Why is Alan Thicke listed as being from Brampton? This is an urban myth. He was born in Kirkland Lake and went to high school at Elliot Lake, neither of which is anywhere near Brampton. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.113.137.234 ( talk) 05:49, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Note that the article doesn't claim Alan Thicke was born in Brampton. His stepfather (Dr. Brian Thicke) had (or still has) a medical practice in the City of Brampton. This is Alan Thicke's connection to Brampton.

I added Best Buy / Future shop to the list of major businesses a week ago and it was deleted. Best Buy / Future Shop operates their largest DC (warehouse) At Williams Parkway and Airport Road,(Future shop is a subsiduary of Bestbuy, the warehouse is joint). They employ 500-800 people through out the year depending on seasonal demand! If you add in the number of people working in stores, I am sure it would be over a 1000 people very easily, but even with just the DC alone, we are talking more people then many of the companies listed! Please leave them in the list!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.56.255.140 ( talk) 14:51, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Note the sign saying welcome to Brampton says the population is 386,000 and that was changed in 2004. However the mayor said in Brampton guradian (april,29th,2005) that the population of brampton is 412,000. Has brampton's population jumped by 100,000 since 1999????
Brampton was such a only 220,000 people in 1995 i remember. Population climbing by 180,000 in ten years is insane. I think we should add two things about this page. One the growth and the demographics of the city which i very interested in knowing. Brampton is a growing city with a population confirmed over 400,000. Wow this city has grown alot. It all started in 1999 when the North of Brampton got developed a lot!!
750,000 population in 2010? Impossible! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.196.170.136 ( talk) 22:01, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't know where to add this but this paragraph seemed the most relevant given the options. I just wanted to say, I searched Brampton because I know it has a large Indian population. I was hoping to read a little about the history of the large Indian population. I also searched Wikitravel. I love Indian food and I am sure there are plenty of great Indian restaurants in Brampton. Sadly there was little information about the large Indian population on Wikitravel either. I am from Chicago and love to visit Devon street. If any Brampton residents happen to read this post and agree with me, please try and post some info on either site.

There is nothing "unprecedented" or "remarkable" about simple population growth that the City cannot cope with (due to the "Ontario" and confederate feds stealing all of our revenues, not abiding by their own laws, etc., and sorry, nothing in the Ontarios comes close to that compared to the City of Toronto).
Here is the population growth of the Canadas. See how many pages it takes before you manage to hit little Brampton under Vaughan (page 8), Barrie (page 9), Canmore (Alta.) (Town but with over 10,000 in population), Airdrie (Alta.) (City), with Brampton tied with Constance Lake 92 (Ont.) on page 14.

