The hour-and-a-half event hosted by CBC comes with advance voting set to run from June 8 to 13, before election day on June 26
Leading candidates in Toronto’s mayoral race hurled accusations and engaged in heated exchanges during a debate Tuesday as they looked to stand apart from the field before the first ballots are cast later this week.
Coun. Brad Bradford did not attend after welcoming the birth of his second daughter Monday afternoon. “I just don’t think that’s what they need right now,” Hunter said. “They need real change and a real plan.” The latest Forum Research poll indicates Chow continues to grow her lead with support from around 38 per cent of decided voters. The poll of more than 1,000 Toronto residents released Sunday suggests Saunders and Matlow are in the second and third spots, while Bailão and Hunter trail with support in the upper single digits.
Saunders, meanwhile, faced questions about why he had not presented a costed budget plan and whether he would cut services.In response to a yes or no question about whether the city should act as a builder of affordable housing, Saunders was the lone “no” answer, saying the city’s job was to make the approvals process easier to navigate.
