Brad Bradford is on the verge of a remarkable comeback. We assess his record — and what his mayoralty might look like

On a clear morning last week, Brad Bradford stood at the top of the hill of Riverdale Park, and talked about a comeback.

With the Toronto skyline glittering behind him, the mayoral candidate declared to assembled reporters that under his leadership, the city that many feel is foundering could reach its full potential.

“Every comeback always starts the same way, right? It’s long odds. It’s people that say it can’t be done,” he said. “I know that Toronto can work better.”

Anything is better than Chow but voting stupid is a matter of civic pride in Hogtown

The other 40% just moved here last week, LOL.
