According to John Oakley, the answer is yes. He mentioned on air Thursday that Rick Lee is among the 102 candidates running to replace John Tory at Toronto City Hall. I checked the list and yes, there is a Rick Lee on the endless list of non-famous candidates. And yes, there is a Rick Lee listed as the Program Manager at Q107. 

Oakley claims it's the same guy. What he didn't explain is why he bothered to get the 25 required signatures and put down the $200 deposit fee to enter a race he obviously isn't going to win. He filed on the very last day, May 12th.

There are a ton of people running, but it doesn't appear Mr. Lee is ready to give up his day job. Unlike some fringe candidates, he doesn't seem to have a platform, a candidacy office or even a website. 

But given his current position, I can only imagine what he might stand for. He may well promise to manage Money - but only the version by Pink Floyd on Dark Side of The Moon. 

I'm guessing he wants to build a new stairway at City Hall, but only to Heaven.

He may not like cages, which is why he favours a Free Bird.  

And like Bruce Springsteen, he seems to have been Born To Run.

Why he registered isn't clear, but perhaps it's just a lark. If it is him, the people at Q may be forced to cast a ballot for him or else! That said, I hope he gets at least 107 votes!
