For those who missed this clip the first time, here is a typical weekend evening 10:00 to 3:00am at Westwood Square parking lot in Malton. There is housing all around it and thousands of people are unable to sleep. Clouds of dust and exhaust fill the air. It’s like a war zone.

Stretch of 407. Folks have landed small planes on it. Shifting 12-21,000 trucks a day to 1 east, 1 west toll free lane would cost the province $260m/year or $4B over 30yrs and could happen immediately. 413 Hwy, ripping thru Caledon, will take 7-9 yrs to build at $10B. No brainer!

I’m generally cooperative. I don’t accept we “may have another surge” nor do I accept “a Peel lockdown protects the rest of the GTA and Ontario from spread”! What of kids/teachers suffering under weird pressures, our bankruptcies & drug deaths? Who asked us to be a viral wall?

Hazel’s letter supporting Ford’s proposed destruction of massive chunks of formerly protected Greenbelt is obviously ghost-written. Out of character wording to appeal to her legions of adoring admirers. Shame on Ford for using a 102 year old icon for his own nefarious purposes.

Amazing day at Mississauga Council! An enormous cheque for an NBA basketball court in Malton. The Superfan, Nav Bhatia, was SO GRACIOUS! Spent several hours getting photos with every one of the 100 students from Ascension SS. THANKYOU!

HAZEL MCCALLION ACT fulfills the former mayor’s wishes, which is to be celebrated. Sadly, the scheduled end of Peel Region puts 5000 incredible employees into a difficult situation. As services transfer to the three cities they should be hired first based on their superb skills.

This evening’s funeral for Ejaz Choudry in Paul Coffey Park. Social distancing and masks worn by all. A solemn, respectful gathering of the Malton Muslim community offering their respects.

@mfarooq45 @TorontoMuslims @YRP @TorontoPolice I have visited the Middle East 5 times as an MP. Israeli people by and large, want to live peacefully and often march through their streets on behalf of suffering Palestinians. It’s the politicians and the extremists who make life miserable for all. And the world only watches.

Huge thank you to two wonderful folks from City Hall for a great lunch today. The meeting was set a while ago but someone told them it was my birthday so they had Scaddabush provide a complimentary birthday cupcake replete with sparkler. A nice surprise!

Amazing Campaign Office Opening today. Over 250 people packed our office. 99% of whom are supporters for many years of my political career. So grateful to have such solid support: canvassers, droppers, phoners, sign installers. Feeling very grateful my friends. Thank you!

What's with media saying Trump is becoming unhinged? He's been a self-indulgent, brutish, foul-mouthed, vulgar prima donna his whole life!

Doesn’t take a Science Panel to do the math. Ages 20-29, 129 cases; 30-39, 82 cases; 40-49, 88 cases; 50-59, 75 cases. 374 currently working age. Further study would show they’re also in essential services like food packaging and don’t have sick day insurance. Vaccinate on site!

Horrible Malton shooting last evening by Peel Regional Police. A 62 year old man whose family called for mental health assistance. Shocking details. SIU investigating. Past time for mental health calls to have plain clothes,trained responders. Illness is not punishable by death.

5 years ago Region of Peel staff were asked to cost the conversion of an unusable pool attached to Lincoln Alexander SS to a Youth Hub. Costs increased through Covid but funds were found. Doors will officially open September 2023. After 38 years in politics, a dream come true.

Sad for such a wealthy country. Wealthiest 20% of households control 68% of total net worth in Canada. Least wealthy 40% account for 2.7%. Younger households are feeling impact of aggressive rate-hiking campaign by Bank of Canada and squeezed with rising cost of living and debt.

Dwight Ball, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, says despite Trump’s stopping the shipping of 3M masks to Canada, his province and his people would again not hesitate to accept American planes as they did during 9/11. That’s Canadian, Mr. Trump. You sir, are an asshole.

Disgusting lack of preparedness on the part of Westwood Square and extremely poor response by Peel Regional Police. Having a local community police station in the plaza has done nothing to improve life for residents of Malton. Major disappointment all around.
