As outgoing Toronto Mayor Rob Ford continues to battle cancer, he vowed on his latest visit to city hall on Friday that all Torontonians can count on him to be in his council seat at city hall when the new administration is sworn in on Dec. 2. Addressing reporters outside his office, Ford stated that “I’ll be there, I’ll be here as much as I can.”
Mr. Ford abruptly stepped out of the mayoral race immediately after his cancer diagnosis in September. However, he decided to run for the councillor seat in Ward 2 (Etobicoke North) instead, i.e. an area he represented for a decade before becoming mayor in 2010, which he won. The winner of the mayoral race, John Tory, also beat Ford’s older brother Doug, who stepped in at the last minute. Doug has yet to announce next week if he aims to seek leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives. Mr. Ford wore brown cowboy boots, a black dress shirt and jeans as he signed bobblehead dolls made in his image at city hall Friday afternoon.
Each doll is being sold for $30 and the proceeds are announced to be going to Humber River Hospital and Mount Sinai Hospital, i.e. where he is being treated for a rare form of cancer. By midday, only a few hundred people had lined up to buy the dolls, though there have been long lineups that snaked around the rotunda at city hall last November.
