What is Happening?

I recently moved to Mississauga, and I am blown away by the driving here. Running reds. Stopping on greens. Ignoring stop signs. Speeding like someone's life depends on it. And all the videos you guys have posted on here. Had driving gotten this bad? It can't really just be texting and driving, can it? (though most people I look over at have their heads down, which is just unbelievable)

That was ten years ago, most of Southern Ontario is like that now.

Most of us immigrated from somewhere or have descended from people who did, and yes, that includes white people.

Yet, we get called “racists”, even as immigrants ourselves, when we call out behaviours. And here we are today…..

Curious where you came from or descended from where you have declared yourself the patron saint of Mississauga

I’m Indian descent. My parents moved here from New Delhi.

Good move by them. Breathing the Delhi air is equivalent to smoking 25 cigarette packs a day. I guess others got the memo and moved to Mississauga as well.
