Eddie Francis has announced that he is not seeking re-election as Mayor of Windsor.
My predictions:
(1) Just prior to the February provincial by-elections, Eddie will announce that he's running for the Tories in Windsor West (nominated candidate Henry Lau will contract the same illness that
Steve Ryan got in Etobicoke-Lakeshore)
(2) The Ontario PCs will turn over their Thornhill seat to the Liberals, and run third in Tim Hudak's backyard (his hometown of Fort Erie is in Niagara Falls riding).
(3) Within a few days, Hudak will announce that he wants to spend more time with his family, in order to circumvent Wynne from calling a snap election.
(4) Eddie Francis, a Maronite Catholic, visible minority candidate with a 15-year record of success in an Tory-unfriendly area, will announce that he is seeking the Ontario PC leadership.
This is the nightmare I used to frighten my mother. She lives in Windsor and is NOT an Eddie fan.
