Chow and Bradford face off in first Toronto mayoral debate since Alexander dropped out
World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported44m ago
Former federal Conservative minister Chris Alexander has officially withdrawn from the Toronto mayoral race, announcing his decision just half an hour before advance voting began for the municipal election. Alexander stated that he pulled out because a clear path to electoral success was no longer evident following the weekend.
His departure sets the stage for the first mayoral debate between incumbent Olivia Chow and Councillor Brad Bradford, scheduled for Tuesday night. The debate marks the first major candidate showdown since Alexander's sudden exit from the campaign trail just weeks ahead of election day.
