Yeah, like I will be legit afraid of this man winning reelection unless a) he dies (including the non-zero possibility of him spontaneously combusting), b) he is actually arrested, or c) the election finally gets here and he loses.
There will be a large number of candidates this election and we're not implementing ranked voting (where you vote for a first second third choice and the numbers are re-run until somone gets 50% + 1) until the 2018 city elections. With the liklihood of dozens of candidates, a 20-30% voting bloc is a scary and massive advantage (true numbers of diehard supporters are unknown due to wild and inconsistent polling, but they're definitely out there and you meet them everywhere). The one blessing will be that Ford's campaign staff will be non-existant or a total disaster and his get-out-the-vote machine will basically be non-existant. Ford Nation are by definfition people you wouldn't call the volunteering type.
B is still possible, apparently. A little birdie told me that the police are still holding about as much material as they've released and that the investigation is still ongoing.
While I'm sure I could find a few Ford supporters among the Toronto Police Service, Ford's continuinal refusal to speak with the cops under any circumstances and his newfound enemity with the chief can't be winning him any friends with them either.
