@ericwickham.ca Pinnedthe fun thing about working in small market news is I have hundreds of bylines like this and there's nothing I can do about it.
@ericwickham.caYour honour, I have to say, you smell terrific
@ericwickham.caI can't wait until October 26 when I can go back to just paying attention to the province, the one level of government that never says or does anything incoherent.
@ericwickham.ca"That's been my position from the start," said the man who has changed his position on this specific issue more than once.
@thelocal.toReposted by @ericwickham.caFormer staff say he drove them to tears. Some colleagues call him a bully. But Brad Bradford is betting that this election day, enough Torontonians will be as angry as he seems to be.

@emmaarkell.bsky.socialReposted by @ericwickham.caCandidates for the BC Conservatives have likened education about the 2SLGBTQ+ community to "grooming," referenced Jan. 6 conspiracies and questioned COVID vaccine safety. Right after we published this, tweets from another candidate surfaced where he joked about killing pro-Palestine activists.

@ericwickham.caMy job is to remember and it can sometimes take a toll, so I don't blame you.
@ericwickham.caBradford did not distance himself from von Lichtenberg. A spokesperson told me
"Brad meets thousands of residents at hundreds of events across the city, and he'll keep doing it, because a mayor should listen to everyone."
I guess that includes people who do this:
@ericwickham.caIn photos of the event posted online, a man resembling Meir Weinstein, the former national director of the JDL, was also in attendance. Weinstein did not respond to my questions about whether or not he was there that night.
@ericwickham.caLast October, Bradford attended an event hosted by Doc von Lichtenberg, a man who helped organize an "anti-Islam death march" at Pride.
@ericwickham.caBradford has publicly distanced himself from two supporters for Islamophobic comments: Catherine Swift and Avi Glina.
But there's more.
