Re: Ford coming back to work Canada Day
I think it is a very poor reflection on both of our characters, Souv, that I also had that thought... But still, the Dead Pool has been pathetically quiet this year. After Ariel Sharon in January there's been almost no points won at all. All mine are in disgustingly rude good health.

Edit: yes you can. I've done it for you. I see you'd already made your replacement choice (Mubarak).

Re: Ford coming back to work Canada Day
Back on topic, if I may, Rob Ford has been transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital for further investigations & treatment.
There's now a story coming out which suggests that he may well withdraw from the mayoral election and that brother Doug may register as a candidate tomorrow (the deadline for doing so).
Doug is of course even more venal and corrupt than Rob but nowhere near so stupid. I find this a bit worrying to say the least.

It will be interesting to see what happens between now and 2pm tomorrow in terms of the race. No idea if Doug would actually win if he puts his name on instead of Rob. I'm with you that it's worrying, I'd rather have Rob over Doug.
Keeping an eye on this one...

Re: Ford coming back to work Canada Day
Mount Sinai is THE place to go for those with colon/rectal issues. Back in 2005 my Dad had his large intestine removed (!) and it was at Mount Sinai. Great hospital. If Ford is being transferred there, this is a pretty big deal.

Re: Ford coming back to work Canada Day
Rob Ford withdraws.
Rob Ford pulls out of mayoral race, Doug Ford steps in - Toronto - CBC News
His nephew who was running in Rob's old district has also withdrawn, clearing the way for Rob to run as a councillor.
Will be interesting to see if Doug's name is added to the ballot in the next 45 minutes.
Edit:
Alright, so it looks like Rob is registering (or has already registered?) to run in Ward 2, his old ward. Doug is in the process of filing his nomination papers now, and will probably be on the ballot.
Let the circus begin.
