After four years of a mayor who admits to smoking crack-cocaine, hangs with drug dealers and is video taped belligerently drunk, repeatedly, Toronto has a chance at normalcy.
Rob Ford was replaced by conservative John Troy on Monday night, who also beat Rob Ford's brother, Doug Ford, who replaced Rob in the mayoral race after her dropped out citing health issues, according to The Associated Press.
The race was closer than expected, with Troy getting 40 percent of the votes and Doug Ford 34 percent, TheLedger.com reported.
"The people have spoken and tonight we begin the work of building one Toronto," Tory, a former Progressive Conservative party leader from Ontario and broadcaster, said, TheLedger.com reported. "Torontonians want to see an end to the divisions that have paralyzed city hall for the last few years. I hear you."
After Rob was diagnosed with a malignant liposarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer, he decided not to run for re-election as mayor and nominated his campaign manager and brother, Doug, to run for mayor in his place, CNN reported.
Rob won his brother's former city council seat for the Etobicoke district in western Toronto with almost 59 percent of the votes, according to CNN.
Ford also said he plans to run in the next election for mayor, the AP reported. "I will be the first person to sign up in 2018," Rob Ford told the Toronto Sun.
The mayor said he would continue to fight for the ordinary people and hinted at bigger goals in the 2018 election, according to the AP. "I look forward to the next four years. I can't wait. I'm just warming up, trust me."
