Please choose one of the following:

Bob Bratina has chosen to run for mayor.

Which means he won't be back as Ward 2 Councillor.

And he's resigning from CHML.

So, here is your multiple-choice question (or, think of it as a 'Let's Make a Deal' affair, choosing Door 1, 2 or 3...without that final option):

1) He's going 'all-in', believing he'll become mayor.

2) He wants to retire from everything, so has effectively decided to make a dramatic exit from both politics and broadcasting...something that will more resemble a funeral-pyre/self-immolation than a graceful swan-dive.

In contrast to Andrew Dreschel's opinion in this Spec article, my belief is that at best, Mr. Bratina will garner whatever 'hardly better than scraps' percentage the third-place candidate is capable of garnering. So from a political point-of-view, I'm curious as to the actual context of how Mr. Bratina is viewing this fascinating endeavour.

Maybe a local playwright will put pen to paper and come up with an adaptation of all 'this'. Title suggestions, anyone...?

Addendum: It's been suggested to me that this is a precursor to him entering provincial politics. As an attempt to wipe clean the slate. Okaaaaaay...
