Fundamentally, I feel the three levels of government are no longer listening to one another. Worse, they are actively fighting one another. I could be wrong, which I why I got involved - to learn. But as I have been learning, this has been the case. We need to re-empower the municipal governments; especially Mississauga. We need to give Mississauga more legal autonomy to govern its borders and make decisions on its behalf. The federal and provincial governments need to step aside. There is a way to do this, through federal and provincial legislation. Check out the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to learn more. We, as a city, need to lead by example and demand charter rights for Mississauga so we can fix the grand-sanding problems created by ideologically misguided higher levels of government. 

And just quickly: I’m a musician. Musician have the innate intuition to know what to put where and at what time. I’m not saying I know everything and I’m never wrong. On the contrary, I mess up all the time. But I feel the time is right to put Mississauga on the map as the coolest city in Canada. We can do that if we all work together. And musicians love nothing more than to bring people together.
