It’s been a minute since
It’s been a minute since the shocking announcement that Toronto’s Mayor, John Tory, was stepping down in light of the fact that he had an inappropriate relationship with a much younger female staffer. Toronto is now waking up to the fact that there will be a mayoral by-election in a matter of weeks. Elections are a fairly regular occurrence in a thriving democracy. Every few years, the calls go out: candidates wanted of all types and stripes to run for elected office federally, provincially, and municipally. It’s actually pretty remarkable when you think about it. Anyone who wants to put their name forward can, just like that, even though probably 90% of the people that do are going to lose. To take the plunge and try to get the job requires a ton of effort, sacrifice, and more. With us to discuss what’s actually involved in running for office:
