You would be wrong. It only got worse from there. Read more here.

On April 2, 2026, a full month before candidates could even register to run for Mayor of Toronto,  Councillor Brad Bradford was the featured participant at a cash-for-access event in Concord, Ontario billed as “An Evening With Brad Bradford.” Individuals were allowed to meet with Councillor Bradford for fees ranging from $250 to $3,000. 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.

Ford’s grab of the TTC won’t improve our commutes. It will increase fares, make service worse, and leave us with less say over our transit system. Stop Ford from making the TTC more expensive and less reliable.
