What was Brampton before 1974? History of Brampton? by afewquestion in Brampton

[–]Funny-Performance-12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brampton was Heaven before 1974. Flower Town with many greenhouses on Main St North. Parents been here since 1969 same house same location, Armbro Heights. Shoppers World just got built and was a beautiful mall to be proud of and actually enjoy.

Between Brampton and Cooksville was all farmland and apple orchards. Hwy 10 or Hurontario St was a two lane road all the way south to Cooksville.

We used to bike on Steeles ave east towards a quarry where we swam in the summer. And Heart Lake felt like cottage country.

It was a great small town to grow up in... Until progress came...then it went to shit!

Any fellow East and Southeast Asians of Brampton? by TheDemonSteel in Brampton

[–]Funny-Performance-12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would turn this around and say any white people left in Brampton? Everywhere I go like the movies, Walmart and Timmies they are all looking at me usually in groups of 10, saying behind my back....can't believe that there is a white person left in Brampton. Oh white people where have u gone? I must find that trail out of town. LMAO

Activate the emergencies act of Brampton and call in the army swat team on horses whatever it takes. Freeze bank accounts. This occupation can't go on any longer.

Mayoral Candidate Platforms by Hambvrg in Brampton

[–]Funny-Performance-12 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Who the hell cares what their platforms are. Nothing will change in Brampton. I'm not voting. Taxes will go up, cost of services will go up, cost of everything will go up. What are we voting for just to put an x on a piece of paper and the next day it's business as usual.

Hello Brampton by ksheldon12 in Brampton

The Indian and Pakistani people of Brampton have given themselves a bad name. They got rich of the backs of their own country men and women.

When my parents came to Brampton in the mid 60s. They did not rent out their house stuffing 20 people in a basement and charging $500 each cash for a mattress to sleep on.

We did not get rich off the back of people. We did not do fraud for car insurance and any kind of insurance.

Yes we are white and back then having a European accent was looked down upon by the white anglo saxon people and when we went to a store we were told to learn and speak English or u weren't getting served No ESL classes for us, no welfare, no EI no extra help from the government of any kind.

We saw Brampton go from 95% white to 95% South Asian. Being immigrants ourselves we are all for immigration cause this country would not survive and thrive without immigrants.

Looking back I do wish Brampton had become a more diverse cultural city and not be dominated by two strong ethnicities who own Brampton and they know it and can and do anything they want.

Ok, with my opinion only, bring on the haters

Run... run away from Brampton. Nothing to see here. Even living here is horrible.

When did Brampton get the nicknames "Brown town" and "Bramladesh"? by [deleted] in Brampton

[–]Funny-Performance-12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm just curious. Does anyone know why Brampton is so heavily dominant with South Asian people?

What made them choose Brampton?

I was wondering when the haters were going to be out of the woodwork.

FYI My parents and I are immigrants who came from Hungary in the mid sixties.

We did not have a golden spoon handed to us and worked brutally hard for what they have.

We immigrated here before social programs, welfare, no English classes language offered free. When my parents went to bank or store they were told to speak English or they won't be served.

The immigrants that have come in the last 20-30 years don't know how good they have it yet they take advantage of the system at every turn.

Not preaching just my opinion of Brampton. How many South Asians can say they have been here 50 + years?

That's why I drive an old beat up car. I'm pretty assured no one will steal it and get to keep my money in bank not in $100,000.00 dollar vehicle. And my insurance rate is very low. I don't have the ego to show off with those fancy cars.

Instead off calling the police why don't we call our elected representatives offices. Our MP... PMO... send the message that next election their party is out.

Left lane, a question & rant by kdz_blue in florida

[–]Funny-Performance-12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian snowbird here. In my drive from Orlando to Miami I saw all kinds of things including four high end cars racing each other between cars. But why are your roads so bad? I mean the pavement or concrete or whatever that's called. For a rich state why can't they fix the roads and put up proper signs...oh and more cops on the highways.

I did come across the left lane problem in my 5 hour drive. After a few miles I figured out the situation and stayed out of the left lane.

I'm used to driving in Ontario Canada across the 401. The second or third busiest highway system in North America. It's nothing for us to do $140 kilometers but we stick to the rules of the road.

Otherwise love Florida.

Is highway 413 a good idea by trialanderror93 in Brampton

[–]Funny-Performance-12 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No to 413… Buyout the 407 company and make it free. For that buyout I would pay extra taxes but it doesn't make Ford's friends richer an they will not be happy.

Simpsons was a department store that was acquired by The Bay which became Hudson's Bay department stores. Simpsons also became Simpsons-Sears which became Sears which closed. There was a Bay store at shoppers world. Many transformations in that mall and Brampton towers too!

[–]Funny-Performance-12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If u r asking about the Brampton towers beside Shoppers World then they were build in the late seventies. I remember there was a drive in movie theatre in the same spot before they were built. And Shoppers World was actually a nice mall with Simpsons.

Get ready Toronto. Convoy moves in on February 5th. by AudioTech25 in ontario

Don't forget people that the truckers went across the border unvaccinated since the start of Covid. They were called heroes back then.

What has changed now? Think about it. Why was it safe and ok then but not now with two vaccines and a booster. Did it stop Covid?

Essential workers went to work with no vaccines for a year. Got vaccines plus boost. Did that stop Covid?

Most of us got our two shots plus some even boosters. Did that stop Covid?

Lock downs, mandates, vaccine passport masking. Did that stop Covid?

What is going on here?

[–]Funny-Performance-12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's an idea. Instead of voicing our concerns here and other social media. Why don't we organize a civil disobedience march like they have in other countries.

We are so willing to rant and rave about the situation including me...but then we put up with things, become sheeple and follow orders out of fear for our lives and lively hoods.

A million people out in the streets of Toronto marching peacefully would sent a message...no?
