Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie has long wanted what she calls “Mexit”—a separation of her city from Brampton and Caledon—as she says Mississauga has long paid the lion’s share for Peel Region services. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Monday he supports Mexit, and the province is expected to announce on Thursday legislation to make it happen.
“I’m delighted that the premier has publicly stated that he’s on the way to separating Peel,” Crombie said at a joint press conference with Ford at a Mississauga firefighter training facility on May 15.
