Detractors of the regional system, including Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion have accused Peel Region of being a redundant layer of government with an anti-democratic structure. Mississauga council has asked for the city to be separated from Peel Region and become a single-tier municipality, arguing it pays far more into the region and relinquishes far too much power, and did not have fair representation on regional council. They have argued that as a single-tier city, Mississauga would better serve its residents.
Opponents of Mississauga's position, including Brampton mayor Susan Fennell, have argued that from the 1970s through the 1990s, Mississauga was the chief beneficiary of Peel's infrastructure construction projects -- funded by taxpayers in all three municipalities -- and it is now Brampton's turn to benefit, as it is growing faster than Mississauga, which is mostly built-out. As well, they have argued that common infrastructure, such as waste and water services, would be more efficiently managed at a regional level.
THE ABOVE IS ONE SIDED IN FAVOUR OF WHAT PEEL REGION AND THE PROVINCE IS DOING TO MISSISSAUGA
That's not true. If you are going to keep the lies quoted about Mississauga stated by Brampton then you need to add my part that deals with those specific issues. You write Mississaugas possition your way, then counter it by adding irrelevancies without addressing the issues. My suggestion is you take both out and just state facts as follows:
Mississauga and the Region of Peel Controversy Seats on Peel Regional council are not assigned to member municipalities according to population or tax contributions, and this has produced considerable controversy within the region.
Mississauga comprises about 62 per cent of the region's population, but had been assigned 10 of the 21 council seats (or 48 per cent) distributed among the municipalities, with Brampton receiving six and Caledon five. In April 2005, the provincial government introduced legislation to assign two additional seats to Mississauga and one additional seat to Brampton starting with the November 2006 municipal elections. The bill passed in June 2005 and will give Mississauga half of the council seats -- 12 of 24. These numbers do not include the regional chair, who is appointed by council members.
Mississauga council voted unanimously to become a Single Tier Municipality and continues to pursue this objective
I posted the following two edits several hours ago and made a note on each of the prior editors talk pages who deleted it before; who now apparently don't have any issue with this. I will wait 24 hours for comments and/or suggested revisions and then re-post the articles in each of the Regional pages. I would hope that the critics do not simply delete it like vandals and then complain after I re-post it. I have given ample notice and opportunity for comment. This is Canada and not China. Facts about our governments here are properly publishable even if people can't handle the truth. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WikiDoo ( talk • contribs) 23:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Ontario is unique among the provinces of Canada with its structure of Nine Regional Governments, namely Peel, Niagara, Waterloo, Oxford, Muskoka, Durham, York, Halton and Metro Toronto.
The unique structures created by the government of Wm. (Bill) Davis in the mid 1970's using his majority government over the objections of the local Villages, Communities, Towns and Cities affected. In the thirty years since creation they have been under a constant struggle for power and local control with the local level governments about which of them will become the Single Tier Municipality when the local development reaches maturity.
In the case of Metro Toronto the struggle was won by Metro Region who succeeded in annexing the local Cities of Toronto a few years ago. A similar struggle is currently underway in Peel Region most clearly, but similar struggles have been won and lost in other places as the local governments struggle to break free from their Region to become Single Tier Cities and preserve democratic government structures over less democratic ones.
In Canada, because our constitution only names two distinct government i.e.; The Federal and The Provincial; these Cities and Towns do not have any proper say in the matter of their Regions since both are created by Acts of Provincial Parliament and neither are constitutional governments.
Whereas Cities and Towns are democratically controlled government organization with elected representatives and elected mayors and leaders, the Regions are not. Regions have no elected leader, no full time elected representatives on their Council with offices or personal regional management staff, and there is no structured system for obtaining a majority vote in any proportionate representation of its citizens. Not even a political party system exists that can attract accountability by the votes of its citizens.
I want to publish the above or something close. Please post your objections and edits to this so we can reach a concensus.
I also what to balance the slanted article that gives Brampton/Caledon views but not the Mississauga view by adding the with the following edit addition in the part.
Mississauga contends that it has always paid more into the Region of Peel than it ever got back. That Brampton and Caledon combined votes always exceeded Mississauga on Peel Council which has resulted in Mississauga always subsidising Brampton and Caledon dollar per dollar. Furthermore, with Caledon having a median income per citizens of over $80,000 where as Mississauga median income is in the mid $30,000 it is not fair that the taxes of lower income earners should be subsidizing higher income families living in Caledon.

