Junior Francois Lavagesse, 29, was the subject of a police search after alleged threats disrupted the campaign for the Toronto mayoral by-election and prompted the cancellation of a debate
Councillors Josh Matlow and Brad Bradford suspended their public events on Thursday and Mr. Matlow closed his campaign office. Former councillor Ana Bailão said she wouldn’t be “intimidated” into pausing her campaign.
Mitzie Hunter, former Liberal MPP for Scarborough-Guildwood, said she was “relieved” that there had been an arrest in the case. She said her team would increase watch for potential safety and security concerns when hosting public events. “This election is so important in terms of the future of our city and we have to as candidates have to engage with voters and present our case to the voters in an unimpeded way,” she said.
Ms. Hetmanczuk said in an interview Thursday that there had been an incident a few weeks ago, when a person purporting to be a mayoral candidate interrupted an event, trying to push his way onto camera and talking about becoming violent.
