Council supports the existing door to door mail delivery system and wishes to retain this valuable service in our communities. Council is requesting that Canada Post undertake greater public consultation with residents in Mississauga prior to transitioning to community mailboxes. Moreover, Council requests that local Members of Parliament and representatives from Canada Post conduct these public consultations. Until this public engagement is complete, Council will be unable to endorse the proposal of Canada Post to remove door to door delivery in favour of community mailboxes. The City of Mississauga has planned and integrated all existing community mailboxes in our neighbourhoods. The new community mailboxes being proposed by Canada Post may be difficult to situate within our existing neighbourhoods and will result in the potential for greater litter, vandalism and graffiti, and snow and ice control. As such, Council is requesting greater consultation and public engagement prior to Council's endorsement of the implementation of the new community mailboxes.

  • Back in the Tower Again
    MUNICIPAL UPDATE Back In The Tower Again Angela Drennan THE SWEARING IN Toronto City Council was sworn in on December 4, 2018 to a Council Chamber full of family, friends and staff. The new Council is comprised of 25 Members including the Mayor, making it 26 (remember this now means to have an item passed at Council a majority +1 is needed, i.e. 14 votes). Councillor stalwart Frances Nunziata (Ward 5 York South Weston) was re-elected as the Speaker, a position she has held since 2010 and Councillor Shelley Carroll (Ward 17 Don Valley North) was elected as Deputy Speaker. The ceremonial meeting moved through the motions of pomp and circumstance with measured fanfare and Councillors, old and new, looking eager to get down to “real” work the next day during the official first meeting of City Council. Mayor Tory, during his first official address, stressed the need for Council consensus, not dissimilar to the previous term and reiterated his campaign positions on the dedication to build more affordable housing, address gun violence through youth programming and build transit, specifically the downtown relief line. Tory did suggest that the City still needs to take a financially prudent approach to future initiatives, as financial streams such as the land transfer tax have lessened due to a slower real estate market environment, a signal that cuts, reallocations or revenue tools will likely need to be revisited for debate during the term (the uploading of the TTC will help with the City’s financial burden, but isn’t enough). THE MAYOR’S OFFICE There have been some notable staff changes in Mayor John Tory’s Office, here are a few: We say goodbye to Vic Gupta, Tory’s Principal Secretary, who will be greatly missed but we say hello to Vince Gasparro, Liberal, Tory’s Campaign Co-Chair and longtime friend of the firm, who has taken over that position.

  • Resist Expansion of Euthanasia Law, Toronto Archbishop Says
    Resist expansion of euthanasia law, Toronto archbishop says The “cold shadow” of euthanasia is spreading, warns Cardinal Thomas Collins Speaking to more than 1,600 guests at the 39th annual Cardinal’s Dinner in Toronto, the cardinal urged them to resist any attempt to expand the federal euthanasia law to include minors. “The time for review of the federal euthanasia law is upon us, and there is great pressure to eliminate the so-called ‘safeguards’ which made it seem to be not so terrible,” he told the audience Nov. 8 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. “One such safeguard is that euthanasia is to be only for adults. Now we hear arguments made that the concept of ‘adult’ is to be made so elastic that even minors are to be eligible for euthanasia, even without the consent of their parents. The cold shadow of euthanasia is spreading further in our land, and we must resist that.” A government committee is expected to deliver a report next month that examines extending assisted suicide to youth under 18, psychiatric patients and consenting adults who give an advance directive to be euthanized in the event they become incapacitated by illness or disease The cardinal stressed the need for access to palliative care. “That, not euthanasia, is the way forward,” he said. “When people are lonely and feel that they are useless, and that life is not worth living, we must reach out, in practical love and support. Each person is worthy of life and of our love.” Chaired by Tom Woods, chair of the Integrated Health Network of Providence, St.

  • “You Want to Come at Me, Come at Me, and Leave My Family and Leave My Neighbours Alone.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report November 30, 2020 Quotation of the day “You want to come at me, come at me, and leave my family and leave my neighbours alone.” Premier Doug Ford reacts to anti-lockdown protests on his front lawn. ​ ​ Today at Queen’s Park Written by Sabrina Nanji On the schedule The house reconvenes at 9 a.m. for the penultimate sitting week of the fall session. Topping today's agenda is PC MPP Gila Martow's motion calling on the attorney general to ​ ​ make permanent the temporary pandemic measures allowing the virtual witnessing of wills and powers of attorney. With a slew of government bills making their way through committee, the only other bill that's expected to be called is Bill 236, Supporting Local Restaurants Act. ​ ​ The bill from Small Business Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria would put an overall cap of 20 per ​ ​ cent on the fees third-party food delivery apps charge restaurants. The Liberals tried to pass the bill immediately after first reading last week, but the NDP denied their motion, arguing the PCs are infamous for slipping unrelated provisions into their bills. The Liberals might try again now that the NDP has had a few days to read the legislation. Committees this week Public hearings on the budget bill kick off at the finance committee this morning, with Finance Minister Rod Phillips as the opening act. The witness roster includes Conservation Ontario, the ​ ​ Ontario Long Term Care Association, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, among others.
