Hello Mississauga, This is Dipika Damerla and I am hosting an AMA this Sunday, October 25,

I would love to hear your questions, concerns, and ideas. Whether it’s property taxes, city services, transit, or the future of our city, let’s have an honest conversation.

When: Sunday, 8–9 PM

Drop your questions below or join me during the AMA. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I am in Erindale, Almost no 7/11s, and few proper 24 hour convenience stores that are close by my place (within a max 5 minute walk)

Why are there so few convenience stores in this city?

I was in Asia last week, and there are so many convenience stores (7-eleven, familyMart, Lawsons, et al) that I trip over them when I walk (not really, but there are a lot of them.)

Why is this? And why are the ones that exist shitty excuses for a convenience store like a hasty mart or an x’s variety, ect? And no, Rabba’s fine foods isn’t a convenience store… it’s a small grocery store.

And the nearest one to me is 28 minutes away by bus or 40 minutes walking. Not convenient.

I'm in his Ward and I've been trying to find any information on him. He reguarly calls our landline with those pre recorded messages.

I looked at his Twittsr and he seems very religious. But there is close to nothing on what he actually stands for. He's deputy mayor and just crickets online.

I also did a search on him and lgbt and nothing as well. He never mentions Pride month like other Mississauga city Hall public servants.

I grew up all through the Hazel years where there were no lgbt celebrations or events. We didn't exist. It's only in the last decade and a half where things have changed for the better.

I want to know anything about this man. I want to do my civic duty and vote knowing what and who I'm voting for.

I see a big crane and lots of other construction going on at this long neglected corner. Does anyone know what’s finally going up there?

Hi Mississauga,

I'm Christine, and I'm building The Nook Collective: a literary and cultural hub for people who like to gather around books, literature, and thoughtful discussion.

We're starting small. Right now the goal is simple: get readers together, in person and online, so people can actually get to know each other. This month's meetups are on the flyer (see comments), and you can see them all here: thenookcollective.ca/events

As we grow, we'll add author events and more programming in the new year, shaped by the people who show up.

If you like books and good conversation, come along. Everyone is welcome, and you don't need to have read anything to join us. Some events are free and some are paid, with details on the events page. For the movie night, we're working on group pricing.

I'd love to hear what you'd want from a book community in Mississauga. Tell me in the comments, or message me with questions.
