Sorry, that was a poor choice of words. I meant that the only three people have officially stated their intention to run. Mike Layton is considering it as well.
 
I haven't seen him comment on a run for mayor yet.

Mammoliti won’t say if he’ll run for mayor if he loses provincially but says he will run for council in some capacity. Election period changes this year make this possible

He will slink back to his safe council seat.

I wonder if Mikey Ford could run this year? His name alone can get him at least 30% of the vote. He has the Ford brand and the populist appeal, and isn't he a tad more 'soft' on social issues? Plus, he'd have the endorsement of the (probable) Premier.

Six people are registered to run for mayor now and five of them stand no chance of winning. Tory is going to run away with this.

When he was elected I thought he would not stand again as he wouldn't take the hassle, but the Ford-Trump era of media management and his successful courting of the suburbs - or at least their councillors, plus his incumbent factor (retooling his 250K follower mayoral account into a campaign account) and his lock up of Bay St makes this a walkover.

And his daughter is running again in midtown. A reliable vote in the bank, albeit now out of 47. (at least until she runs for the former seat of Joe Oliver, Former Minister of Finance and Member of Parliament, Eglinton-Lawrence)
