I wonder if Chahal might file to run again in Ward 5 on the 20th and if he wins the federal seat, he could withdraw on the 21st. If he loses, he could stand for re-election to Council.

Chahal hasn't formally filed paperwork to withdraw his nomination yet, so I suspect you're right....if he loses the federal election, he just won't withdraw his nomination papers and stay on the ballot for his current ward in the municipal election.
Farkas is so, so far head of the other two mayoral candidates that I can't see them catching up, but Nenshi was almost a total unknown at this stage eleven years ago, so anything can happen.
