Last night, my wife had to take the subway late in the evening. I worried about her safety in a way I wouldn’t have in a pre-Chow era. We also had a break-in at our house a few months ago.
I don't follow municipal politics closely, but I know this much: a city can’t be great when its residents worry about their personal safety. By that measure, Chow has failed. I’ll be voting for @BradMBradford.

Scarborough deserves transit that actually gets people where they need to go, and so much more.

Thank you to Scarborough—Guildwood MPP @AndreaHazelll for your endorsement to get Scarborough moving.

On Monday, October 26, vote for real change and real results.

[Stephen Staley @stevestaley]

Obviously true. I’ve never seen someone smoke crack before I started taking the Queen street car to work, and now I see it once a week. Taking transit shouldn’t require staring at the ground while addicts scream at the walls. Toronto needs change. Vote for Brad.

Watching @CP24 Mayor's debate. IMO Chow looks uncertain &98 uncomfortable. One observation I'd make overall: Mayor Chow attracted broad support by governing as a pragmatic centrist. As the campaign has tightened these past few days she's lurched left to animate her base.

[Erin O'Toole @erinotoole]

I now live in Toronto and was not going to comment on the Mayoral race until the Chow campaign turned very negative in the last two weeks. That negativity turned up in my mailbox today. It leads me to share my strong public support for Brad Bradford for many reasons. 1/4

“The mayor is being very dishonest with voters right now. And it's all scare tactics and fear mongering for a campaign that is out of ideas.”

Toronto Mayoral Candidate Brad Bradford makes his pitch to voters on Moore In The Morning.

@LWaler The provincial legislation literally does not allow privatization. It must stay public. And, the entire reasons for this program is to make housing and economic development costs lower to make those very things more affordable for people.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Twelve years ago today, Corporal Nathan Cirillo was killed while standing sentry at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Several others were injured.

Two days earlier, in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec, Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was killed in a separate attack.

The attacks of October 2014 left a lasting mark on our country, but they did not change who we are.

What a fascinating swing in #topoli

I've seen, in my poll, a public that is almost sad about the state of things in Toronto.
Not anger, as much as frustration. Bradford describes the city being stuck. That's a perfect way to describe how most feel where the city is. Stuck in traffic. Stuck in a housing affordability crisis. Stuck at home cause people feel communities aren't as safe as they should be or the TTC isn't safe enough to use.
The only thing holding many people back from voting for change was

1. Needing to learn more about the alternative (Brad) and

2. Recognizing you could at once like Olivia Chow personally but also think she hasn't performed well as a mayor.

All two things are happening and it's lead to Brad having a now more than 50% chance of winning on Monday.

@briketysplit @BradMBradford He’s literally said he uses that too with his girls, and nothing would change. But I get the desperation. I read the news too.

[Rick Roth @roth]

@BloorStation @dgrdon Things have really changed for you in a day…

A lot of buzz about this @markrmcqueen piece in today’s @TorontoStar. It is our most-read column this morning.

Toronto Water will stay public. Always.

My plan would lower your water bills by up to 25% by paying for long-term infrastructure over the long term.

[Brad Bradford @BradMBradford]

1/2 @TheTorontoSun is backing a plan to get Toronto unstuck:

✅ Freeze property taxes for one year
✅ Do a line-by-line review of the City's budget
✅ Eliminate the municipal land transfer tax to save you up to $18,000

Olivia Chow’s campaign is desperate.
If you don’t believe the polls, just look at how she’s acting.
