Rabble Rousers on: The Race for Toronto Mayor Candidates 101

Toronto residents have a lot of candidates to chose from. Rabble Rousers Santiago Helou Quintero and Jessa McLean breakdown the top six candidates in the Race for Toronto Mayor.

They go through the platforms, messaging and political records trying to makes sense of this crowded ballot of candidates.

The episode starts off with what the hosts consider the front running right-wing candidates, current councillors Brad Bradford, Ana Bailão and former Police Chief Mark Saunders. They then discuss three more choices for Mayor that progressives might be eyeing, Olivia Chow, Chloe Brown and Josh Matlow.
