Introducing The Peel Report

Happy Tuesday —

Each week for over a year, we’ve been in your inbox with coverage of the politics, policies and personalities at the Pink Palace. Now, we’ve got some news to share.

First: We’re growing. This morning, we’re launching The Peel Report. It’s a new newsletter, delivered every Monday and Friday at 6 a.m., covering the politics, policies and personalities of Peel, Canada’s fastest-growing region.

Why? In our view, there’s a gap — and clear hunger — for deeper coverage of local government. Consider this: When Mississauga went through a mayoral by-election just over a year ago, coverage was thin. Just three reporters were on the race full-time. Over in Brampton and Caledon, council drama has barely been noticed. Meanwhile, Doug Ford’s decision to undo the split of the region has made the future of governance — and the three cities’ relationships with one another — as murky as ever.

Here’s what you can expect: Twice a week, we’ll bring you obsessive, wall-to-wall coverage of local and regional council. We’ll follow the school boards and the budget brawls. Expect big scoops, the top headlines, fresh intel and sharp analysis. We’ll break down policy for the nerds, crunch the numbers for the wonks, track the movers and shakers, round up the key events — and serve up the gossip, with insider insight into the chamber intrigue. Plus, with campaign season approaching, we’ll lay out who’s in, who’s out and who’s pulling the strings behind the curtain.

For $20 a month — or a discounted $200 a year — you’ll get every issue in your inbox, plus full access to all our Queen’s Park coverage. As of next week, each Peel Report will become subscriber-only. Sign up here.

Second: New product, bigger team. We’re thrilled to share that Vikram Nijhawan is joining our team to lead the newsletter. Vikram has written hyper-local community coverage for Metroland and The Local Magazine. He completed his B.A. in English at the University of Toronto, where he co-founded Trinity College’s first student newspaper, and later completed his master’s degree in journalism at Columbia. Got a scoop? A story idea? Some gossip? Just tired of your boss? His inbox is open.

Ahmad Elbayoumi — who is back on the provincial beat full-time as of today — is now our managing editor. For readers, expect business as usual. He’ll continue to write our main newsletter and you’ll continue to see his byline on all things provincial, while leading the expansion of our shop and the direction of our A+ coverage.

Third: Starting next week, you’ll receive our main newsletter in your inbox each Monday at 6 a.m.

Why the move, you ask? We’ve heard loud and clear: you want us in your inbox to start the week, not finish it. So, every Monday, you can count on the same coverage, brain and style you’ve come to expect.

Buckle up! If summer’s any clue, we’re in for a hectic stretch. Later this month, we’ll learn the fate of Bonnie Crombie’s leadership. Marit Stiles is up for a review, too. Does Project Ontario find a stage at the fall convention? Will Paul Calandra pull the plug on the boards? What’s the next shoe to drop on Ontario Place? 

Get our Pink Palace coverage for just $5 a month — or $50 a year. Call it a steal. Sign up here.

As always, got a hot tip? A black envelope, you say? Got feedback?  We’re an email away.
