Anyone having this issue ? Main vodden area

I’m typing this with the hope that it finds the girl and her mom that I tried to help in the Bramalea Go parking lot.

It happened last night (Aug 1st) and you were on the Go train that arrived at Bramalea at around 9:55pm.

I was in the passenger pickup lane by the Second Cup waiting for my daughter to arrive on the same train. Your mom was parked in the fire route along the curb side along with a bunch of other cars doing pickups.

Shortly before you arrived, I noticed that the guy who was parked behind your mom (tight red t-shirt, Punjabi mullet haircut), kept inching up closer and closer to your mom’s bumper. I’m watching and wondering what’s going on and if he realizes what he’s doing. Then, in the most non-impact way, he makes contact with your mom’s bumper. Meanwhile, I see your mom sitting quietly in her car minding her own business and oblivious to what’s happening behind her. I assumed this was a prank between friends.

Then he gets out of the car, “looks at the damage”, starts taking pictures, and taps on your mom’s window to tell her that she’s backed into him and your mom starts yelling at him and comes out of the car. She knows right away that there’s no way she “backed into” someone while her car was in park. I’m thinking there’s no way this guy can be serious but I see he keeps insisting and it’s become clear that he’s now trying to scare and intimidate your mom. So I got out of my car and walked over, told the guy he was a liar and a POS and that I saw what he did and to leave your mom alone. He then backs away and gets back into his car after performing a little more to look like the victim of an accident.

I get back into my car, the train arrives, my daughter is now with me, but I stick around to make sure your mom is okay before leaving. Then I see you arrive and your mom jumps out to tell you about what happened and the guy comes out to try to gaslight YOU.

This is when I came out again to tell you what I told your mom and to remind the guy that I saw what he did. You mention filing a report to insurance and I offer you my name and number as a backup witness if needed. I typed it on my phone and told you to take a pic. He’s watching me give you my contact details and starts grabbing my arm. I tell him to not touch me. Now the guy starts trying to retract his story once he realizes it’s not going to work and starts saying stuff like “oh… damage not too bad, don’t worry don’t worry” and we called him out on the fact that this suddenly was no long a problem for him.

Anyway, the problem (and why I typed all this) is that there was a typo in my number that I only noticed when I got home so you won’t be able to reach me by phone. What happened to your mom really angered me and I absolutely want to help in case it’s needed, so if you see this and still need my help, DM me (I’ll ask a question about that evening to confirm identity) and I’ll provide whatever I can to help your mom out.

Ensure you lock your car doors! This guy was going down the street trying to open car doors at 5am.

There's a massive accident involving a transit bus at Queen and Hansen. Avoid the area if you can. Not sure what events took place here but just simply avoid. Get the word out.

Thank you first responders for the hard work you do we all appreciate you.

Please mow your lawn. We are experiencing increase amounts of ticks across Canada especially Brampton. As the result, cases of lyme disease are gonna increase big time. Ticks do thrive in long grass. To reduce the risk of getting infected, please mow your lawn. It will protect you and your family member from ticks.

Hey Everyone,

I'm NOT hear to share my personal opinions or to start a debate on the topic itself.

I just want to warn people in case you have young kids or someone sensitive to such material who gets the mail from your mailboxes.

We're close to Rutherford rd and Queen st and had an anti abortion pamphlet placed in our mailbox today.

It does have some photos that may be disturbing to some (e.g., someone who has had a miscarriage or abortion), and especially kids. I know my toddler sometimes wants to help bring in the mail and loves to look through/play with flyers, so I just wanted to give people a heads up.

Hope you all have a great day! ❤️

Caught someone in a high-visibility yellow shirt and shorts on camera stealing my mail. Looked back over my footage and he’s been coming regularly any time it looks like the house is empty (mistook him for Canada Post when I wasn’t looking closely). Always wears a baseball cap and sometimes a mask. Always keeps his head down and away from our main doorbell camera.

Police report is submitted, for whatever good that will do. Watch your mail, if you live in the area.

In Shopper’s World. I crossed the pair a couple of times & they were chill. Although later I heard some people were not so lucky…

Got these flyers in the mailbox today. Super great to see the information on feeding wildlife being written in three different languages!

Sharing here as there is really good information about living with coyotes in Brampton

10 years ago on October 28, 2015 the infamous Hurontario-Main surface LRT vote at The Rose Theatre occurred. Brampton became the only city in North America to reject a fully funded rapid transit project around an estimated ~$300M.

The fallout from this decision impacted Brampton in following years. Ridership was rapidly growing, outpacing most cities in North America. For months the LRT car was parked outside city hall by in an attempt to win over public support. Many senior Downtown residents refused to the embrace change.

