Brad Bradford must resign his council seat if he runs for Mayor of Toronto and NO we shouldn't allow "neutral" Russians in the 2024 Olympics

Today on Now & Next:

I know it's allowed. I know it's legal. But Toronto City Councillor Brad Bradford should announce he's resigning his Ward 19 Beaches- East York seat before he registers as a candidate for mayor of Toronto. His housing announcement at City Hall makes it abundantly clear running for mayor while keeping his council seat, engaging in decision making, preening for media gives him (and any other councillor) an unfair advantage. It also blurs the lines between campaigning and his constituency work.

Also today:

Some former Canadian Olympians are demanding the COC withdraw its support of "neutral" Russian athletes being allowed to compete at the 2024 games in Paris. Former Canadian Triathlon Coach, Barrie Shepley asks how can we allow Russian athletes to compete next year when it may take a generation to rebuild the sports infrastructure in Ukraine?
