Toronto mayoral candidates will square off Thursday night in their fourth debate in two days.
Following a triple-header on Wednesday that saw the leading hopefuls tussle over the arts, housing, and issues affecting Scarborough, Thursday’s event, which is being held at Isabel Bader Theatre and co-hosted by the Toronto Region Board of Trade and TVO, will focus on the city’s economic competitiveness.
Ana Bailão, Mark Saunders, Josh Matlow, Olivia Chow, Brad Bradford, and Mitzie Hunter are scheduled to attend. The debate begins at 7 p.m. and will be live-streamed on Youtube and TVO.
