Arthur Smitherman has decided to run for city council, and says he'll be voting for Rob Ford.
Trailing Rob Ford in the polls, Toronto mayoral candidate George Smitherman already has a lot to contend with. Now it looks like he's got a bit of sibling rivalry to overcome. His older brother Arthur registered to run for city council last week, and has told local media he's supporting Ford. Arthur and George both say they aren't very close and haven't spoken to each other much since the 1990s, but they insist there's no feud between them. Arthur, a truck driver with no experience in politics, says he doesn't agree with his brother's left-leaning political philosophy. He reportedly met Ford at a jazz festival and the two became friends.
