Missing Context

Bradford did vote for an island airport referendum. He mentioned it 64 minutes after the fight was over.

Claim“I've been clear that Torontonians need to have a say on major decisions that affect our waterfront. That's why I voted in favour of a referendum on the proposed island airport expansion. While Toronto's seat at the table should never have been taken away, I am grateful the federal government has listened to residents.”

The votes are real, four items from March to July, referendum included. But it is entirely a voting record: no public word from him on the file until 64 minutes after Ottawa settled it.
