I have absolutely taken my kids to the park with a male friend. Even made a new friend with another Dad at the park with his kids. These dudes up in arms about this would be a lot more chill if maybe their Dad's brought them to parks as kids. Brad's base are loathsome weirdos
Hey @BradMBradford, @tobi, claims if you were elected, a photo like this wouldn’t be posted by City comms. Could you please elaborate on why he’d think that? Would you pass a motion to ban City accounts from posting any photo of two men in it?

John Tory who once endorsed Brad is critical of his water proposal. Thats TWO past mayors and the current mayor So maybe Brad is a bit in over his head when you have THREE people holding the mayor of Toronto position telling you its a bad idea
John Tory on Brad’s water scheme: “you do lose a degree of control when you send it off to one of these even publicly owned corporations…if it ain't broke don't fix it. I mean you know - if the water turns on, it’s clean, it's safe, it's among the best in North America."

I'm grateful for the support of Catherine, Mark, Shree, & Laura and their endorsement of our campaign. I'm here to listen to Scarborough Southwest & to make it a community where we and our families. I'm here to be a Councillor you can count on - for a change. #Ward20 #TOPoli

How much more has Chow's property tax increase cost you in dollars? If you don't actually know how much more your property tax bill is, then I can't really take your complaints seriously. Like, what have you had to give up because if this? Show me how you've suffered.

Bradford is polling at 38% in East York.. where he is a councillor. That’s all you need to know to make your voting decision… he’s a councillor where his own constituency wants him gone.

Conrad Black’s house — $25 million? $30 million?? Brad Brad’s property tax cut would give Con Black ~$18,000 over four years More money for Con Black at the expense of roads, TTC, homeless shelters, police, parks, libraries …. Why???

"It's like your house, your roof is leaking. If you don't fix it, then it's gonna be much worse later. So yes, it was hard. You think I want to do it? But I had to." @OliviaChow explains to @MooreintheAM why she made large property tax increases in her first mayoral term.

Some Toronto property tax math Owner of house assessed at - $5,000,000 pays $30,000 - $750,000 pays $4,500 Assume 3% inflation, four year tax savings of year 1 at 0% for owner of - $5M house -> $2,800 tax cut - $750k house -> $400 tax cut Why Conrad Black loves Brad

His constituents were no longer of any use to him once he decided to run for Mayor. Would also note his extensive advocacy work in Rosedale on behalf of potential donors. While tenants at 500 Dawes couldn't get a phone call returned, Brad worked overtime to draft a motion to help Tessa Virtue paint her Rosedale home in violation of historical guidelines.
Replying to @dmrider
Bradford has gained big support in places like Etobicoke & North York. Observers say to capture support from the political centre to the right, outflanking Chow, his policies couldn’t be aimed at the progressive voters of Beaches-East York

Voting on Monday is an act of resistance. Voting for a working class candidate who understands what it's like to be exploited, under valued& taken fi fool by Ford, Crisanti, Corporations&their executives - gives you your voice back. Shoutout to those who resisted before us.

Etobicoke North would be well served by Ala’a Adib as their local City Councillor. She knows her neighbours, genuinely reflects the community, understands their priorities, and is ready to get results. Ala’a is an inspiring local advocate who already works hard to make Etobicoke North affordable, healthy and safe. It was a pleasure to visit with Ala’a to learn more about what’s important to her community.

🚸This stretch of Jane Street is nerve-wracking to be around. In fifteen minutes you’re likely to see something that’ll spike your cortisol. I recently did a safety audit with experts and there’s a bunch of quick fixes that I want to propose as the next City Councillor for YSW.
