一场针锋相对的较量 在以往的辩论中，周与布拉德福德之间的讨论有时会变得激烈，双方都会竭力阐述自己为何应成为多伦多的市长人选。
A head-to-head rivalry At past debates, the discussion between Chow and Bradford has, at times, become heated as the opponents make their case for why they should be Toronto's choice for mayor.
周与布拉德福德在公共交通和安全问题上的处理方式上经常发生冲突，并曾在市政厅任职期间互相讽刺对方的工作表现。他们在税收和城市财政问题上也存在分歧。
Chow and Bradford have often clashed over their approaches to public transit and safety, and have made jabs about each other’s track records while at city hall. They’ve also butted heads over taxes and city finances.
在整个竞选过程中，布拉德福德一直批评周多年来提高的房产税——2026年的税率将上涨2.2%，低于2025年的6.9%和2024年的9.5%。而2024年的涨幅是25年来的最高水平。
Throughout the course of the campaign, Bradford has been critical of Chow’s increases to property taxes over the years — which were raised 2.2 per cent in 2026, down from 6.9 per cent in 2025 and 9.5 per cent in 2024. The latter was the highest increase in 25 years.
这一次，周承诺将把房产税的涨幅“控制在通胀率水平或相近水平”。对此，布拉德福德团队表示，选民“完全有理由不相信她的承诺”。在以往的辩论中，周曾指出布拉德福德过去曾在市长约翰·托里的任期内担任预算委员会副主席，并表示她的对手应对城市陷入财政赤字以及导致增税的局势负有责任。
This time around, Chow is promising to keep property tax increases "at or around" the rate of inflation. In response, Bradford's team said voters "have every reason not to take her word for it." In past debates, Chow has pointed at Bradford’s past role as vice chair on the budget committee under former mayor John Tory and said her opponent holds responsibility for sending the city into the red and creating the circumstances that drove the tax increase.
周刚上任时，这座城市在疫情后正面临18亿美元的预算赤字，但自周当选以来，城市的信用评级已经有所改善。
When Chow first took office, the city was dealing with a budget deficit of $1.8 billion post-pandemic and the city’s credit rating has improved since Chow's election win.

周的团队表示，布拉德福德无法兑现这一承诺，并称这位市议员“为了当选会不择手段”。
Chow's team has said Bradford won't be able to deliver on that promise and has said the councillor will "say anything to get elected." To
