The main contenders Doug Ford, Cadigia Ali
NOW’s pick Cadigia Ali
Other than inheriting a printing business from his father and being a prominent Rotarian, Ford is awfully short on qualifications for councillor. And being so busy managing his younger brother’s mayoral campaign, he apparently never bothered to put together a local platform. Ali is the very antithesis of these nepotistic shenanigans. A Somali Canadian, a physician by training, dedicated volunteer and health educator, Ali has proven to be a voice for the underrepresented, and as councillor she would be on the side of progressive environmental, housing and transit policies.
