Edwards was a physician in Toronto, specializing in internal medicine. He was fifty-eight years old at the time of the election, and had worked in the area for twenty-five years, as well as participating in international relief efforts through Doctors Without Borders.
Edwards received 7,726 votes (30.51%) for a second-place finish against New Democratic Party Premier Bob Rae. Later in the year, he was cited by Liberal Member of Provincial Parliament Mike Colle as opposing an omnibus bill brought forward by the newly-elected Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris. Colle quoted Edwards as saying, "This is not what I ran for".
