As I run for the nomination in Brampton Centre for the Conservative Party of Canada, my writing has sparked some questions, which I welcome. I’m open to criticism and enjoy hearing diverse viewpoints. However, I want to be clear: I cannot stand entitlement, and in a politician, that’s even worse.

 

One of the fundamental reasons the RRL (Residential Rental Licensing) Program will not work in Brampton is straightforward—you have a group of city leaders who fail to hold each other accountable. Consider, for instance, Councillor Toor, who reportedly owns an illegal rental apartment. This is the same councillor involved in the Queen St. property issue I previously exposed. It’s troubling that while leaders like Dennis Keenan and Rowena Santos sit beside him debating the need for Brampton residents to “clean up their act,” our council itself is entangled in problematic practices.

​

Another major reason I am running, I support a fiscally responsible government is because I believe in fair, honest paychecks. A strong team is built from diverse levels of staff with varying degrees of education and expertise. Hard work and its resulting contributions are key to our economic success. When CUPE 831 went on strike in Brampton, Gordon (my dog) and I stood with them. Despite the City of Brampton's mismanagement of funds, they offered a 4–6% increase to non-union members, yet only came to the table with a 3% offer for CUPE members. This is unacceptable—successful teams require a team approach. The entitlement and arrogance demonstrated by the City of Brampton, with a lack of transparency, overspending, hidden agendas, and mismanagement, should not fall on the shoulders of the workers.  The Liberal government has also left us with one of the worst GDPs in decades, demonstrating how employers such as the City of Brampton to not understand why it is critical to invest in its people; that needs to change. I believe a Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre will change that.

 

Many ask what I’d do differently. Quite simply, I’m here to act as an intelligent, business-minded problem solver. I believe in asking the tough questions and challenging the status quo. Federally, I intend to bring constituents’ voices directly to the government. I understand that some may have reservations about the Conservative leader. However, I’m not here to make friends; I’m here to get the job done and represent your voices. I listen to the people in my community, and I am committed to practical, professional solutions. I love my city, and when the time comes, I hope Brampton wakes up and votes!
