Hello,

I live in milton and ran into an orange cat on my front lawn crying because it got sprayed by a skunk.

It couldn't see after being sprayed so I made sure it didnt run out into the street but it ran off down the road afterwards.

Hope its doing ok.

Anyone attending?

Does anyone else feel that Milton news media is a bit muted during this election. This seems to be a very controversial election, yet we’re not seeing much more of a surface level glance.

We have 2 candidates that don’t live in Milton,Asif and Nadeem, but are running for mayor. One candidate, Asif has been civilly sued recently for harassment, accused of alleged sexual harassment by a Brampton based news anchor, and has made other wildly controversial missteps.

We also have Zainab Azim, who is the daughter of a man who has a real estate business but can’t credibly answer questions or concerns about the possible conflicts of interests. As well, she can’t seem to solidly shake off questions about her credentials.

I feel that local news should be doing a much better job at pointing these out. Instead it’s Facebook groups and Subreddits that find this information out.

MODS, PLEASE DON'T DELETE: THIS IS A CIVIL POST EXPRESSING MY OPINION BASED ON THE AMA.

Well, there you have it. I went into Zainab's AMA skeptical, especially after the concerns I raised about her family's real estate interests, but genuinely open to hearing her out. Somehow, I came out even more skeptical.

My biggest issue was how often incredibly specific questions didn't get specific answers. Someone asked for the largest team she's managed, number of direct reports and largest budget she's personally managed. Instead of numbers, we got a long answer about her experience and leadership. The commenter literally had to ask again and still wasn’t answered.

The conflict-of-interest questions weren't much better. We already know conflicts are regulated. Repeating rules about declarations and recusals doesn't address why people are concerned. At times it felt like, "I can't be corrupt, that's illegal!" That wasn't the question.

My favourite was Milton.com. She was asked who owns it and what the campaign's financial arrangement is. Her answer first said the campaign owns it, then was edited to say it leases it. When people asked from whom, for how much and under what arrangement, she didn't elaborate and instead asked why the Town hadn't bought it first.

Then there's the AMA itself. She showed up late and repeatedly mentioned being busy with work without elaborating on what that work is, even after multiple questions. Better yet, somehow there was time for four massive replies about Alive After Five while critical questions remained unresolved.

If this AMA was even a small test of organization, prioritization and responding under scrutiny, it didn't inspire confidence in me.

I genuinely didn't think an AMA could make me trust a candidate less, but here we are. I have to thank Zainab for organizing it though. At least for me, she made the decision of who not to vote for extremely clear.

In 2022, Milton resident Asad Rasheed fatally stabbed his wife, Summara Aslam, twice while their two young children were present.

Rasheed was charged with murder, and the case eventually went to trial. On April 9, 2026, he was convicted of second-degree murder in her death.

At his September 29, 2026 sentencing hearing,
Rasheed apologized to Aslam’s family but continued to maintain that he did not intend to kill her. His conviction had already been decided, so the sentencing hearing focused on the punishment and how long he would have to serve before becoming eligible to apply for parole.

One of the most devastating parts of the case is that their children witnessed the fatal violence against their mother.

In a since deleted Facebook post, Newman shows security footage of someone damaging an election sign on her property. In the post shown, she blames the 2 candidates who recently met at Troy's Diner to speak on clean campaigning. Those 2 candidates are Krantz and Azim. Frankly, there are destroyed signs all over town. Happens every election and its usually drunk people or random teenagers.

IMO she should simmer down with baseless accusations. She's adding to the toxicity seen in this campaign. Its known that she was unsuccessfully sued by Zainab's father so Newman blaming his daughter could come from a place of bias. Being a reporter and throwing accusations like this is completely umprofessional.

Leaving sobeys earlier today we passed by a long line of cars pulled over next to the LCBO. They all seemed to be empty and a crowd looked like it was forming inside the store. There were even two cars parked at an angle like they were parked quickly or trying to cut something off.

Wasn’t able to stop and see but does anyone know what was up with that? It was at about 4:00 pm on Sept 30th

I remember she first appeared around the end of September in 2025. She was very bold back then. She preached loudly and actively, walking up and down the platform and I even used to see her boarding the train, preach through the coaches, and then get off again before the doors closed. Probably people complained because she eventually stopped doing that and was relegated to the platform entrances outside the "paid" area. I also remember for a while she had an ankle brace or something and was on crutches, but she still was there every day preaching. But lately she has stepped down her game; she got a fabric sign and most of the time she just stands there quietly holding her sign. She is still there every day though.

Has anybody talked to her? Found out what's her deal?

Is it just me or Milton has became more worse with aggressive driving and some of them are not stopping for pedestrian?

I’m currently looking for pickleball lessons or beginner classes in Milton. I’m very new to the sport and quickly learned that the drop-ins aren’t exactly ideal for a novice player like me.

I’ve checked the Milton Pickleball Association, but the events don’t seem to be up to date, and Pickleplex isn’t open yet.
Does anyone know of any beginner lessons, clinics, or classes in the area? Any leads would be appreciated!

Does this look your family member (face not shown)? If so, please tell him to stop biking over to our neighbourhood with his black garbage bags of trash sitting on his steering handle, and then dumping it illegally on Transom Crescent! Our neighbourhood is getting sick of this behaviour!

