Premier Doug Ford is warning Brampton is “not going to be shafted by Mississauga or anyone else” in the possible reorganization of Peel Region.
“Brampton and Mississauga are large cities that can stand alone,” the premier told reporters at the opening of a new GO Transit station in Bramalea.
Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown, who was with Ford at the transit opening, said he welcomed “the province looking at this if we can look at ways to remove duplication there.”“I can’t tell you how many times I’m frustrated where there’s a major housing project on a transit corridor that’s being held up and there’s a regional planning ‘commenting period’ that holds up major investment,” he said.
“If the mayor of Mississauga thinks she can leave and not pay her bill, the residents of Brampton would be outraged. Any notion that the mayor of Mississauga could walk away from that and stiff the residents of Brampton is offensive.” “Mississauga taxpayers have been overpaying to support services in Brampton and Caledon to the tune of $84 million a year, primarily for their roads and policing needs. This isn’t fair to Mississauga taxpayers,” the mayor said.
