Notorious Toronto mayor set to return
Print Edition
CRACK-SMOKING Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is to return to work today more popular than ever after a stint in rehab for his internationally publicized alcohol and drug abuse.
Ford, 45, moved into second or third place in the lead-up to municipal elections in October, according to the latest polls, despite being absent from the campaign trail for a month to attend a rehab center.
His surprise rebound in popularity comes after support plunged to a low of 32 percent at the beginning of June when he disappeared from the limelight.
“With his return now imminent, interest in the mayor is beginning to grow, and with it, as usually happens, his approval,” said Lorne Bozinoff of Forum Research, which published a poll showing Ford behind frontrunner Olivia Chow by seven percentage points.
“We’ll see if this is a temporary phenomenon, or a sustained surge which will carry him back into the campaign he left so abruptly,” added Bozinoff.
