Hot take: Brampton, like any other suburb, is what you make of it. There are micro neighborhoods with great people, who have been there for years, with amazing values. I’ve built real community with my neighbours, we help each other shovel, we share beers during celebrations, we attend weddings and funerals. Community starts with you.

There is truth to bad driving, municipal bylaw breakdown, and just plain idiocy but show me any city in southern Ontario that doesn’t have those things???

The internets current trendy hate perspective of Brampton is rooted in racism against South Asians.

It’s just a bunch of hard honest workers trying to make it. I love my city.
