Michael Ford, the mayor’s nephew, is officially running for city council

After months of rumours, Michael Ford, the son of Rob Ford’s sister Kathy, has officially added his name to the ballot in Ward 2. If he wins in October’s municipal election, he’ll inherit the city council seat currently occupied by Doug Ford, his uncle. Young Mikey is only 20 years old, and at last check was splitting his time between the family label company, his uncle’s mayoral campaign and Humber College, where he attended business school.
