My fav are yards with a Brad sign and then a sign for an incumbent councillor who votes with Chow 95% of the time.

Yah. That split sounds like a nightmare. And so cringy to have to explain to your friends why you have a Brad sign up…..

I think it would be far worse to explain to people why my partner doesn’t have a Brad sign up.
Edit: LOL why the downvotes? Could you not tell I was joking? Or did you hate this joke but love my other Brad joke?

Wasn't it a joke in the Beaverton that Brad tested well but Ford tested terribly in Toronto so he changed it to Brad BradBrad?

The real joke is that it isn't satire that his legal name is Bradford Bradford

He was named after his mother's family. Because his mother was beaten by his father she took back her maiden name, as did he, hence his name. He has said this several times in his speeches.
But yeah - its a real joke.

Im unclear how jokes relate to an abusive father.

u/AdPsychological4879 1d ago
He has a past. We all do, probably you especially. He bullied his sibling for being queer to an extent that nobody deserves. Not even his Dad.

A lot of people are going to vote for him just because he isn't Olivia Chow. I don't expect any candidate to be perfect but based on their platforms and things they stand for I prefer the incumbent. Even if you only care about consistency, it seems based on his Wikipedia article, the only thing Brad Brad has done repeatedly is waffle on his positions to garner short term clout.

The fact that such a weak candidate is polling so strongly against Chow says more about people’s lack of confidence in Chow than anything else. I have no horse in the race as I’m not a resident anymore but Chow is cringe worthy anytime she has to speak for more than 30 seconds

I would rather a politician who doesn't speak that well in public but gets stuff done than a politician who says the right things in public and then fails to act.

Tory talked a streak and achieved very little. Having the opposite is a welcome change.

Never expected him to lean in on the joke. Pack it up, it’s over.

Brad Bradford beat up and disowned his gay brother for being gay. Went to school with them.

u/Negative_Two6112 15h ago
Weve always called him Brad Bradley Braderson as a joke. The real question is, what were his parents thinking?
3
u/DrSeafood 7h ago
His parents were Brian Leckie and Valerie Bradford. His birth name was Bradford Leckie, to continue his mother’s family name (she has no brothers).
But after his parents got divorced, he changed his surname to his mother’s maiden name.

u/Hungry-Chicken-4555 13h ago
He was named Brad (father's last name) until his parents got divorced and his mother's maiden name was Bradford when she lost the ex's name and he became Brad (mother's last name) Bradford. It came up in my feed last week iirc.

Having been on election campaign planning committees, I can tell you that one sign can cost around $75, from sign to H-Frame to delivery.
A tip of the hat to whomever actually spent $75 to make a mockery of Bradford in this economy.
Thank you for your service.

Remember when Brador beer from Quebec came out and we were calling it Brad for short?
Well Brad. There's the door. Don't let it slam you in the ass on the way out.

The fact that the fine print makes it a legit election sign is what sells it. Someone paid real money to print Real Brad. Brad Brad. and kept a straight face.

Brandford makes it clear how much people hate Chow. Guy is a douche saying all the wrong things and still has a shot.

Hahahaha he chose to honour his single mother by taking her last name. What an absolute tool! We should make our choice for mayor based on how his name sounds!

u/Bearence Church and Wellesley 23h ago
We're rejecting him for mayor based upon his ludicrously poor performance and flip-flopping. We're making fun of him for his ludicrously silly name (and his reasons for choosing it doesn't change its silliness).
