Sad trombone noises

Apparently he lost by 19 votes.

Looking at the list of potential candidates, there are some potentially salient faces and a lot of candidates that I think would lead to similar results like the last several elections against Ford:

• Lee Fairclough - MPP for Etobicoke—Lakeshore, health administrator and former president of St. Mary’s General Hospital, declared May 8, 2026, endorsed by MPPs Lucille Collard and Ted Hsu and former MPPs Murray Elston and Deb Matthews
• Dylan Marando - 38-year-old former political staffer and policy advisor for Justin Trudeau, Kathleen Wynne, and Dalton McGuinty, named to Top 20 Under 40 in Canadian Life Sciences in 2025, declared April 21, 2026

• Navdeep Bains - Former federal Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry (2015–2021) and former MP for Mississauga—Malton and Mississauga—Brampton South
• Stephanie Bowman - MPP for Don Valley West (2022–present)
• Rob Cerjanec - MPP for Ajax (2025–present)
• Nate Erskine-Smith - MP for Beaches—East York (2015–present), federal Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities (2024–2025), finished second in 2023 leadership race
• Vikram Handa - Human rights lawyer and 2014 Liberal Party of Canada candidate in Davenport
• Eric Lombardi - Financial technology consultant, housing activist, Chair of Build Toronto and founder of More Neighbours Toronto
• Marco Mendicino - Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister (2025), former federal Minister of Public Safety (2021–2023) and Immigration (2019–2021), MP for Eglinton—Lawrence (2015–2025)
• Adil Shamji - MPP for Don Valley East (2022–present), withdrew in 2023 leadership race
• Tyler Watt - MPP for Nepean (2025–present)

I hope Marit Stiles plans to ramp up the populist rhetoric in order to fill the vacuum :D
