2018 Peel Region municipal elections

Peel Region municipal elections, 2018, were part of the larger Ontario municipal elections, that took place on Monday, October 22.

2018 Peel Region chair election
October 22, 2018 (2018-10-22)

After ballots were cast, Patrick Brown was elected as the mayor of Brampton,[1] Bonnie Crombie re-elected as the mayor of Mississauga[2] and Allan Thompson re-elected as the mayor of Caledon.[3]

The election was intended to be the first ever direct election of the Peel Regional chair. However, the election of this position was cancelled after the Doug Ford government introduced The Better Local Government Act, 2018 (Bill 5) in August 2018.[4]

Open races

Jim Tovey, Mississauga councillor for Ward 1, died suddenly in January 2018. Tovey was in the midst of planning for massive waterfront redevelopment.[5]

In February 2018, Brampton councillor Chris Gibson announced his retirement in Wards 1 & 5. Officially a city councillor, he had been given the city's additional Regional seat for multiple terms.[6] Regional councillor Elaine Moore, from the same wards, announced her retirement in late March.[7]

Gael Miles retirement was made public the evening before the start of registration.[8] Caledon's Doug Beffort retired.

Peel Region chair

Original nomination process

In 2016, the provincial Liberal government announced voters in the 2018 election would elect regional chairs. Across the province, the selection of regional chairs varies, with some regional councils electing chairs while other chairs being selected by councillors. Peel Region traditionally appointed the regional chair from existing councillors.[9]

In early 2018, the candidates for the position of regional chair began to be nominated.

Starting the year "85% sure" he would run,[10] Ron Starr officially announced his intention to run for Regional Chair in late March 2018.[11] Later, after the cancellation of the position, Starr withdrew to run for re-election in Ward 6.

Rumours that were circulating of Patrick Brown running for Regional chair were neither confirmed or denied, when asked by Metroland in May 2018. Brown was accused of sexual misconduct in January, which he denies, forcing his resignation as Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario leader. He moved to Mississauga after being removed from the party caucus. He did not run for re-election as a Barrie MPP in the June provincial election.[12] Patrick Brown also withdrew from the race.

Mississauga councillor Nando Iannicca enrolled in July.[13]

Bob Delaney, former MPP for Mississauga-Streetsville, registered in July. Charles Sousa and Harinder Takhar, also former MPPs, agreed to not run, in an effort to not split the vote.[14]

Registered candidates included:

  • Amir S. Ali, Brampton
  • Parveen Dalal, Mississauga
  • Bob Delaney, Mississauga
  • Vitya Sagar Gautam, Brampton
  • Marcin Huniewicz, Brampton
  • Nando Iannicca, Mississauga
  • Masood Khan, Brampton
  • Ken Looy, Brampton
  • Gurpreet Pabla, Brampton

A shift in Ontario's government after the provincial elections, saw Doug Ford announce the cancellation of the voter elected position of regional chair in Peel.[15]

While this prompted Brown to pull his Chair nomination, to run for Mayor of Brampton, Delaney continued his campaign, noting that the law had yet to pass.[16]

Incumbent Frank Dale has indicated he may change his mind on retirement, according to The Mississauga News.[17]

Appointment process

TVO journalist Steve Paikin has heard suggestion of the following candidates:[18]

  • Nando Iannicca
  • Linda Jeffrey
  • Gael Miles
  • Elaine Moore
  • Charles Sousa

Former Caledon Regional councillor Barb Shaughnessy, who had run for Mayor of Caledon, indicated that she would not be pursuing the position.[19]

Brampton

Brampton had 313,273 eligible voters during the 2018 election. A total of 169 voting locations were open across the city.

Mayor

In October 2017, incumbent Brampton Mayor Linda Jeffrey announced her intent to run for a second term.[20]

Real estate lawyer Wesley Jackson was noted in a February 2018 Peel Daily News article as "hoping to become Brampton's next mayor."[21]

In July, John Sprovieri announced his intention to run for Mayor of Brampton.[22] Omar Mansoury withdrew.

