I heard some folks are wondering how I ended up being named Brad Bradford.

Let’s talk about it

[Ian Barr @ibarr]

@samforcanada @jaimestein @NVanCaroline @Conservative_BC Jaime is one of the kindest, open minded, caring and intelligent souls you could have in a candidate. I only wish someone of his character was running in my riding. I encourage you to get to know the person and ideas before you put the party judgement hat on.

@sarkonakj @Advocates_Soc Accountability is the whole reason journalism is so valued and needed. Your columns are proof of this.

[David Jacobs @DrJacobsRad]

In politics, there's something called "The Big Mo".

That refers to momentum. If you've got it at the right time, you become an unstoppable force.

Look at these polls tightening. From 17, to 9, to 6 points in a matter of days.

Bradford's got the momentum!

@JesseBarfield29 "our tongue is like a rudder on a ship". Love that Jesse and so true. We're all a work in progress.

@JoeyVotto Caleb Joseph did a thoughtful breakdown that I thought provided the nuance of what Vladdy was referring to. It made sense, but not his best moment. He's understandably frustrated with himself. His comment about the fans was weird though. They've been there for him and patient.

@ambermac This is what my family experiences every time we take the TTC. It saddens me.

Beyond transit, downtown has become a disgrace. My 10 year old has been exposed to human feces on the sidewalks, open drug usage, & people masturbating in public.

We need leadership change.

Another hour in traffic.
Another late pickup.
Another delayed subway.

Toronto wasn’t supposed to be this hard.

Let’s get Toronto moving again.

@KeeganMatheson I like this deal. Toronto has a glut of ss prospects with high potential. Soriano has high velo but struggles with command. I think Walker can help him just like he did Cease. We needed a controllable starter and not sure about this off-season.

[Ian Barr @ibarr]

@jacksonian And not a great return. Neither prospect can hit.

Holy crap hahaha LEGEND😂😂

CBC invited a Canadian winery owner on to trash Trump

and he comes back with "Trump's 50% tariffs are still less than EVERY OTHER province in CANADA puts on us"

Provinces in Canada have mandatory markups (tariffs) of up to 70%

[Ian Barr @ibarr]

@MACNational Simply put, Canadians see through the ideological hate invited to speak here.

Their record speaks for itself. We see through the deception.

[Daniel Schatz @drdanielschatz]

It’s time to stand with the people of Iran who are fighting for their freedom✌🏻

So where is Greta?
Where are the flotilla activists?
Where are the self-righteous liberals who have spent the past two years condemning Israel on the streets of London, Stockholm, and New York?
Where are the loud, ever-present humanitarians and social justice warriors?

They are nowhere to be seen.

Because the truth is simple: they never cared about human rights. Their outrage was never about freedom, dignity, or universal values. It was selective political theater masquerading as moral conviction.

When the cause is not about spreading chaos in the streets, demonizing Israel, or posing with Palestinian scarves, the sense of urgency suddenly disappears. When women in Iran are beaten, imprisoned, and killed by an Islamist regime, there are no marches. No symbols. No moral sermons.

This silence exposes the entire project. For these activists, human rights are not universal principles but props in an ideological performance. They show up where it brings status, visibility, and the “right” enemy—and vanish when the struggle demands courage, consistency, and intellectual honesty.

Iran exposes them.
And the silence speaks volumes.

@SeanFraserMP I struggle with this comment and the lack of accountability within the governing body that you're part of. CDNs have been demanding tougher laws, tougher sentencing and eliminating the ridiculous way that sentences are evaluated. Your team has ignored it. What's going to change?

[Melissa Lantsman @MelissaLantsman]

A disgusting and cowardly act — Canada’s National Holocaust Monument was defaced overnight.

Parliament is just steps away — that’s where dissent belongs. Defacing sacred ground in honour of the millions of victims of the Holocaust in the middle of the night with spray paint isn’t protest, it’s vandalism.

Someone this pathetic deserves to be identified and held accountable.

[Ian Barr @ibarr]

@JustinTrudeau You've been "condemning" things far too long. It's a pathetic deflection to avoid action, to make hard choices that go against preserving a specific voter base in order to do what's right for Western democratic values. We need leadership. We need moral clarity. We need a new PM.

[Kevin Vuong 🇨🇦 @KevinVuongxMP]

Our so-called “leaders” continue to embarrass #Toronto with their feckless #cowardice.

Tolerating intolerance does not make you a martyr for diversity, it makes you cowards who have betrayed the people who elected you to uphold our laws & keep us safe, all of us—including Jews.

[Ian Barr @ibarr]

@MACCMuslims Riiight....and telling children to wear blue because they're "colonizers" while shouting antisemtic comments is educational. This is unacceptable and not tolerated here. If you want to be taken seriously you need to be willing to stand against immoral acts. This is/was wrong.
