Doug Holyday: Norm Kelly

Norm Kelly: Will he restore faith in City Hall? Is he bringing calm to the clam shell? What will he accomplish? , according to Huffington Post. As the crack video scandal began to envelop Ford, Kelly was one of the embattled mayors few defenders, even while other members of the executive committee called him to resign. A few months ago, Norm Kelly was a city councillor representing Scarborough Agincourt. Today he has many of the legislative powers of mayor, formally acting as deputy mayor. With less than a year left until a municipal election, Kelly is more than a placeholder for the next mayor of Toronto. Though he has only been deputy for three months - named so when Fords longtime deputy Doug Holyday made the jump to provincial politics in August - Kelly takes over backlogged committees and a city council still distracted by the international attention put on the mayor.
