i think that he has called himself Ford for some time, such that the question is why he needed, or if did not need wanted, to change his legal name to Ford recently.
(Just wondering, without researching - does a candidate have to prove his or her legal name when registering to run? could he get his MD Ford vanity plate without proof of his legal name? And of course he might of done it just to show how much he appreciates having been bought and paid for by Unca Doug.)
Miley would just have to of make the name change "public", like in a newspaper, and inform the proper agencies link CRA. I don't know the time requirements for changing your name. Once done it is his legal name, and there is no need to give his birth name.
