    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.

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.
