The Liaison Strategies poll suggests Brad Bradford narrowly leads the campaign with 49 per cent support, while Olivia Chow has 47 per cent amongst decided and leaning voters surveyed. Three per cent of respondents picked another candidate in the race.

He’s also ahead in the latest Mainstreet poll. Not great.

    Jesus H Fuck. How did Brad Bradford get here? He’s such a lousy counsellor for the beaches and wants to privatize our water?

    He’s just a back door entry point for anyone with money and he’ll do whatever they ask.

    Chows not great, but Bradford will absolutely destroy this city and will make Fat Fuck Ford gleefully happy in doing so.

    This won’t end well for the city if this useless man child wins the election.

    What we really need is better choices though. That’s really the sad part in all of it.

    I’m so dismayed at what this city is becoming and I’ve lived here my entire life, long before the amalgamation.

      This time the conservative will give us all low taxes and new high paying jobs without wrecking services and infrastructure, I promise ;)

      Brad Bradford should be Mayor of Bradford. Privatise water, an idea so stupid it will get him elected, just like Rob Robford.

      How we got here is the world kinda sucks right now, and people want to blame the most convenient person, even if a lot of things are not municipal issues. It’s like the idiots who went to protest provincial health care measures at Parliament.

        Tax increase…it’s literally as simple as that. People are selfish and short sighted.

        Person: oh my subsided suburban life costs a tiny bit more or my transfer of properties. (Lowest tax in major cities in North america).

        Same Person: why do my kids schools or my roads suck.

        …

        Idiocracy.

          I think that since Olivia Chow assumed office that there’s been a constant stream of emotion-based thought ending statements like the one I responded to.

          Just being incredibly dismissive of her but without anything to base it on. “We need real choices” - as if Olivia hasn’t been the only mayor in Toronto in quite some time to offload so much cost back to the province and improve the social services (if even marginally) than any predecessor. Really strange.

            Because they are deflecting. She hit home owners pocket a little bit which is enough. But they dont want to admit that they don’t want to fund services etc.
