Mayoral candidate Brad Bradford centers his platform on public safety and property tax relief as the city prepares for the vote.
Mayoral candidate Brad Bradford is positioning property tax relief and public safety as the cornerstones of his bid to lead Toronto, according to CBC Toronto.
Speaking with Chris Glover on CBC's Metro Morning, Bradford outlined a platform that includes a promise to freeze property taxes if elected. Additionally, the candidate has pledged to scrap the land transfer tax on specific Toronto homes. While Bradford describes his approach as a "vision" for the city's budget, CBC Toronto reports that his opponents have characterized the plan as "reckless."
The proposal has raised questions regarding Toronto's overall fiscal stability. These developments come as the city prepares for a mayoral vote, with incumbent Olivia Chow scheduled for a CBC interview on Friday, October 23.