I know that Peel has a flag that includes the coat of arms that's on this page over three diagonal bands, one each of green, yellow and orange, but I don't know which way the bands run, or the size of the coat of arms, and can't find one on the web. Anyone have information? OZLAWYER talk 02:27, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

In order to help resolve the debates currently active on this article, this article has been listed for informal mediation at the Mediation Cabal. The case can be found at: Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-07-05 Regional Municipality of Peel, Ontario -- AbsolutDan (talk) 05:11, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Note: if I missed you, just add your name and a "yes" next to it.
I believe to help with the above debate, the current "The Unique Regional Government Structure in Ontario" section should be spun off onto it's own article. The content is primarily focused on the regional structure of Ontario as a whole, not Peel. Once spun off we can then add to this article a link to the new article, and keep this article relating to Peel specifically.
Thus, I propose moving the entire "The Unique Regional Government Structure in Ontario" section into an article titled "Regional Government Structure in Ontario." I do not at this time propose removing or changing any other content. -- AbsolutDan (talk) 15:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I wanted to start an Article listing the Top Mandarins of Ontario Regional Government and when I started it was shot down for things like copyright violations or that I was somehow pushing a POV by simply listing information, or claiming I was posting a Bio of non-notable people.
I don't see what is wrong with making up such a list. It would basically list only the top Mandarins, the CAO, the Commissioner of Business Services, the Commissioner of Public Works and the Regional Solicitor. This would result in a list of say 24 individuals and can list where the came from to expand the job-stub of Wiki and provide interesting and useful reference information about who is who in government in Ontario Regions. This would not POV anything and simply be a source of information about who and how people get these jobs by listing their past jobs in government positions. Once up it can be expanded and be kind of like a hierarchy of command and control positions. No Bio's on them.
Can I have some reasoned comments here on why you people would object to such an article of pure reference information from being created on Ontario's regional government structure?
WikiWoo 05:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
This arcticle was started and then there where edits and discussions about moving it to its own page. It's been deleted but I thing another attempt should be made to crete a new one whith everyone working hamoniously to reach a consensus. Its a rather important and interesting piece. The structure was set in place in 1970's and it is still running its course in Ontario shaing the face of Ontario and therefore all of Canada in the eyes of the world. I would therefore propose we bring back the frame of the article that was sarted and link the Nine Regions to it. Wiki BADASS Woo 2U 02:58, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I stopped contributing to this article for a while because of the animosity caused by the various edits. I made a revert to this article on Aug 5, as I saw that WikiDoo/Roo/Woo was again pushing POV in a section now called "Interesting Facts", making uncited claims about the structure designed to give 2 of 3 municipalities control (please find the section that mandates this). It was then reverted back to WikiWoo's version, with further POV-pushing content. If this is an argument, then it should go into the controversy section and then countered if appropriate. I am getting tired of the continued edits and reverts of this and other articles. -- Spmarshall42 23:44, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
What is the beef with the interesting facts section that is being censored by JChap and GaryWill?
I see that WikiWoo has successfully protected this page, citing repeated vandalism. I guess we need to resolve this.
– Now, in my opinion, I doubt that this will be easily resolved, given the longstanding debate about POV between one user and several others. My opinions can be found above, so I don't feel that I need to repeat them here. I again gave up on editing the page itself because of all the reverts that have been taking place before this page got locked, but I hope for a page that will again meet Wikipedia's standards for a well-written, NPOV article. -- Spmarshall42 14:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Which has the loosest screws, those that belong to a secret society or those who are critical of anyone belonging to any secret society. This tends to be a POV and if Wiki is true to the tune you play on balance both POVs should have equal attention. I don't know much about the masons one way or another, but anything that is kept secret and tries to influence world events can't be a good thing-- Wiki The Humble Woo 16:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I think if everyone will agree that having more content on Wiki is the objective, then efforts to NOT CENSOR content must be the first rule. Look's like several people here want to be editors on this page. So lets all be editors and not CENSORS. Have respect for other editors who are contributing and don't do blatant reverts, because that is vandalism when you know the editor was trying to add content and make contributions. I see no problem with requesting cites or REWORDING someones contribution leaving the information and facts when a POV is shown in the delivery of the facts. Deleting facts is not being a good editor and shown disrespect and lack of civility-- Wiki The Humble Woo 00:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I have assigned an initial rating of "Start" to this article, but I think it's within striking distance of a "B". More experienced editors should be asked to review it. A few suggestions I have for improving it are:
PKT ( talk) 20:46, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
The opening says that Peel Region is served by seven 400-series highways serving Peel Region, but I only count six: The QEW, 403, 401, and 407 ETR running east-west, and the 410 and 427 running north-south (427 marks the boundary between Peel and Toronto so it should count).
Not sure what the author was counting, but the only other highway that comes anywhere close is the 409 which lies completely within the City of Toronto. I suppose technically it serves westbound 401 traffic to facilitate travel north on the shared 427, but that seems like a stretch. Maybe the statement could be changed to just say an extensive freeway network? Maybe I'm splitting hairs because I've been up all night? 99.228.207.119 ( talk) 12:28, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
409 does enter the airport proper and thus does enter Peel Region. It ends at Airport Road within Peel. I would not count 427 myself as it skirts the border for a very short stretch but it is essentially within Toronto and Vaughan Region. It does not "serve" Peel Region at all. The original border was Indian Line Road, now essentially abandoned. I live in Peel Region, and before that I lived in Toronto right beside 427 Highway. NevarMaor ( talk) 23:43, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Detractors of the regional system, including Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion have accused Peel Region of being a redundant layer of government with an anti-democratic structure. Mississauga council has asked for the city to be separated from Peel Region and become a single-tier municipality, arguing it pays far more into the region and relinquishes far too much power, and did not have fair representation on regional council. They have argued that as a single-tier city, Mississauga would better serve its residents.
Opponents of Mississauga's position, including Brampton mayor Susan Fennell, have argued that from the 1970s through the 1990s, Mississauga was the chief beneficiary of Peel's infrastructure construction projects -- funded by taxpayers in all three municipalities -- and it is now Brampton's turn to benefit, as it is growing faster than Mississauga, which is mostly built-out. As well, they have argued that common infrastructure, such as waste and water services, would be more efficiently managed at a regional level.
THE ABOVE IS ONE SIDED IN FAVOUR OF WHAT PEEL REGION AND THE PROVINCE IS DOING TO MISSISSAUGA
That's not true. If you are going to keep the lies quoted about Mississauga stated by Brampton then you need to add my part that deals with those specific issues. You write Mississaugas possition your way, then counter it by adding irrelevancies without addressing the issues. My suggestion is you take both out and just state facts as follows:
Mississauga and the Region of Peel Controversy Seats on Peel Regional council are not assigned to member municipalities according to population or tax contributions, and this has produced considerable controversy within the region.
Mississauga comprises about 62 per cent of the region's population, but had been assigned 10 of the 21 council seats (or 48 per cent) distributed among the municipalities, with Brampton receiving six and Caledon five. In April 2005, the provincial government introduced legislation to assign two additional seats to Mississauga and one additional seat to Brampton starting with the November 2006 municipal elections. The bill passed in June 2005 and will give Mississauga half of the council seats -- 12 of 24. These numbers do not include the regional chair, who is appointed by council members.
Mississauga council voted unanimously to become a Single Tier Municipality and continues to pursue this objective

