Picture this: You're the average #Canadian, which means your take home pay after taxes is $4000 a month. Ontario is expensive, so you allocate $1400 a month to #rent an apartment in the #GTA. These are your SEVEN choices as of March 30th, 2023

@RE_MarketWatch @ronmortgageguy
@RE_MarketWatch @ronmortgageguy What happens if you bump up your #rental budget to $1600? You now get 15 choices, IF you include the ONE in #Mississauga.
What about $1800? Any guesses? 24 is your answer.

The last three years have presented significant changes to operation of transit systems. Significant shifts in demand patterns. In some areas, busier buses than ever before. Budget pressures.

A deep dive into @MiWayHelps, #Mississauga's transit system. #misspoli #transit
In this first of two threads, we will take a overall look at MiWay comparing 2022 demand vs 2019, current service levels, how demand patterns shifted and the importance of informed budget and policy decisions. In a second thread, we will look deeper at individual MiWay routes.
The analysis is based on Automated Passenger Counter (APC) data obtained from MiWay. In the several times I have requested this data staff have always provided the data requested (and sometimes more) in a useable way at a reasonable cost which is appreciated.

With #Bill23 passing into law today, here is what you need to know #Mississauga: The legislation will cost @citymississauga $885M over ten years in development charge and money for new parks. It’s equal to losing 20% of our capital budget.
The province argues that cities are not sitting on reserves. This is false. Development charges are earmarked for capital projects - the infrastructure projects like bridges, transit, fire stations and community centres that make our city great. We only collect what we need.
It will take a 5-10% property tax increase and/or a reduction in capital projects or city services to make up that difference – BEFORE any other budget pressures are applied. This is not fair to you as a property tax payer and resident.

#onpoli #VoteFordOut here are key ridings where you can make a difference by voting strategically to prevent the Doug Ford Conservatives from forming government.
Ajax riding, the strategic vote is Ontario Liberal. Otherwise Ford may win this seat. Don't be fooled by his candidate that was on the school board, they have no interest in public education. NONE. Image
#Brampton East a riding that could MOVE to Doug Ford's PC's if the voters don't support the NDP in this riding. Image

The idea that provincial legislators have to resign if they wish to run for a seat on municipal councils, but not the other way around for councillors...it's baffling to say the least.
When former councillor Eve Adams ran to become a Conservative MP, she was criticized by #Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion, who "hung around long enough to criticize others for doing what they’d already done"
