Brad Bradford has and is my biggest opp so trust me I take great joy in making this and making sure he’s never the Mayor of Toronto #bradbradford #toronto #torontolife #politics #election Bradford has and is my biggest opp so trust me I take great joy in making this and making sure he’s never the Mayor of Toronto. Here's the thing with Toronto mayoral races that people don't realize is that they don't run under political parties like America where it's Democrat or Republican. People don't realize what end of the political aisle they fall on and Brad Bradford is a conservative to his core. He just is. John Tory has and still is a conservative and those two, they're like this. I think it's extremely rich that Brad Bradford is coming out here standing ten toes down looking like Mr. Clean thinking that he can run a platform off of FIFA, a $380 million bill. You can literally go to the city hall website where all these policies were passed who voted for Toronto to host FIFA back in 2022, who voted for Toronto to host FIFA knowing that it would incur a $380 million bill for us. FIFA is a very fun event. Don't get me wrong, I love the morale for the city, but at the same time, FIFA famously leaves cities on the line for a lot of cost, operating cost, especially and maybe that wasn't the best idea to vote for that, knowing that the city was sitting at $857 million dollar operating deficit and then adding an event that would occur a $380 million dollar deficit. Right. The infamous Toronto snow removal contracts that were passed by John Tory. Oh, who's name is that who voted for a contract that would run until 2029 that literally let the city be buried because it was a bad snow removal contract? Right. Brad Bradford. Like if that is not the conservative playbook to its core, I really don't know what is. Literally trying to hold a progressive candidate on the line for not cleaning up the mess that you helped create and then you have the audacity to bring Zohran into this. Keep the princess out of your mouth. I've said it once and I'll say it again, Olivia Chow is key to the bus. Diva. You need to start throwing people under the bus. People are not smart enough to understand who is responsible for what. Because mind you, before Olivia Chow got in, John Tory passed a $16.2 billion budget and then resigned. A budget mind you that cut funding for TTC, pro-police budget and mind you that was a budget that Brad Bradford voted for. I'm not saying Olivia Chow is completely faultless, but the fact is she was dealt a massive shit sandwich that was thoughtfully prepared by John Tory and Brad Bradford. So yeah, Brad Bradford is a mayor is extremely harmful to Toronto because it's going to be John Tory politics all over again of defunding public services and privatizing as much as they possibly can. So yeah.
