Paul Ainslie

Paul Ainslie is a Toronto city councillor. Initially appointed as an interim councillor, he now serves as a regular councillor for Ward 43 Scarborough East.

On February 1, 2006, City Council appointed Ainslie to fill the vacancy in Ward 41 that was created when Bas Balkissoon was elected in a provincial by-election in the riding of Scarborough-Rouge River.

A condition of the appointment was that he may not run as a candidate in the 2006 election. However, when councillor David Soknacki announced his intention not to run in the 2006 election, Ainslie put his name forward as a candidate to replace him in Ward 43. Ainslie was formerly an executive assistant to Soknacki.

While Soknacki supported Ainslie's renewed candidacy, a video surfaced which showed Ainslie promising to Toronto City Council not to run. "I will not run in Ward 41, or any other ward in the city." [http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20061004.AINSLIE04/TPStory/TPNational/Ontario/] His campaign literature urged voters to "return" him to city hall.

Despite the controversy, Ainslie was elected in Ward 43.
