Doug Holyday

Doug Holyday: Members at Toronto City Hall gathered for a special meeting on Monday to decide what to do about the vacancy left by the departure of Doug Holyday, who was recently elected to the provincial legislature, according to CBC. "Council obviously didn't listen to what the people what in Ward 3 and it's political they don't want me campaigning," Ford said, following the Monday vote and Mayor Rob Ford says he's disappointed that an appointment will be used to fill a vacancy on city council, instead of giving residents a chance to choose their representative. While Ford had been pushing for a byelection, council voted 22-11 in favour of appointing a new councillor in Ward 3 Etobicoke Centre. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
