The day after Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was hospitalized after suffering severe abdominal pains, he was transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital. It was there it was discovered the large tumour in his abdomen was cancerous. After this diagnosis was made, Ford withdrew from the mayor’s race and was replaced by his brother, Doug. The mayor registered to run as a councillor in Ward 2, the ward he served as councillor for 10 years before being elected mayor. Since 2010, that area has been represented by Doug Ford.
