A Ford is driving Toronto city councillors insane. Feels like it was just yesterday. Ontario premier Doug Ford has tabled legislation to slash Toronto city council seats by nearly half—a move that sets precedents for cities across the entire country. Naturally, all hell has broken loose. Lawsuits. Referendums. And now...secession? That's an idea being floated around by Jennifer Keesmaat, the latest contender in the Toronto mayoral race. How is mayor John Tory reacting to these audacious plans? And are any of these ideas actually workable? Matt Elliott takes us inside the machinations going on against the deadline of an election less than three months away.
