Looks like the campaign before the campaign is well underway: and according to an internal poll obtained by QP Briefing, Brad Bradford might just be the candidate to watch.
The memo, prepared by Abacus Data and circulated at an exclusive gathering held in Royal York this Wednesday, reveals that while Mayor Olivia Chow remains a strong incumbent, she has vulnerabilities. And voters seems to be wanting change.
The event itself, a closed-door meeting of roughly 50 organizers and fundraisers that counted with a mix of Liberals and Conservatives, was billed as an informal discussion about the city’s future, but the buzz in the room made it clear: the race for 2026 has already begun, and Bradford is getting organized.
