The two frontrunners in the mayor’s race are practically interchangeable.

At least that’s what one political scientist is saying about the policy positions of former CTV anchor Barb Higgins and Alderman Ric McIver.

Higgins and McIver both agree to support police and streamline processes at City Hall.
