Starred are new councilors that are new and there based on what I've heard a very very little bit about.
IMO the top 11 are going to be pushing forward with a Ford agenda as long as they're included in the process. Many do have enough of a mind of their own it won't be a simple Rob Ford show. Still, they'll be happy with many of the things he wants to accomplish.
The next seven are ones I'm fairly certain will be in the camp or close to it, especially as long as the political tides appear to be behind him.
If he plays his cards well and hits a couple solid doubles early in the term, he may get used to having majority support for any number of things. I hope he stays his intransigent self, but he campaigned so well I have to assume he'll know how to campaign among the 44 as well.
You're forgetting Mammolitti. As we've seen, he'll sell his soul to the devil and was already pre-emptively kissing Ford's ass during the campaign.
Still, that's not a majority of council. 19 VS 26.
What's your take on the flip side? Councillors that won't side with Ford by any measure and those that would be hard pressed to support some of his most tight fisted ideas?
