Chow, Bradford go head-to-head in Scarborough-centric debate

Toronto mayoral candidates Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford participated in a Scarborough-focused debate, marking their second consecutive night of head-to-head campaigning. The event highlighted the importance of Scarborough, a region comprising six wards and over 620,000 residents, as a critical battleground for the candidates, with transit expected to be a primary issue of discussion.

The debate occurred shortly after candidate Chris Alexander withdrew from the race, leaving Chow and Bradford as the clear front-runners. Their direct competition follows weeks of escalating tension as the mayoral race narrows into a two-person contest.
