Former federal Conservative cabinet minister Chris Alexander has officially entered Toronto’s mayoral race, pitching himself as the “outsider” needed to get a city he says is “slightly adrift” back on track.
Alexander registered his candidacy Wednesday at Toronto City Hall, joining a list of 32 other candidates that also includes incumbent Mayor Olivia Chow and Coun. Brad Bradford.. His entry immediately drew criticism from Bradford who told reporters at Toronto City Hall that he’s “never heard of” Alexander, while Chow declined to engage directly with his criticism of her leadership.
