Bradford says Chow declined every chance to act on public safety. Eight weeks earlier, he was criticising her safety plan.

Claim“Every chance Mayor Chow has had to take action on public safety, she's decided not to. She's made her peace with the status quo. I haven't.”

"Every chance" is a universal claim, and the record refutes it: a transit safety plan, a police hiring plan Bradford cites approvingly elsewhere, two budgets that funded it, a citywide crisis-response service, and 911 response times cut by more than half. On 28 May he attacked one of those plans for neglecting Scarborough — an argument about how Chow acted, which is only available if she acted.
