Failure to Launch: Brad Bradford's Bad Announcement Week

You might think that an integrity complaint over an alleged cash-for-access event in Concord (where lobbyist-organized donors paid $250 to $3,000 to get face time with a sitting councillor) would be the worst thing to happen to Brad Bradford in his first week on the campaign trail. You would be wrong. It only got worse from there. Read more here.

The event was orchestrated by lobbyist Nick Ainis and held in Concord, Ontario, far from Councillor Bradford’s constituents in Beaches—East York and even Toronto residents. Read more here.
