Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1561 - Drift or Direction: A Plan for Mississauga’s Future

Is Mississauga drifting… or ready to decide? On this Thursday’s Brian Crombie Radio Hour, Brian examines what’s happening beneath the surface in Canada’s sixth-largest city. Rising property taxes, a frozen housing market, growing crime concerns — nothing is collapsing, but nothing seems to be moving forward either. The first half features a rebroadcast of Brian’s conversation with Nokha Dakroub of The Radical Centre Podcast, exploring the subtle pressures and quiet failures that shape cities. In the second half, Brian lays out a clear, actionable five-point strategy to renew Mississauga:🚆 Transit — all-day, two-way, frequent GO Train service on the Milton–Mississauga line🏗️ Housing — eliminate development fees for two years, streamline approvals, and cut red tape💰 Taxes — zero-based budgeting, expenditure control, and increases no greater than inflation🚓 Public Safety — fully fund Peel Police with measurable accountability🌳 Vision — actionable plans for Riverwood, Britannia Farms, One Port Street, and downtown MississaugaThis isn’t ideology — it’s about competence, priorities, and whether Mississauga is ready to act.