A whole 57,177 in pop growth from the 1996 Census to the 2001 Census. See how many other municipalities, just in the GTA, gained more; like the municipality of Toronto for example.
Try to keep it somewhat real. -- S-Ranger 10:32, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
_____
Brampton gained 57,177 people from the 1996 Census to the 2001 Census, so even with its little population of only 325,428 residents in 2001, how can it possibly mean anything when the City of Toronto gained more people in reality, 96,073 from the 1996 to 2001 censuses, with a 2001 population of 2,481,494? You think that Brampton is going to "catch up with the City of Toronto's population" (or is at all remarkable; let alone unprecedented, which is what was stated) by not gaining as many people as the City of Toronto does and having nowhere close to its (irrelevant) resident population either?
And it's nothing against Brampton: it's simple reality with verifiable sources, which is what encyclopedias are for -- not hype. You probably "think" that I'm "hyping" Toronto but it's only because you have an inferiority complex of some sort against Toronto if that's the case. I just state the facts and make sure that they're verifiable.
Statistics Canada doesn't release updated population estimates for CSDs/municipalities (just CMAs) and the Assessment Office of the Ontario Ministry of Finance doesn't release any CSD/municipal population estimates; only for "counties"/Census Divisions (CDs). So amalgamate Peel into one municipality with one city hall and no regional government/council and it will be able to compare apples to apples, with verifiability, as Toronto can: because the municipality of Toronto is also a CD, unlike the rest of the GTA with its 24 (at minimum) municipal governments/councils and four regional governments/councils. -- S-Ranger 16:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
And don't you ever pull this crap again: "I find Brampton's statistics credible. Prove they're not."
YOU PROVE THAT THEY ARE. YOU GET THE METHODOLOGIES, YOU MAKE DAMNED SURE THAT THEY ARE FROM A CREDIBLE SOURCE BECAUSE NO ONE CARES "WHAT YOU (or anyone else) HAPPEN TO THINK" AROUND AN ENCYCLOPEDIA. -- S-Ranger 17:33, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Brampton Governance Criticised for lack of Ethnic Diversity [Toronto Star, August 14, 2006] [2]
If there is critism of this addition then lets discuss it here. This is notable and an important subject. That the corruption of Brampton by individuals leads to new stories such as these is notable. We may not be in a possition to publish opinions and POV about how corrupt people and systems are, but the notable events and statements that do get in the mainstream medea needs to be documented so that Wiki does not become a Soapboax of the establishment to use as more of its propaganda for free. They pay enough for their propaganda paying off politicians and local media to conceil and misrepresent the facts about their inherant corruption. But the obvious parts of the consequenhces of their corruption such as the UNATURAL make up of the Council and Staffing of Brampton, which is a mirror reflection of its godfather the Region of Peel should be properly reflected on Wiki as notable information.-- Wiki The Humble Woo 18:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
In response to S-Ranger's removal of Brampton's population estimate:
Ontario estimates the 2006 population of Peel Region to be: 1,248,570. [3]
Peel region is made up of Brampton, Mississauga, and Caledon.
Brampton estimates 2006 population to be 434,000. [4] Mississauga estimates 2006 population to be 700,000. [5] Caledon estimates 2006 population to be 58,500 (Sorry, I don’t have a source for this one, but it's on the article page). Total of the three estimated populations: 1,192,500.
If anything, Brampton may be underestimating. Since Brampton and Ontario’s estimates seem to match, I reiterate that the Brampton estimates are reliable and should be included. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 17:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
The response I received from the Peel Data Centre at the Region of Peel follows:
While this might not be as good a response as what one might like, I think the fact that the estimates come from Hemson Consulting, a reputable firm, and take into consideration birth and deaths estimates, housing development statistics, and various other data, shows that this is not just some off the top of the head estimate of Brampton's population. I am satisfied that this is enought to support the inclusion of the figure in the article, and I have therefore included it. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 18:06, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
One oddity about Brampton's street network is the inconsistency of its north-south street dividing/numbering system. Queen Street is the official divider, with streets numbers increasing as as one goes north or south of Queen. However, this numbering sequence is only used for streets between McLaughlin Road and Highway 410, and only applies between Steeles Ave. and Bovaird Drive. Outside the boundaries of these four roads, the Regional numbering system (which begins at Lake Ontario), is used. This fact is usually not recognized, even by officials--for example, the Powerade Centre is usually labelled as being located at 7575 Kennedy Rd. South. "South" is technically incorrect, as the numbering sequence continues from Mississauga, and there are several houses to the north with address numbers higher than 7575. There are also several inaccurate street signs posted along Dixie Road (which lies east of the 410 and thus uses the Regional numbering system for its entire length through Brampton) that read "Dixie Rd. N".
Why was this section deleted? It was an informative paragraph on a little-known quirk of Brampton's street numbering system. How many other cities have that? A.L. 70.24.71.154 05:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I have emailed the city asking for confirmation that this is still the official motto, and I have left messages on the talk pages of a couple Latin speakers on Wikipedia for translation, although I think it's something like "Through struggle to the best society". └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 14:20, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

One the growth and the demographics of the city which i very interested in knowing. Brampton is a growing city with a population confirmed over 400,000. Wow this city has grown alot. It all started in 1999 when the North of Brampton got developed a lot!!
750,000 population in 2010? Impossible! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.196.170.136 ( talk) 22:01, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Bramalea is the location of an automobile factory in Ontario, Canada, owned by DaimlerChrysler and originally developed by Renault for the manufacture of its large Premier sedan.
Someone entered Lincoln Alexander as a school that lies in Brampton, however it's not, and actually lies in Malton (Mississauga). Also, a lot of the Catholic high schools were left out of the list.

I don't know where to add this but this paragraph seemed the most relevant given the options. I just wanted to say, I searched Brampton because I know it has a large Indian population. I was hoping to read a little about the history of the large Indian population. I also searched Wikitravel. I love Indian food and I am sure there are plenty of great Indian restaurants in Brampton. Sadly there was little information about the large Indian population on Wikitravel either. I am from Chicago and love to visit Devon street. If any Brampton residents happen to read this post and agree with me, please try and post some info on either site. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.21.196.197 ( talk) 04:42, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
There is nothing "unprecedented" or "remarkable" about simple population growth that the City cannot cope with (due to the "Ontario" and confederate feds stealing all of our revenues, not abiding by their own laws, etc., and sorry, nothing in the Ontarios comes close to that compared to the City of Toronto).
Here is the population growth of the Canadas. See how many pages it takes before you manage to hit little Brampton under Vaughan (page 8), Barrie (page 9), Canmore (Alta.) (Town but with over 10,000 in population), Airdrie (Alta.) (City), with Brampton tied with Constance Lake 92 (Ont.) on page 14. Or in the GTA around real population growth, not worthless percentages of a whole 5 people amounting to 1000% population "% change":

