The election is still months away, but already the battle lines are drawn. On one side, we have Mayor Olivia Chow — a tough and tested lefty — on the other, Councillor Brad Bradford — an aggressive “pragmatist.” Though other contenders may yet join the race, it’s doubtful any will have a genuine shot at victory.
Chow, of course, has been mayor since winning the byelection called in 2023 after the sudden resignation of her predecessor, John Tory, following a sex scandal. A veteran NDPer, she did time as a downtown councillor and a federal parliamentarian before assuming Toronto’s top job.
Both suck up to Islamists and from what I am hearing of Bradford he’s no savior.