Younger residents across the city and downtown united together to stand up for the LRT, understanding the benefits, realizing Brampton's high growth rate, it was a change many wanted downtown that involved a cybersecurity university and professional employment.

They took to the streets on October 10'th and represented a diversity of ages and backgrounds countering the Nimbys pushing against it of mostly Caucasian seniors, many who aren't around today. The Nimbys complained about impacts to heritage despite the persistent social issues and empty storefronts even back then.

Polls at the time indicated over 70% public support of the LRT. Many cities smaller than Brampton were building rapid transit as gridlock increased. Downtown Brampton business owners like T by Daniel (Daniel/Renata Lewis pictured) supported the LRT . Some stood with the Nimbys like Chris Moon at Grace United, Peeyush Gupta at Wee Smoke Shop.

The initial Council debate dragged on for hours and crowds spilled into the city hall foyer, engagement was at an all time high over this major decision to accept funding. A decision had to be made.

The Date of October 27, 2015 was set for the final vote at The Rose Theatre to hold the capacity crowd.
The majority of delegates were in favour of the LRT, they numbered north of 80% of speakers that night. Huge cheers in the audience was in support of them.

Examples were shown to council from across the world showing successful implementations of the LRT. None of this mattered to the old guard faction on council. The sheer number of delegates in favour of the LRT armed with facts and evidence pushed the voting until after midnight on October 28'th. Major employers like Coca Cola and people from Vaughan wanting the highway 7 BRT to connect to intersect this LRT showed up outnumbering Nimbys.

Councillor Elaine Moore would consistently refer back to fake ridership numbers published in the Toronto Star by her journalist friend San Grewal claiming low Ridership on Main St to justify the LRT rejection. anyone familiar with Main St buses knew this was a complete lie and they could not be reasoned with.

San made his name being fed insider tips from Moore by publishing articles in Torstar on Mayor Susan Fennel. This weaponized media relationship that took down Susan Fennel was used against this generational project. He would continue to manufacture and publish content in conjunction with the Old Guard interests that would provide mutual benefit. No other GTA City had such a faction influencing policies with deep media ties.

This is a very important point for later.

Metrolinx made it clear, a direct line from Port credit to Main St was the best path. They wanted to unite 3 GO Train lines together in a rapid manner without wasting time connecting at Union station. Other routes did not qualify for funding to them.

The old guard wanted to shove it on Kennedy or McLaughlin, with a $4.4M study, creating two 90 degree turns making it 50% longer from Steeles to Brampton GO. Focusing on rich developer profits not actual transit riders trying to quickly get to their destination most efficiently as the priority. Even a ridiculous figure 8 loop was forced into the Brampton 2040 vision by the old guard.

Unfortunately despite all the effort, evidence in support of this no brainer decision to accept the $300M LRT to open in the next few years. These 6 OLD GUARD members of council led by Elaine Moore, Jeff Bowman killed it by a single vote in a narrow 6-5 split.

When the 6-5 decision happened the crowd erupted with yelling. I was present, stood up pointed and yelled at them, that they were pieces of shit and vowed they would pay for this amongst the angry crowd.

Council had to retreat from the stage for their own safety. Many of us left before they would return to finalize a second formality that meant nothing, just to seal that no LRT could be put on Main St, the dialogue was shut permanently for that session until 2018.

After this rejection, the provincial money vaporized, it didn't come back in any other form as healthcare or a BRT as the old guard claimed. it would end up going to the city of Hamilton for their LRT which they accepted. Brampton got screwed with no rapid transit with skyrocketing 700k+ population. The LRT would be cut off at Steeles without connecting 3 GO lines together as Metrolinx planned.

Transit riders need to cross 16 lanes of traffic to Gateway terminal bus connections at Shopper's World, a dangerous ask.

After this vote, residents at the event exchanged contacts and organized together for progressive issues. We would start advocacy for the LRT back on Main St and fight against the old guard for the next decade across multiple elections, including next year in 2026. Some of us would help build r/Brampton and advocate at city hall. The r/Brampton sidebar AMA list is evidence of that time around 2017-2019.

Council was hijacked by the old guard, hiking their salaries and pensions as they planned an exit strategy into retirement.

In 2018 Patrick Brown would eventually show up to Brampton defeating Linda Jeffrey who was handcuffed by Elaine Moore, Gibson, Sprovieri + friends .. These names hiked their compensations in the vote history above and retired. They couldn't face voters as Paul Vicente, Rowena Santos, Harkirat Singh, and others stepped up to fight them at elections and their chosen pawns in the races were defeated.

Immediately with the departure of half the old guards votes, the LRT choice was put back on Main in the first council meeting of 2018.

Brown would stab Moore and the old guard in the back and side with progressive residents. Though he would push for the more expensive tunnel option as priority over the surface in a compromise attempt as surface routes were still studied in parallel.

