Ted McMeekin for mayor.
The Liberal MPP roars with laughter when I ask if it’s true, as an anonymous source told me, that he intends to run in 2014.
Then he draws breath and becomes serious.
“I really miss the municipal scene and I would never rule anything out.”
McMeekin, ex-mayor of the former town of Flamborough, hastened to add that he loves his current job as minister of agriculture and rural affairs.
But he says not a day goes by that he’s not encouraged by somebody to consider running for mayor.
“I’ve had hundreds of people ask me, anecdotally and in passing.”
