Raising interest rates right now is a massive mistake. Higher rates won’t get oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz or lower tariffs on Canadian businesses. They will only make life more expensive for Canadian families and workers, punishing them for something they can’t control.

NEW: Internal government data shows Ontario’s hallway health care problem is as bad as it’s ever been. More from @AidanChamandy: thetrillium.ca/news/health/o…

The sun rises, the morning comes, and so ends another campaign. There will no doubt be plenty of analysis, hot takes, and opinions in the days ahead. I’m not sure there’s enough whisky in the world to keep up with it all, so I think I’ll sit this one out. But I do have a few thoughts. To @BradMBradford: I’d go to war for you any day. The grace and class you showed in your concession speech last night offered just a glimpse of the truly outstanding human being you are. You are, without question, the hardest-working candidate I’ve ever worked for. Not once did I doubt that your heart was in the right place or that you were the right man for the job. It was an honour to serve you, and is an even greater honour to call you a friend. They say you should never meet your heroes. Well, I got to work alongside quite a few of mine. People I’ve spent years admiring, learning from, and looking up to. To have had the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with this team was an opportunity I'll always be grateful for. An extraordinary group of people, and one I’d stand in the trenches with again without blinking. And finally, Toronto. This is an incredible city, and it deserves nothing short of greatness. I believe that when you look at the dial of a world-time watch, Toronto should be right there alongside the greatest cities on earth, not just in name - but in ambition, opportunity, and achievement. That potential hasn't gone anywhere. Realizing it will take all of us, regardless of who we supported in this election. I know the people who made up Team Bradford will step forward and contribute constructively and productively into building this city up. I know I certainly will. Congratulations to Team Chow on their victory. Cheers to the city we all love.
