Peel Police's 2026 budget is $837M, up 9.9%.

- Mississauga pays 62% ($519M), Brampton pays 38% ($318M), despite roughly equal populations.

- Mississauga estimates we're overpaying by $104M annually compared to a population-based split.

Annual police cost per resident:

- Peel: $525

- Toronto: $442

- York: $385

- Halton: $384

- Ottawa: $372

So Peel policing is already significantly more expensive per resident than comparable Ontario regions, and Mississauga pays a disproportionate share.

Why are Mississauga taxpayers paying so much more? Is the funding formula justified by actual crime rates and policing demand?

The budget increase represents an addition of 94 officers and 75 civilian professionals

Today afternoon (October 27th) I accidentally hopped off the 4W bus at [camilla rd at cherry post dr] at 4:00pm.... it wasn't until right when i stepped on the sidewalk that I suddenly realized I left my phone on the bus. Then the bus took off and I thought I could chase it but my backpack was too heavy. Yet another reason to hate school.

I marked my phone as lost through find my hub google, simply because my phone location is turned off so I can't even track my phone now!

My phone is green and leathery with a black case on it. The black case has this sliding door that covers the cam lens. My phone is a third party phone, motorola but its OS system is android. My phone has a yellow wallpaper on it however because i marked it as lost, you might not be able to see the wallpaper... but there is a written message i typed on it which is if somebody does find it. 

If you took the 4W and saw my phone today and use reddit please let me know PLEASE. I'm so fucking cooked, I feel like the most irresponsible pos in the world rn

Anyone know what time the lights at public school track & fields turn on? Want to run in the morning but ideally not in the dark lol

Hi guys! Not sure if this is the best way to find one, but I’m looking for a personal trainer.

Ideally someone who could meet with me 1-2 per week at the gym in my condo building. I’d like to focus on strength training.

Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks!

What am I missing here? It's also specifically for seniors who've owned their homes for 20+ years, meaning they bought in 2006 or earlier.

Also, doesn't the shortfall in not increasing one group's taxes, mean the money has to be made up elsewhere somehow?

Has anyone attended The Perfect Bite: A Knives Out Experience? It says “dress to impress,” but everyone I’ve seen on social media looks pretty casual. What’s the actual dress code? Don’t want to overdress.

Ever wonder how a painting goes from blank surface to a masterpiece?

This Friday (Oct. 30), Visual Arts Mississauga is hosting a halloween-themed fundraiser in support of online senior art programs. Join us and watch 22 local artists compete in a thrilling 2-hour competition, cheer for your favs and cast your vote to help pick the winner!

It's a fun 18+ event, not too spooky, handcrafted mocktails and a live DJ

My child's diy costume didn't work out last minute and I'm trying to find something for my kid. Most stores have barely anything left. Looking for places that I probably haven't thought of!

Edit: Thanks everyone for the great suggestions!!

What can be done to put an end to this menace? They're easily going 60-70+ in 40 kmph areas. The city installed temporary bollards last year but they've since been removed.

It takes courage to run for public office. Many of you had great ideas to make our communities better. I hope that today's winners champion your good ideas.

Don't let today's results deter you from staying involved.

To those that didn't run for office: consider offering your services to the public. Volunteering is the first step to civic engagement. It's the UN year of the volunteer. We all benefit when we have good people working together.

haven't seen anything about this person; and their goals etc, somehow they won? im convinced people just voted for him because his name was first...

Go vote!

Whoever was throwing out the green bin today destroyed my yard waste bag and left it on the curb. To say I'm mildly infuriated is putting it lightly. I know it was them because pieces of the yard waste bag were underneath my empty compost green bin.

My fiance and I are looking for wedding dresses and she wants a dress that ideally is mostly a traditional dress, but with some green floral designs on it as well. Does anyone here know if anything like that exists in the GTA?

A futuristic downtown skyline, highlighted by the twisting Absolute World towers and the blocky, under-construction M City skyscrapers. To the left, a seemingly infinite row of heavy-duty wooden utility poles and messy overhead power lines runs down the grassy sidewalk, looking hilariously like a rural highway that accidentally crashed into a sci-fi metropolis. The warm golden hour sunlight denches the entire scene, giving the clash between suburban sprawl and high-rise density a dramatic, cinematic glow. #OhMyDouglas
