anybody have information on either of them?

It really does smack of opportunism that living in Toronto-Centre as she does she feels she can just walk over into the ward next door and be their councillor.

Hopefully Andray Domise.

I'd like to see Munira Akubar take the seat however given the seeming groundswell out there I'd expect it will be Domise...

What makes you think she wants to win? She seems to enjoy being the crazy in the race.

Really hoping for Andray Domise to win against Mike Ford. He would be an excellent character to bring in to city hall.

David Soknacki for Councillor. Maybe against one of Ford's lapdogs. If Soknacki could win a council seat, he would be my choice for Chair of the TTC.

Why would he want to do that? He's already been a councillor, already been a budget chief. He offered himself up for consideration, presented a strong approach to the city's challenges, and the people who elected a clown and a criminal to be their Mayor couldn't rouse themselves to give him the least attention. He must have better things to do.

Well, Ron Moeser might offer his seat to him...