A whole 57,177 in pop growth from the 1996 Census to the 2001 Census. See how many other municipalities, just in the GTA, gained more; like the municipality of Toronto for example.
Try to keep it somewhat real. -- S-Ranger 10:32, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
_____
Brampton gained 57,177 people from the 1996 Census to the 2001 Census, so even with its little population of only 325,428 residents in 2001, how can it possibly mean anything when the City of Toronto gained more people in reality, 96,073 from the 1996 to 2001 censuses, with a 2001 population of 2,481,494? You think that Brampton is going to "catch up with the City of Toronto's population" (or is at all remarkable; let alone unprecedented, which is what was stated) by not gaining as many people as the City of Toronto does and having nowhere close to its (irrelevant) resident population either?
And it's nothing against Brampton: it's simple reality with verifiable sources, which is what encyclopedias are for -- not hype. You probably "think" that I'm "hyping" Toronto but it's only because you have an inferiority complex of some sort against Toronto if that's the case. I just state the facts and make sure that they're verifiable.
Statistics Canada doesn't release updated population estimates for CSDs/municipalities (just CMAs) and the Assessment Office of the Ontario Ministry of Finance doesn't release any CSD/municipal population estimates; only for "counties"/Census Divisions (CDs). So amalgamate Peel into one municipality with one city hall and no regional government/council and it will be able to compare apples to apples, with verifiability, as Toronto can: because the municipality of Toronto is also a CD, unlike the rest of the GTA with its 24 (at minimum) municipal governments/councils and four regional governments/councils. -- S-Ranger 16:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
And don't you ever pull this crap again: "I find Brampton's statistics credible. Prove they're not."
YOU PROVE THAT THEY ARE. YOU GET THE METHODOLOGIES, YOU MAKE DAMNED SURE THAT THEY ARE FROM A CREDIBLE SOURCE BECAUSE NO ONE CARES "WHAT YOU (or anyone else) HAPPEN TO THINK" AROUND AN ENCYCLOPEDIA. -- S-Ranger 17:33, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Brampton Governance Criticised for lack of Ethnic Diversity [Toronto Star, August 14, 2006] [2]
If there is critism of this addition then lets discuss it here. This is notable and an important subject. That the corruption of Brampton by individuals leads to new stories such as these is notable. We may not be in a possition to publish opinions and POV about how corrupt people and systems are, but the notable events and statements that do get in the mainstream medea needs to be documented so that Wiki does not become a Soapboax of the establishment to use as more of its propaganda for free. They pay enough for their propaganda paying off politicians and local media to conceil and misrepresent the facts about their inherant corruption. But the obvious parts of the consequenhces of their corruption such as the UNATURAL make up of the Council and Staffing of Brampton, which is a mirror reflection of its godfather the Region of Peel should be properly reflected on Wiki as notable information.-- Wiki The Humble Woo 18:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
In response to S-Ranger's removal of Brampton's population estimate:
Ontario estimates the 2006 population of Peel Region to be: 1,248,570. [3]
Peel region is made up of Brampton, Mississauga, and Caledon.
Brampton estimates 2006 population to be 434,000. [4] Mississauga estimates 2006 population to be 700,000. [5] Caledon estimates 2006 population to be 58,500 (Sorry, I don’t have a source for this one, but it's on the article page). Total of the three estimated populations: 1,192,500.
If anything, Brampton may be underestimating. Since Brampton and Ontario’s estimates seem to match, I reiterate that the Brampton estimates are reliable and should be included. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 17:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
The response I received from the Peel Data Centre at the Region of Peel follows:
While this might not be as good a response as what one might like, I think the fact that the estimates come from Hemson Consulting, a reputable firm, and take into consideration birth and deaths estimates, housing development statistics, and various other data, shows that this is not just some off the top of the head estimate of Brampton's population. I am satisfied that this is enought to support the inclusion of the figure in the article, and I have therefore included it. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 18:06, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
One oddity about Brampton's street network is the inconsistency of its north-south street dividing/numbering system. Queen Street is the official divider, with streets numbers increasing as as one goes north or south of Queen. However, this numbering sequence is only used for streets between McLaughlin Road and Highway 410, and only applies between Steeles Ave. and Bovaird Drive. Outside the boundaries of these four roads, the Regional numbering system (which begins at Lake Ontario), is used. This fact is usually not recognized, even by officials--for example, the Powerade Centre is usually labelled as being located at 7575 Kennedy Rd. South. "South" is technically incorrect, as the numbering sequence continues from Mississauga, and there are several houses to the north with address numbers higher than 7575. There are also several inaccurate street signs posted along Dixie Road (which lies east of the 410 and thus uses the Regional numbering system for its entire length through Brampton) that read "Dixie Rd. N".
Why was this section deleted? It was an informative paragraph on a little-known quirk of Brampton's street numbering system. How many other cities have that? A.L. 70.24.71.154 05:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I have emailed the city asking for confirmation that this is still the official motto, and I have left messages on the talk pages of a couple Latin speakers on Wikipedia for translation, although I think it's something like "Through struggle to the best society". └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 14:20, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
