I filed my nomination to run for council a mere 2 hours before Ford made his first surprise announcement about changing the wards. I speak elsewhere on the site about the folly of this move, even if one forgets there is a lawsuit in the works, the main problem for Toronto will be getting enough attention from councillors with double the residents to serve.
Below is a video I made the day I filed. It was bittersweet (and a touch prophetic) finishing it knowing that Ford was ramming through the legislation without a lick of consultation. However, while the video does focus on the old ward, my words apply to north of the Danforth as well.
I will represent all residents in the ward equally, and will be a strong voice for the community at city hall.
