Police budgets are the biggest line item on any municipalities budget. It would logically follow that it would also be the most scrutinized. As it turns out it is virtually impossible to openly criticize and debate the use of tax dollars when it comes to policing in Ontario.

This is something our guest today resigned their position on Peel’s Police Board for. Newly elected Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish resigned from the Peel Police Board over a proposed 23.3% budget increase which would lead to increased property taxes for Mississaugans. Something as Mayor, she was concerned with but not allowed to discuss openly due to the code of conduct for Police Board members not being able to openly criticize decisions.

We discussed a similar issue with Hamilton Councillor Cameron Kroetsch when he was disciplined by the Hamilton Police Board over his objections to their proposed budget increase. If duly elected municipal officials cannot publicly debate the spending of public tax dollars what does that mean for oversight or accountability?

These are some of the questions we put forward to Mayor Parrish as she joins us today on the podcast.

Just wondering if anyone's seen the roads in or around Mississauga getting salted yet this season.

Good morning, does anyone have any understanding of when the Etobicoke Creek off leash Dog park in Mississauga (bordering Etobicoke) will be open again for use? Me and my pup have been waiting for literal years..😅

Drew Road has enough room to be two lanes but they've never painted the dotted lines on it. Every time I use it there's an insane amount of confusion as to it being one lane or two. Anyone know anything about this? I'm on it a lot. Seems like if there's an accident it's going to get complicated quickly.

Hey, I was wondering if there were any witnesses to a hit and run that took place this morning involving a tractor trailer (mahindra) backing into a white ford explorer around 5:30am. The driver of the Tractor trailer fled the scene and I was wondering if there was any witnesses or people who saw this mahindra truck today and caught the license plate.

As title describes I'm looking out for some suggestions on what I should plan for my Wife's birthday, as its coming on weekend, I'm looking out book some good resort nearby (max 1 hour drive).

Can anyone in the Meadowvale area recommend a good rustproofing shop in the area? I know there is Krown, but was wondering if there are other options that are just as good quality wise & price wise. Thanks!

Living in the GTA I have been looking high and low for the stress. I saw it and tried it on at another store. The price tag was around $5000!

I obviously don’t want this one as I want something similar because this is just out of my budget! I want a big ball gown, long train, sparkle in skirt, with cascading lace going down and beading, basque waist line - and honestly I’m okay with whatever else. I just don’t want Messy tulle, more tacked down and put together even a heavier material like organza and tulle just not looking for that whimsical look, more romantic I guess?

Essence of Australia, Morilee and Justin Alexander do not have what I’m looking for….im hoping to try it on so any store in the GTA I’ll travel too. I’m so upset because I didn’t realize the style was expensive, but I have seen some ballgowns that were between 3 to 4000, which I’m okay with, as long as I LOVE IT…..any suggestions would be sooooo helpful as I need to find something soon and order so it’s here on time.

That restaurant isn’t there anymore but shwarnado is but wanted to see if maybe these guys relocated anywhere or closed down for good

Hey everyone, winters coming soon and it looks like it's going to be a snowy one. I'm just curious where's a good spot to learn how to ski or snowboard? And what hills or mountains do you recommend for beginners?

Saw this around the eglinton/ridgeway area. Saw about 3 along this stretch of road. Any ideas on what this could be? My guess is some sort of tool to survey traffic flows.

I’m trying to find a place that does volleyball (beach or court) on Fridays in either drop in or rec league. If anyone has any leads it would be appreciated.

There are number of police cars and fire trucks. No left turn from Winston to Tacc. No idea what’s happening!

Hello, Any particular community or locality where we could see beautiful decorated Christmas houses. Looking for something which a kid would like, the lights etc. Have already been to celebration square.

Thanks 👍

Where in/around Mississauga can we buy bagels , English muffin in bulk for a week or more. Any recommendations?

There was a hit and run where a driver, likely intoxicated, hit a pedestrian in the bus station behind Oceans on Eglinton and Huronatrio and ran off immediately. This happened at approximately 9:30-10PM. If you were in the area or saw anything, even the direction of the car, please reach out.

Are you aware of any gas station that offers full service to customers without leaving the car?

Where are they usually? Just on/near highway exits? Reason I'm asking is my mom had a bit of an incident after taking an exit on the 403 last year.

I don't want to get into too much detail about my moms mental health but basically dealing with police exacerbates her anxiety and she has a bit of a panic attack at one of these checkpoints last year on her way to work. Hoping to avoid one of these. Is it best to have her drive on Eglinton or Burnhamthrope to make her east/west commute (she works night shifts).

Edit: location added.

Hey everyone, I found a single ear bud in the parking lot at Loblaws at Glen Erin and Eglinton this morning around 7:30 am.

If this is yours, it is with customer service inside the store.

Cheers!

Happened at 2:30pm! What the hell is going? In the middle of a busy area, on a weekend, in broad daylight!

Has anyone been to Mississuaga Santa Claus parade. I want to attend but the website says expected 20000 spectators and I sont want to deal with a crowd

It's been 2 days of pixels and not hearing the show? I'm at Mavis mall anyone else getting interruptions? I'm just about to call Bell and cancel

What was your experience like? I know they’re non-profit and volunteer-run. I’ve been trying to adopt a cat from a Pet Valu branch and I was told to send an application to PARS, which I did — I sent them an email a week ago with my application, and I also dropped it off at the Pet Valu store. I have gotten no acknowledgment so far. I’m just curious if, in your experience, this is normal? I really want to adopt the cat and every day that passes and she’s in a cage at the store makes me sad—she deserves a home. Just wondering if I should try to follow up or if this is just their way of rejecting me, or they’re just very busy and need a few more weeks to get back. Thank you in advance!