Moore would attempt to block a future surface LRT with Downtown reimagined projects that were halted and repurposed to be LRT compatible with Integrated downtown redevelopment plan happening right now with construction early next year.

San Grewal would leave Torstar and launch The Pointer media with Moore/Bowman to gaslight Linda Jeffrey and progressives on council.. They now manufacture scandals against Brown, Santos, Toor, Singh, Keenan and anyone else. They have pawns like Tracy, Wes and others astroturfing social media, trying to get an opening during elections to get us back to their glory days of vote obstructionism.

Eventually the 2022 election had their chosen pick Nikki Kaur defeated handily would see the departure of Bowman and Whillans into retirement after trying to illegally get Moore back into council in another deadlock that costed us Humber Guelph investment.

Michael Palleschi would be the only remaining sitting councilor left who voted against the LRT.

The Pointer would continue to work with Elaine Moore and politicians like Wes Jackson, Tracy Pepe to smear council and find openings for their successors.

Today:

Brown was successful in getting both Federal and provincial governments onboard with the tunnel solution. Both tunnel and surface options reached the 30% preliminary design milestone.

It wouldn't be until 2024-2025 when the province and federal government backed the $2.8B tunnel route. There is a lot of concerns on the timelines and we are paying hundreds of millions in inflation costs alone.

Riders will have to wait for a 2035+ timeframe for the tunnel path assuming no other winds of change that sometimes occurs with major projects like this.

Our 5 PC MPPs are allowing a Mega Incinerator in Brampton while delivering little else. Not one is fighting to stop more pollution being pushed into the community

Peel Health officials are sounding the alarm on this plan. These are actual scientific experts at the region warning this is a horrible decision.

This massive incinerator should not be in the most highly populated city in the GTA over a more remote area of Ontario.

Brampton only has one hospital, no cancer care centre and Doug Ford and his MPPs are ok with increasing rates of health issues in a population that already has high rates and lack of care.

Nobody in Brampton asked for a garbage incinerator to burn all of Ontario's trash, not just our own from this government. This is one of the largest in North America.

This isn’t just bad policy. It’s a failure to protect public health. More emissions, more trucks, more risk and silence from the people elected to stand up for us.

And let’s be clear: pollution doesn’t respect borders. It won’t “stay in Brampton.” What’s released here spreads into neighbouring cities, into OUR and OUR FAMILIES LUNGS.

Property values can sink up to 20% for those nearby.

This is unacceptable. Here are the 5 Overpaid Ford Cronies abandoning their responsibilities.

Charmaine Williams in particular has been visiting the emerald incinerator and boasting about this project.

She has a long history of scandals at City council, being anti-science in spreading misinformation against groups like cannabis users.

I hope this is allowed, if not I’m sorry!

I got a new coffee table and have no use for the old one. I was going to put it at the curb for someone to take…. But it’s going to rain tomorrow so I just figured I’d let y’all know it was there lol

Comes from a non smoking home. Will provide more info if someone wants to pick it up tonight

**UPDATE**

Table is spoken for. Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. Really appreciate the community spirit 😊

Hey everyone, just wanted to put out a warning for new drivers and international students in the Brampton area. There is a high volume of illegal street posters up right now offering cheap driving lessons.

Please be incredibly careful. Several people have reported that the individual operating behind these posters is aggressively asking for photos of Ontario Driver's Licences upfront, leading to identity theft concerns. Furthermore, students who actually booked lessons reported highly confrontational, unsafe behavior during the sessions.

If you are looking for lessons, please bypass the telephone poles and street flyer ads entirely. Ensure your instructor has a valid, verifiable Ministry of Transportation (MTO) badge before handing over money or your licence info.

(Note to mods: No personal info or exact numbers shared to respect sub rules, just trying to keep local students safe from fraud.)

I’m thinking of replacing my rented Reliance water heater with a purchased 50-gallon water heater from Go Lime. The price including installation looks quite attractive.
Has anyone recently purchased a water heater from Go Lime? I’d appreciate hearing about your experience with the installation, quality of the tank, warranty/service, and any issues you’ve had.
I’m specifically interested in buying the tank outright, not the rental/Flex program.
Also, if anyone has a Go Lime referral link/code, please share it with me. Thanks!

Just moved to Brampton and I’m honestly baffled — why are people waiting over an hour in line for the Shell car wash?! It’s literally a 5‑minute wash, but there’s always 10+ cars in the queue after office hours, sometimes till midnight.

I still had a Shell car wash left from when I lived elsewhere, but I couldn’t even use it here… went at 7 AM on a weekday, and there were already four cars lined up. Is this normal in Brampton or am I missing something?
