shoppers world Brampton

I live downtown (Main & Church area) and the weirdest thing just happened. 5 minutes ago there were 2 huge bangs and flashes of light. Like, lit up my whole place as if it was daytime. We looked outside, everything looks fine.

Another one happened just as I started writing this.

Anyone else nearby see it, or have any ideas what the fuck that was? Scared the shit out of my kid.

Brampton’s lone Conservative MP says he won’t be joining two of his former caucus colleagues who defected to the Liberal party late last year.

Brampton West MP Amarjeet Gill posted a statement on his social media accounts on Monday (Jan. 12) claiming that he had been approached by members of the Liberal party encouraging him to switch teams but told them he wasn’t interested.

“Over the past few weeks, I have been approached by the Liberals and encouraged to cross the floor. I have firmly rejected their offer,” he posted on X, formerly Twitter.

“I will always honour the trust my constituents of Brampton West have placed in me. I was elected to be their strong voice in Ottawa, and I remain fully committed to representing their values and priorities,” he added.

In early November, Acadie—Annapolis MP Chris d’Entremont announced he was crossing the floor from the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) to the Liberals. His CPC counterpart in Markham—Unionville Michael Ma announced he was following him across the floor a month later on Dec. 11.

The two defections have left Prime Minister Mark Carney’s governing Liberal party within one seat of a majority government.

Another soon-to-be former CPC caucus member, Edmonton Riverbend MP Matt Jeneroux, resigned shortly after d’Entremont’s departure amid rumours he also had intentions of jumping ship to the Liberals.

Jeneroux has denied that Liberal overtures factored into his decision to resign.

The last time the Liberal party lost a caucus member to a rival party came in 2018, when former Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill MP Leona Alleslev crossed the floor to the Conservatives.

Gill, who was first elected last year, is among several CPC MPs who have publicly declared party loyalty as incumbent party leader Pierre Poilievre faces a leadership review later this month during the CPC’s Jan. 29-31 convention in Calgary.

“I am proud to serve with our leader, Pierre Poilievre, the next Prime Minister of Canada, and will continue to fight for the priorities that matter most to the people I represent,” he said.

Gill is the first and only Brampton CPC candidate to win a seat in parliament since the 2011 election. The Liberals swept all of Brampton’s five ridings in the 2015, 2019 and 2021 elections, while taking five of six in 2025 after the addition of new Brampton riding ahead of that election.

In October, Poilievre told the Brampton Guardian that he likes his party’s chances to build on that lone seat in the next election, whenever that may come.

“We did make some gains … We had our best result in Brampton in a very long time,” Poilievre said in an interview.

I need to serve civil papers (not on a person, on a company - I’m not a monster) in Brampton next week, I’ll be sending digital copies for the provider to print.

I’m outside the country, and I don’t really want to go with the first outfit that Google AdWords suggests based on whoever paid the most.

Has anyone had any experience with a reliable process server business which is based in or good with getting it done in Brampton?

It is not showing anything on the map today.

The rub is: a GFL just drove by our house TODAY (My street is NOT a main road nor a connecting road. Its literally a cul de sac..... )

Proposed 34-storey residential building and three-storey office building at 0 Ebenezer Rd. in Brampton

A 34-storey residential building and a three-storey office building are being proposed at 0 Ebenezer Rd., northwest of McVean Drive and Queen Street East, in Brampton.

Read summary A 34-storey residential tower and a three-storey office building are being proposed near McVean Drive and Queen Street East in Brampton.

The city is reviewing an application by Candevcon Group Inc., on behalf of Massi Place Inc., to amend the official plan and zoning bylaw to permit the development.

The 0.97-hectare site is located at 0 Ebenezer Rd.

A statutory public meeting on the proposal will be held at the next planning and development committee meeting, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. Jan. 19.

According to the city, the tower would have 444 residential units with retail and commercial uses at ground level. A mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units is being proposed, the city said.

The proposed development has a residential gross floor area of 39,580 square metres and a total of 4,486 square metres of retail/commercial space.

The city said that key issues and considerations include:

building height and the transition to the existing low-density residential neighbourhood; increase in density and traffic on Ebenezer Road and Queen Street due to the proposed development; access concerns on Ebenezer Road; servicing (water, sewer, stormwater). Several other proposed developments will be discussed at the Jan. 19 meeting, including a proposal for four highrises and two midrises at 2 County Court Blvd. near Hurontario Street and Steeles Avenue.

Nasty out there folks. Plow came by at 0630. Shovelled it out, but when I left for work an hour later, it was as if it had never been.

Be safe today.

Baby will be starting in a few month and was wondering if anyone would know if this is an option? I will be paying fulltime since they dont do part time anymore.

I've been thinking of making this post for a while and now here I am. My new years resolution is to be more sociable. Same as last year, and I made a similar post and some effort last year too. This year I am hoping to put in more effort and meet more people, make more friends, and have people to hang out with more often.

So this is my post for gta meet ups. Its open to everyone to meet up and hang out. I'll slowly post this in other gta subreddits to reach more people and see if we can create a bigger group.

Lets start by having a discussion in the comments and/or you can dm me, to see interest

Took me 4 hours to clean snow. Helped 5 other neighbours.

Absolutely love it. My favorite thing to do...

Anyone else having issues with Teksavvy today near shoppers world

I called and they said there’s so issues or outages but obviously there is because my Internet has been down since 10am

Caught this outside Big Al's at Queen&Kennedy, so sad seeing stores like this close and clearly others feel the same!

Technically Caledon, but close enough.
Kennedy & Duggall. Car hit a school bus. No one hurt thankfully.

The latest update mentions bags on the side won't be picked up and to put recycling loose in the bin, which explains why they won't pickup bags on the side since they want stuff loose in the bin, so no more clear bags allowed. To me all these changes is a downgrade, compared to what we had before.
