This is the kind of sleazy politics that turns people off entirely. @fordnation caught behind closed doors saying he will,“open up the #greenbelt”, then publicly saying he will “unequivocally not touch the greenbelt”, to now just opening doing it. It’s all around wrong. #onpoli – at Toronto, Ontario

The results have been certified and official poll-by-poll results for the Toronto elections have been released. Bradford's strongest polls very clearly correlate to the wealthiest neighbourhoods. Explore the map yourself, here: observingthecity.ca/toronto-…

No candidate in Canada has ever received as many votes as Olivia Chow
Don’t know if this has been said yet, but Olivia Chow is the first mayor to ever receive over 500,000 votes

Tonight, the people of Toronto have spoken. And you have given me the extraordinary honour of continuing to serve as your mayor. I am grateful. I am humbled. And I am so proud of our city.

Don't vote the way the wealthy want you to vote in Toronto. Vote for a city that builds housing (unlike Ford) supports healthcare and education (unlike Ford) Brad Bradford = Ford Olivia Chow = Progress

This morning, environmental titan David Suzuki joined me in speaking about the risks to our safety and pocketbooks that come with Bradford’s proposal to privatize our water. I’m grateful to have David’s support. His decades of leadership on the environment remind us that protecting our water means protecting our communities and our environment for future generations. Our water should never be for sale.

Brad Bradford wants to hand over control of our water system to Doug Ford and open the door to privatization. Toronto's drinking water isn't up for grabs, Brad. Hands off!

A promise made. A promise kept. 🤝 The Scarborough Busway is officially open — more than six months ahead of schedule. Over 100,000 riders every week will have a faster trip between Scarborough Centre and Kennedy. And we’re not done yet. Yes, I’m going to build the Scarborough East LRT, and freeze TTC fares so Scarborough residents can thrive.

#NEW: Olivia Chow pushes back on Brad Bradford's call for an independent line-by-line review of Toronto's spending, saying the city already does one every year. #TOpoli "What we won't do is hire a private consulting company that costs a lot of money to tell us things we already know."

You’ll never catch me feeling unsafe in a place that has a coffee shop that sells $9 sweetened condensed milk lattes but you do you Brad Brad
More than a quarter of a million people pass through Union Station every day. It should make commuters feel safe, visitors feel welcome, and investors feel like they’ve arrived in a city that has its act together. As Mayor, I’ll put a permanent, visible police presence inside Union Station and raise the standard for safety and cleanliness across our transit system. Toronto can do better. Real change means setting a higher standard. And delivering real results. Join us: bradford26.ca/sign-up

Toronto now has the density to support this kind of street transformation. Cars currently take up an outsized share of our public space, despite not doing most of the heavy lifting when it comes to moving people around. That honour belongs to walking, cycling and transit. I’d love to hear candidates in the mayoral and council races talk about how they will transform our streets to make Toronto quieter, safer and greener. After all, giving people attractive alternatives to driving is one of the most effective ways to reduce congestion. Paris, London and New York have already shown how to do this.

Dear humans around the world: That thunderclap you just heard came from Gander, Newfoundland. At 92 years old, Jean Chretien just gave the speech of his life. With the most memorable, important words of his life. Because he speaks for what most Canadians are feeling in our stomachs and hearts today, better than anyone else could. God bless him. God bless Canada. #911Remembrance

The Science Centre was closed so DeGasperis could have the land. Ford announced the extension of the Ontario Line to the "science centre" right after DeGasperis closed on the adjacent parcel. It was always a bait and switch.
The Science Centre’s roof has survived heavy winter snow storms and now a violent rain and hail storm. This roof continues to have more integrity than the Ford government. A team of us are working on ways to reopen this architectural masterpiece to the public again.

Ontario's new subway cars: Maryland. Our highway maintenance: Texas. Our teachers' supplies: American-owned Staples. Doug Ford has been playing Captain Canada for 18 months – but every one of these deals still stands. Recall the legislature so we can cancel the U.S. contracts.
