City council candidates re-file paperwork for 25-ward election
(The Star Television)
 


Premier Doug Ford’s victory in cutting the size of Toronto’s city council left incumbents resigned to signing up against one another on Thursday morning and other candidates abandoning the race entirely.Registrations by Councillors Paula Fletcher and John Campbell created at least two new matchups, with Fletcher facing off against longtime friend and ally Mary Fragedakis in Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth, and Campbell up against fellow first-term councillor Stephen Holyday in Ward 2 Etobicoke Centre.At lunchtime there were nearly 350 candidates for councillor and school boards signed up to register, including those who had previously signed up under a 25-ward system.

Recognized as one of the people fighting Ford in court, Moise said he’s been getting a lot of sympathy messages.Read more: Toronto running out of legal options to challenge city council cuts before electionBill 5: The winners, the losers and the in-betweenersTories relieved by Court of Appeal ruling that negates need for notwithstanding clause“I’m sad, but I’m not dead,” he told the Star. “I just have to keep going.”“I still have a lot to contribute and a lot of things are ...