On Election Day on October 22, Patrick Brown was declared the winner.[1]

Debates

Brampton Board of Trade is hosting debates of city council candidates throughout the day on September 17, 2018, through live stream, concluding with a Mayoral debate. Brown, Gosal, Jackson, Jeffrey, and Sprovieri were invited to the event. Questions were pre-selected from membership. According to the Guardian, the majority of the event saw "Brown and Sprovieri focusing much of their attention on Jeffrey's record and vice versa."[24]

The first Mayoral debate to allow physical attendance will be held September 20, 2018, at Sheridan College, Davis Campus, through The Pointer, an online news outlet for Brampton.[25]

Brampton Focus hosted a debate on September 25 at the Rose Theatre Brampton, inviting Jeffrey, Brown, Gosal, and Sprovieri. Media reports suggest that the debate was often drowned out by cheering and jeering.[26]

A debate was held by the Brampton Real Estate Board on October 4. All candidates were in attendance.[27]

Prime Asia TV Canada hosted a debate on October 18.[28]

Ward 3 & 4

Martin Medeiros won the wards over Shan Gill in 2014, by 100 votes.[39] Incumbent Martin Medeiros lived in Mississauga in 2014, but began a move to Brampton, allowing him to run in the election. Resident Peter Bailey filed a legal proceeding to try and remove Medeiros from office, but was unsuccessful. The action was in advance of a vote on the then-Hurontario Main Light Rail Transit project, which Medeiros wanted and Bailey did not.[40]

Former incumbent John Sanderson is a nominee for 2018; he ran for Mayor of Brampton in 2014, finishing second.[39] Sanderson has noted that the 2018 campaign is the "dirtiest" he's experienced, blaming Medeiros for the tone.[41]

Grewal, Kus, Medeiros, and Sanderson attended the Brampton Board of Trade debate.[42]

Kevin J. Johnston announced his intention to run in March 2018. Peel Regional Police charged Johnston in July 2017 with "willfully promoting hatred, a charge under the Criminal Code of Canada that carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail," according to Mississauga News.[60] Johnston withdrew his mayoral candidacy on July 25 and registered to run for Ward 9 city councillor instead.[61] Then on July 26, withdrew his councillor candidacy and re-registered as a mayoral candidate.[62] Johnston stated in September to be talking with four organizations a day.[63] Johnston ran for the same position in the previous election, placing 11th out of 15.

Former Conservative Party of Canada federal MP Brad Butt, currently the Mississauga Board of Trade Director of Government Relations, is a notable candidate.[68] Butt also considered running in Ward 6, but changed his intentions when Ron Starr re-entered that race, after the cancellation of the Regional Chair election.[69]

Kristian Velkoski withdrew to run for a public school board trustee.

An all-candidates debate was held September 19, by ratepayers' groups; Marco Pedri did not attend.

Ward 5

The Ward 5 incumbent is Carolyn Parrish.

Nikki Clarke was registered as a candidate, but disqualified. Clarke had waited until the last day of the nomination period to file her papers, and was soliciting signatures from City staff. This prompted incumbent Carolyn Parrish to ask for a review of the paperwork by the Clerk's department. A total of 8 discrepancies were found in signatures, and the nominee was not allowed to replace those signatures. Clarke came a close second in the 2018 provincial election, running for the NDP in Mississauga—Malton.[74]

Some of the candidates talked to the Mississauga News about issues important to them.[75] Malton Community Building Project hosted a candidate event on October 9.[76]

Ward 6

Incumbent councillor Ron Starr was in his third term on council when on March 28 at a city council session he announced his intention to run for the newly elected Region of Peel Chair.[77] Fourteen candidates entered the race to succeed Starr for the open seat with Joe Horneck being the first to register. July 23 one week before the filing deadline Starr decided to drop out of contention for Regional Chair with that race had 10 candidates including former PC leader Patrick Brown (now Brampton Mayor) and Starr re-registered for his incumbent ward, suggesting that he could do more in his existing position then as regional chair.[78] Starr was successful in winning re-election with Ward 6 by a margin of 347 votes proving the closest contest in the city, even though two other wards had no incumbents.[79] Mississauga News columnist John Stewart summarized the race by saying most of the city was a status quo election however "Horneck's loss is more politically impressive than most wins elsewhere. He almost unseated an entrenched council vet in a stable ward. As it is, he's Ward 6 councillor in waiting."[80]

Tahir Ali, Syed Mohammad Jaffery, Fazli Manan, and Avtar Minhas have withdrawn.