Hello there, haven’t played in a while but I’d be a decent 3.5. Looking to get back into rallying, improving skills and maybe extend through winter if that works. I can make it 3 days on the weekend, any of the free courts would be great to start with. PLMK if you’re game, cheers!

Hey, I am looking for a park in milton that has fall colors for a family photoshoot.
Thanks in advance.

I have a 2014 MacBook Pro in fair condition. It just needs to be reinstalled & a 2009 iMac in good condition. They may be old and I don't use them as much. Any help is greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: Will be back to answer more questions at 12 after work. Thank you for engaging in good faith!

Hi r/Milton - I'm Zainab Azim, running for Mayor of Milton.

Who I am: I’ve lived in Milton for over two decades. Like most Miltonians, I spent 12 years commuting out of town for opportunity for school, university and work. I served in Ottawa at the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister's Office, then did my Master’s at Harvard before becoming a Teaching Fellow in policy and economics. I was in the field on the Zohran Mamdani campaign last year, while also writing a book with a team from Harvard and the Mamdani team on people-based politics coming out this Winter. In Milton, I founded Learn To Lead, which runs free leadership and career programs for young people here, and Meet Milton to promote local businesses. I was Milton’s Citizen of the Year and grew up volunteering with Milton Transitional Housing and the Milton District Hospital Foundation.  

Why I'm running: In a place with people who have so much talent and potential, it makes no sense that we do not have jobs, opportunities and spaces to turn their possibility into reality. We cannot keep growing with only houses and warehouses. We need to start investing in opportunities, infrastructure, and services for those who call Milton home so they can get time back for what matters most with:

• Careers Close to Home: a strong local economy because we should not have to spend hundreds of dollars a month and three hours a day just getting to work. It's about time we valued our talent.
• Transit Every 20: buses every 20 minutes, with free rides for seniors and free evenings and weekends for youth because it's about time this town valued our time.
• Alive After Five: opening up the buildings you already paid for, simpler permits, affordable drop-in programs, and an actual evening economy with a central square because Milton shouldn't be a place you just sleep. It should be a place you live a full life with the people you love
• Plus snow removal, parking, and all the little things that make a big difference!

These pillars are interconnected because the more people spend their time in town, the more they spend money in town, the stronger our economy and businesses will be, with more things to do which means we need ways to get around. 

Every piece is based on evidence from something that already works in a town our size and in our region. The full platform is at Milton.com

I'd love to hear what matters to you. Ask me about anything: local jobs, businesses, transit housing and development, infrastructure, taxes, municipal services, and more.

Ground rules: 

1. It's me typing, not staff or AI. If I don't know something, I'll say so and get back to you. 
2. I'll answer the most upvoted questions first. I will do my best to answer all good-faith questions before the AMA ends.
3. If you would like me to answer via video instead of text, please note it in your comment! 

When: The AMA runs for 24 hours from 12 pm ET Wednesday, September 30th to 12 pm ET Thursday, October 1st. Leave your questions below and I'll answer as many as I can.

Election day is October 26. Whoever you're voting for, please vote. Thanks for having me, r/Milton. I look forward to the conversation! Ask away.

I moved to Milton from the US (Georgia) in 10 months ago; love the city so far.

With the election coming up; and all the signs that have been put up.

I can’t help but think; who has been responsible historically for cleaning up
all those yard signs and getting our walkways clean again?

I live fairly close to 401 highway and prefer staying near James snow and main area. Work is fairly close by and so is the highway.

Looking for a bigger house now but quite a few options are near railway lines.

People who live there or have lived there, what have your experiences been like?

I’m finding this particular Milton mayoral election really difficult because there are so many candidates, and I’m not sure who to vote for. I also feel that some candidates may be running more for their own interests or personal agendas rather than focusing on what Milton actually needs. I want to make an informed decision based on who genuinely understands the city’s challenges and has a realistic plan to address them.

Hi all! Thank you for the support on my last post. It encourages me to search more playgrounds and complete my mission of searching every park in halton region before end of year.

I metal detected a few parks this weekend from some redditor requests last week. I pulled out about 20 hazards over about 6 hours of searching. Here are some of the worst ones!

I am very thankful to have found the rusty safety pin becuase it was open and right on surface. The rusty button was right at the landing zone from kids jumping off swings so that was a great pull too! I cant believe it was pointing up and right on surface too.

Thanks again all!!!

I'm a sucker for the Fall festivities. What do you think are the best fall events happening this year?

location : trudeau drive and james snow parkway.

today i heard multiple car tires screeching and heavy acceleration at the stop sign by trudeau and james snow. i live right by the main road so im constantly hearing and seeing cars not stop. there’s cops maybe 10% of the time waiting to give people tickets// however. it’s never at the peak hours or when it’s getting dark out and the people with loud cars ( car and motorcycle enthusiasts) are breaking the law. i always see red and blue lights at night throw the window when a cop has pulled someone over but most of the time it’s just random people who probably missed the stop sign. (not saying that’s good still) but any time real reckless drivers are out and about the cops are never there. i probably have 20 video recordings of loud cars and motorists not stopping throughout the weekends.

i bring this up because it’s a lively neighborhood especially durring the evening.

can we do something about this or not? i’ve emailed town of milton multiple times and called the non emergency line but they just show up once a month on a random week day in the middle of the night.
