  "summary": "Toronto mayoral candidates Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford are set to face off in a Scarborough-focused debate, the second of its kind in a series. The debate, organized by the Scarborough Community Renewal Organization and moderated by CityNews' Cynthia Mulligan, will focus on the 6 wards comprising over 620,000 residents in Scarborough. Transit is anticipated to be a key issue, along with affordability, public safety, and congestion. The candidates will also be asked to discuss property tax increases, as previously seen in a previous debate. The debate will be live on CityNews 24/7.",
