Leading candidates for Toronto mayor will lock horns Wednesday night in a debate that comes as the race enters a crucial phase. “The stakes are really, really high for everyone on that stage,” said Myer Siemiatycki, professor emeritus of politics at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). Moderated by Star city hall columnist Edward Keenan and taking place at TMU’s Ted Rogers School of Management, the event is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and will be livestreamed at thestar.com and broadcast on CP24. Bozinoff predicted Wednesday’s debate could be the last best chance for mayoral hopefuls hoping to overtake Chow to put forward a grand idea that will capture voters’ imagination.
