🔮 As Alvin Tedjo’s campaign team walks down the stairs to their basement office a few days after their victory over the current and former mayors of Mississauga — the biggest election night upset in the GTA — they reach up and tap the Ted Lasso-inspired, hand-drawn yellow sign above the stairwell.
🔮 In a municipal election where affordability and rising property taxes are a top concern, a proposal from Mississauga mayoral candidate Alvin Tedjo to permanently “freeze” property tax increases for seniors has opponents claiming working families struggling under hefty mortgages will have to pick up the tab to keep city services running.
🔮 Before a packed church hall in Port Credit, Mississauga’s mayoral candidates politely tried to win over undecided voters, a different tone from the high tensions on display the last time they faced off two weeks ago.
🔮 The Mississauga mayoral race has been a winding Shakespearean tale featuring a 15-year rivalry, a possibly hubristic return, a debate stage duel, the sudden emergence of a dark horse and the looming presence of a ghost.
🔮 Mississauga mayoral candidates admitted their debate got “out of control” on Thursday night, with heated exchanges that at times were more personal than about policy.
🔮 Mississauga mayoral race rivals Carolyn Parrish and Bonnie Crombie are taking their online skirmishes in-person Friday afternoon, in the first debate of the campaign.
🔮 Mayoral candidate Bonnie Crombie says it’s time for an extension of the east-west Bloor-Danforth subway line to Mississauga’s city centre — and if elected she will launch a feasibility study and appeal to a subway-loving premier and a prime minister looking for nation-building projects. “Vaughan has a subway and one is being planned for both Markham and Richmond Hill.
🔮 “I think some of it might be just people giving up a little as opposed to saying, ‘You know, I think things really are good,’” said Bricker, noting that not much has changed when it comes to how Torontonians perceive the problems in the city compared to last year.
