Toronto mayoral candidates urged to ‘get back to basics’ ahead of debate
An advocacy group says candidates should focus on safety, affordability and economy
Toronto's mayoral race enters its final phase as three candidates—Chris Alexander, Brad Bradford, and incumbent Olivia Chow—prepare for tonight's debate. Scheduled to air on CityNews and CityNews 24/7 at 7 p.m., the debate will be moderated by Nicole MacIntyre, Editor-in-Chief of The Toronto Star. The Toronto Star and the Toronto Region Board of Trade are the hosts of this event.
To catch the live debate, viewers can tune in on CityNews 24/7 or access it on the outlet's website. Early voting for the municipal election kicks off on Tuesday, October 6, and concludes on Sunday, October 11, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Each voter will receive their ballot in the mail in the coming days. On election day, October 26, polling stations will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Recent polling data reveals that Chow maintains a slim seven-point lead over Bradford among decided and leaning voters. However, this advantage has narrowed in recent days.