I will wait 24 hours for comments and/or suggested revisions and then re-post the articles in each of the Regional pages. I would hope that the critics do not simply delete it like vandals and then complain after I re-post it. I have given ample notice and opportunity for comment. This is Canada and not China.

Ontario is unique among the provinces of Canada with its structure of Nine Regional Governments, namely Peel, Niagara, Waterloo, Oxford, Muskoka, Durham, York, Halton and Metro Toronto.
The unique structures created by the government of Wm. (Bill) Davis in the mid 1970's using his majority government over the objections of the local Villages, Communities, Towns and Cities affected. In the thirty years since creation they have been under a constant struggle for power and local control with the local level governments about which of them will become the Single Tier Municipality when the local development reaches maturity.
In the case of Metro Toronto the struggle was won by Metro Region who succeeded in annexing the local Cities of Toronto a few years ago. A similar struggle is currently underway in Peel Region most clearly, but similar struggles have been won and lost in other places as the local governments struggle to break free from their Region to become Single Tier Cities and preserve democratic government structures over less democratic ones.
In Canada, because our constitution only names two distinct government i.e.; The Federal and The Provincial; these Cities and Towns do not have any proper say in the matter of their Regions since both are created by Acts of Provincial Parliament and neither are constitutional governments.
Whereas Cities and Towns are democratically controlled government organization with elected representatives and elected mayors and leaders, the Regions are not. Regions have no elected leader, no full time elected representatives on their Council with offices or personal regional management staff, and there is no structured system for obtaining a majority vote in any proportionate representation of its citizens. Not even a political party system exists that can attract accountability by the votes of its citizens.
I want to publish the above or something close. Please post your objections and edits to this so we can reach a concensus.
I also what to balance the slanted article that gives Brampton/Caledon views but not the Mississauga view by adding the with the following edit addition in the part.
Mississauga contends that it has always paid more into the Region of Peel than it ever got back. That Brampton and Caledon combined votes always exceeded Mississauga on Peel Council which has resulted in Mississauga always subsidising Brampton and Caledon dollar per dollar. Furthermore, with Caledon having a median income per citizens of over $80,000 where as Mississauga median income is in the mid $30,000 it is not fair that the taxes of lower income earners should be subsidizing higher income families living in Caledon.

