Brad Bradford to officially file his papers to run for Toronto Mayor
Greg Brady welcomed Brad Bradford, councillor for Beaches - East York and 2026 Mayoral Candidate to the studio to discuss his campaign which is anchored in fixing three things: the Three C’s. Crime, because Torontonians should feel safe in their own city. Walking home, on the bus, on the subway platform, in the parks where their children and pets play. Congestion, because time is the one thing we cannot get back, and the time tax City Hall levies on Torontonians climbs higher every year. Cost, because families and small businesses are being asked to pay more for a city that delivers less. The math has stopped working, and Torontonians know it. Learn more about your ad choices.
