So for those keeping score:
Rob Ford got in trouble for not repaying about $3000... and his punishment might be limited to getting kicked out and then re-elected weeks later... and not repaying the $3000.

If there is a by-election then city of Toronto gets tagged for about $7mil. Who is getting punished by the judge again?

Is it just me or is this like getting out of a speeding ticket if you can convince the people in your car to run a chinese fire drill?
Haven't you learned, the end user always gets screwed in the end...
I'm not sure he would win a by-election. Tough to say if his public opinion is up or down... he get's a lot of bad press but you only hear about complainers not people who like something. Politics makes people fairly vocal.

Who would run against him????

From what I have been reading, if Olivia Chow decides to run, she would make a worthy opponent. I dont live in Toronto, nor do I follow Toronto politics much but this is the name I have heard on the news channels as the one who could knock Ford out of office.

Maybe she could. For those unaware... She is Jack Layton's Widow.
One of the core councilors...

She has way more of a chance than Smitherman did.
