That beautiful Brampton is LONG GONE. Had a great time there in the 80s

[@TheMarky26]

The late 80s are when it started getting bad..We moved away in the 90s because my mom no longer thought it was a good place for a young family..

Back when brampton was a good place to live..The place i grew up.I miss my old home and im sad about what its become.

My family moved to Brampton in 1970 with a population of about 70,000. All I have now are fond memories of that small-town feel. Now?….wouldn’t go near it for many many reasons.

Hopefully the many reasons are not black,brown and yellow

Growing up in Brampton from 1961 to 1989 , I have lots of memories . Even a century before my time there , it's seen huge changes but I'd have to say the 1960's to mid 1975 was the nicest time and a safe town to City to be in .

[@ethelbramston4882]

During the 1960's us young married folk from the GTA had hopes of buying a home and living our lives in Brampton. Today, wouldn't go near the area!!!!!!

U r right, expectation was high before reaching Canada.But now feel like living in a ugly street

[@GeoDelGonzo]

I always knew Brampton to be a city of concrete and cars, cars, cars.. Its nice to see what it once was. I want to brave the boundaries of highway and try to find what is left from the video. I once came from a small countryside of Stoney Creek, till Hamilton started to pave over it with its tight subdivisions and tall homes. I've taken my family to a small town of Acton, but most likely a boom will come to that town too.

[@James-x9z3x]

Born in 1982. Still remember 1988. So nice to see what it was. If I could go back it would be to the 50s or 60s so I wouldn’t see this he’ll hole that it’s become the last 15 or so years. It’s a place where there were so many different cultures and for the most part a great place to live. Besides the Indian take over we start going wrong when we developed our farm land. If we don’t put an end to this illegal migration, this story will be about Canada and not just about Brampton! We are not far away! Please remember when you vote.

[@bilal8670]

Its always interesting to me reading the racist comments about Brampton online because literally all my white friends are the most accepting least racist people I know lol. Like they really make an effort to not be prejudiced and and thats what i love about them. All the young people i know really dont care about race and its pretty much the same across all ages. I see black, white, brown, asian kids all hanging out not caring at all about race because they have no reason to hate their countrymen yet. Its really beautiful seeing a kid in a turban walk to the park with his friend in dreads. It reminds me of my own childhood and my first friend who was Jamaican. Everyone agrees Brampton has problems and ill be the first to admit the faults of other brown people. Actually most brown people I know shit on brown people waaay more than the actual racists do lol. We are all just trying to get through this life hopefully with some peace and happiness. Wether you like it or not, we are your brothers and sisters. We fight and die for your liberty and ours. We will continue to do so.

[@fuwa9616]

I'm not interesting in antioracists, it is clear that the city was better with Europeans.

[@smudent2010]

We don’t care what you think k is racist. Immigration has ruined our country everywhere

[@giovanna722]

​@@fuwa9616Picture the place in India where you're from swelling in size from the advent of thousands of people, mainly white, from another country. These white people don't have any respect for your laws, and live much as they did back home because your city was reputed to have a welcoming policy re: foreigners. Your own culture which was built by your ancestors is gravely eroded. It takes careful planning to integrate people from very different civilizations.

[@trinity_null]

I ask all of you whiners to imagine what the indigenous of the region feel about YOUR presence, and then focus on the future.

[@fuwa9616]

Some of us are, and we didn't ask for India here either. What excuse do you have to justify yourself?
