Chris Alexander

It's mono a mono.

The really were only the two main candidates after Chris Alexander dropped out.

And it just felt like the right move, the wrong move could swing the election a different way.

And when the numbers came out, Travis, you saw them a 13 point win.

I've known Olivia Chow for a very long time and I'll say congratulations to her.

However, I think the mayor's office does need to look at the results and say this was not the resounding success that we thought it would be early on in the campaign and that there is a large proportion of folks in the city of Toronto that don't think that it is going in the right direction.

And what do we need to do differently as a council to address those concerns as well? Now, Brad Bradford, I know there's been a lot of analysis in terms of what could he have done right? What could he have done wrong? Would a Tory endorsement would have helped him? What about the Chris Alexander factor? Did that not give him as much runway as he needed?

Richard Warnick is writing columns in the Toronto Star, and I thought it was – I don't think it's a cheap shot to Bradford, and everybody gets an opinion, but it's like his argument was what made conservatives in Toronto, or let's even say the GTA – think that Brad Bradford was their guy and I'm like well who else were they supposed to align behind if not for Bradford who was in way earlier than Chris Alexander and I think I think Alexander coming in late than dropping out we look back and we're like that wasn't a surprise and I'm like who else were people supposed to pick but Bradford

you're absolutely right that's a great pick I mean there's the mayor and then there's whoever the most likely alternative to the mayor is and at the moment it was Bradford and it was It was a problematic choice in some respects because Bradford did find himself from time to time having to navigate the fact that, yes, conservatives were backing him, but he was not a well-known conservative on a whole lot of issues and had voted for a lot of progressive positions over the years.

And had a lot of