I believe to help with the above debate, the current "The Unique Regional Government Structure in Ontario" section should be spun off onto it's own article. The content is primarily focused on the regional structure of Ontario as a whole, not Peel. Once spun off we can then add to this article a link to the new article, and keep this article relating to Peel specifically.
Thus, I propose moving the entire "The Unique Regional Government Structure in Ontario" section into an article titled "Regional Government Structure in Ontario." I do not at this time propose removing or changing any other content. -- AbsolutDan (talk) 15:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I wanted to start an Article listing the Top Mandarins of Ontario Regional Government and when I started it was shot down for things like copyright violations or that I was somehow pushing a POV by simply listing information, or claiming I was posting a Bio of non-notable people.
I don't see what is wrong with making up such a list. It would basically list only the top Mandarins, the CAO, the Commissioner of Business Services, the Commissioner of Public Works and the Regional Solicitor. This would result in a list of say 24 individuals and can list where the came from to expand the job-stub of Wiki and provide interesting and useful reference information about who is who in government in Ontario Regions. This would not POV anything and simply be a source of information about who and how people get these jobs by listing their past jobs in government positions. Once up it can be expanded and be kind of like a hierarchy of command and control positions. No Bio's on them.
Can I have some reasoned comments here on why you people would object to such an article of pure reference information from being created on Ontario's regional government structure?

I again gave up on editing the page itself because of all the reverts that have been taking place before this page got locked, but I hope for a page that will again meet Wikipedia's standards for a well-written, NPOV article. -- Spmarshall42 14:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Which has the loosest screws, those that belong to a secret society or those who are critical of anyone belonging to any secret society. This tends to be a POV and if Wiki is true to the tune you play on balance both POVs should have equal attention. I don't know much about the masons one way or another, but anything that is kept secret and tries to influence world events can't be a good thing-- Wiki The Humble Woo 16:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I think if everyone will agree that having more content on Wiki is the objective, then efforts to NOT CENSOR content must be the first rule. Look's like several people here want to be editors on this page. So lets all be editors and not CENSORS. Have respect for other editors who are contributing and don't do blatant reverts, because that is vandalism when you know the editor was trying to add content and make contributions. I see no problem with requesting cites or REWORDING someones contribution leaving the information and facts when a POV is shown in the delivery of the facts. Deleting facts is not being a good editor and shown disrespect and lack of civility-- Wiki The Humble Woo 00:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I have assigned an initial rating of "Start" to this article, but I think it's within striking distance of a "B". More experienced editors should be asked to review it. A few suggestions I have for improving it are:

The opening says that Peel Region is served by seven 400-series highways serving Peel Region, but I only count six: The QEW, 403, 401, and 407 ETR running east-west, and the 410 and 427 running north-south (427 marks the boundary between Peel and Toronto so it should count).
Not sure what the author was counting, but the only other highway that comes anywhere close is the 409 which lies completely within the City of Toronto. I suppose technically it serves westbound 401 traffic to facilitate travel north on the shared 427, but that seems like a stretch. Maybe the statement could be changed to just say an extensive freeway network? Maybe I'm splitting hairs because I've been up all night? 99.228.207.119 ( talk) 12:28, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
409 does enter the airport proper and thus does enter Peel Region. It ends at Airport Road within Peel. I would not count 427 myself as it skirts the border for a very short stretch but it is essentially within Toronto and Vaughan Region. It does not "serve" Peel Region at all. The original border was Indian Line Road, now essentially abandoned. I live in Peel Region, and before that I lived in Toronto right beside 427 Highway. NevarMaor ( talk) 23:43, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
