ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
Toronto voters replaced their notorious mayor, Rob Ford, on Monday (October 27) and rejected an attempt by his brother to take the city's top job.
"Folks, if you know anything about the Ford family, we never ever, ever give up. And I guarantee, I guarantee in four more years you're going to see another example of the Ford family never, ever, ever giving up," Rob Ford told his supporters at a rally after the vote.
John Tory, a former Progressive Conservative party leader in Ontario, won the Toronto election, in a closer-than-expected race, according to the city's election website, fighting off a strong challenge by the former mayor's brother, Doug Ford.
Tory, a conservative politician and broadcaster, promised to unite a city divided by four years of scandal and vitriol.
With about 99 percent of the ballots counted in Canada's largest city, Toronto's election website showed Tory with 40.3 percent of the vote, ahead of Doug
