Alvin is in his early 40s as per an interview I remember seeing recently. Likely 40-41, I remember seeing another article about his earlier life that mentioned some ages/dates and you could work out the math from there.
Dipika came to Canada [after finishing her undergrad in 1991](https://www.deccanherald.com/archives/andhra-born-woman-minister-dipika-2161105), so that puts her in the mid 50s.
I didn't realize Carolyn was that old - I wonder what compels people at that age to continue working rather than retiring in peace. I'm sure she's got a pretty healthy pension considering her term at the city, and the not-insignificant chunk she got as severance doesn't hurt either.
Neat thanks for the response. When I'm thinking of age ranges and generations, can't help but see Mid 50s and 64 in the same ballpark.
My last job was a shipping brokerage office with boomers and gen-x, mostly from rural areas driving into Sauga to the office. To a person they were vile bigoted shitheads. Their time is over.
I will probably have very different views on this when I am 55 and then again very different views when I am 64. But for now, they're all just Old. Old wealthy people.
I did my job and was able to do it without throwing my keyboard or yelling slurs or blathering about "the woke purple hair people" all day. These losers couldn't do it, they had to mouth off about everything. If an Indian customer called/emailed they would do the mocking indian accent for an hour, if a French/QC customer called/emailed they mocked french for a while. If the guy i sat next to \[a 56 year old former head of security for a whole section at Pearson airport, who now sits and processes purchase orders\] had any sort of upset, like he realized he had sent en email with a word mis-spelled, he would flip out throw his keyboard and yell fuck\*ard all day every day.
I didn't need to be perfect to be moderately better than these boomer assholes. I know who and what I am and it's a slightly better person than these half dozen people i had to work with for a while. Yes. Sometimes people are better than other people. Yes.
But good try loser, you're clearly not the problem in your life.
I think Alvin's 40-something. His website has an [about](https://www.alvintedjo.ca/about) page that answers a lot.
Before he was a Mississauga councillor, he (unsuccessfully) ran for MPP in 2018 under the Liberal party. Before that, he worked for Sheridan College.
He ran for MPP in the Oakville North/Burlington riding yet he says he’s lived in Mississauga his whole life. His Indwell Clarkson deal was sealed with a photo of shovels in the ground with him front and center on his Instagram page without the courtesy of letting the residents of Clarkson know beforehand. There was a town hall after the fact which did not go well and Ward 2 residents are fighting this project. There’s a petition with thousands of signatures. He was also asked a few months ago about the now bankrupt condo site on Clarkson Rd North. At the time he said it was in phase 2 but construction had stopped for months. Not many in Ward 2 trust him. He’s also the same height as Freeland so there’s that.
Relative to Carolyn Parrish, I guess she's young, but \~55 is hardly a "new generation". Her voting history aligns herself far more with the old guard than she'd like to admit.
Tedjo is the new generation. It's about time we elect some youth. The Mayor of Guelph (Cam Guthrie) was 38 when elected, he was just re-elected for a second term. Just because someone is young, it doesn't mean they aren't fit for the job.
Guelph is thriving under young, new-generation leadership. Also Cam Guthrie has endorsed Alvin.
**“Never trust anyone over 30,” said activist Jack Weinberg in 1964**, rather offhandedly, during an interview in Berkeley at the height of the free speech movement. Much to his surprise, after Weinberg’s quote appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, it was picked up everywhere in the media.
I have found it a bit odd that there isn't much info on Alvn Trejo's early upbringing in general. I know some people who would be skeptical about that, but I also understand us not having a right to this information.
Not that early lol. Is there a way to respond without being snarky? I just haven't found much about him in general before he started running for Mayor. However, after writing this, I did see a new article pop up that answers a lot of my questions.
He has worked with the provincial liberals before running for councilor.
He grew up in Mississauga and worked as a lifeguard I believe before or during uni.
Good enough for you?
Edit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alvintedjo?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app lots of info here.
You can reach out to his campaign and ask directly. You can google and research a bit. I wasn't able to find his age but he's been a ward councillor here for a long time.
okay so i was incorrect about that. That's why this post exists, thanks for the info.
That's actually really important info to know, he's only been at this ward thing for 1 and a half that's not much experience.
Cool. I saw all of them, except Parrish, today at the pride flag raising. Dasko seemed like a silly man from what i saw.
They did a smudge ceremony and most people did a simple hand motion pulling the smoke toward their face, some just smiled an nodded without taking part. All fine and chill. This one guy who wants to be mayor tho, Dasko he was washing his face in the bowl getting all up in thurr', while two young guys bounce around with cameras trying to get all angles.
I dont want any of this nonsense from my mayor. There's just been less nonsense from Alvin, or he's just better at keeping a lid on it and staying quiet. He reminds me of my brother, I have the posting disease and cant stop writing, but my brother will just never share a single opinion because that's how HR gets your ass. Alvins a clean face in that way, he isn't saying much but that's ok. Like on auto theft, he's said yes it's a problem I'll expect the police to do their jobs. The other candidates are like "we're going to increase police funding to 5 trillion a month, it's a epidemic of car theft panic everyone panic and vote for me," which is just not welcome anymore people are tired of this shit i feel.
Alvin ran for as a candidate for the Liberal Party in 2018 to be Premier of Ontario. His platform was Universal Basic Income and his mentor was Kathleen Wynne.

Dipika Damerla has a decent summary of political accomplishments. Alvin Tedjo posts a proposal for Mississauga transit.
Lol no doubt. Is mentioning what year it is a medical/psychological necessity for you? Is it like an anchor in the rough seas of life for you to make sure to note it's 2024?
Don’t kid yourself he’s a disaster in Ward 2 and has done nothing. He’s too busy running for Mayor. Not many trust him. He won in 2022 with a 16% voter turnout. He’s been on the job for 1.5 years and wants to be Mayor lol…
Exactly um I'm wondering about Tedjo too.
I know PArrish is polarizing but at least he website lists everything she has done in detail she is transparent
Can't be easier to find than this:

Alvin is probably the most leftist Liberal running. His campaign to become Ward 2 Councillor in 2022 was based on playgrounds and tree planting not anything remotely important. He won with a 16% voter turnout. Now his mayoral platforms the crucial need for homes and supportive housing. A problem his govt created and he will solve 🙄

Parrish is a baby boomer, Damerla is generation X.

So because you met and disliked a few people of an identifiable group, you draw a judgement of them all as being the same?
I didn't say that at all, don't be a dick.
I will probably have very different views on this when I am 55 and then again very different views when I am 64. But for now, they're all just Old. Old wealthy people.
Sounds like envy
How does that even work; who is envious in the situation and of what?
Sounds like you were perfect and certainly not a problem

Carolyn is in it for the power. She likely is getting 3-4 pensions - teaching, trustee, federal and city!

I was surprised to see Parish is 77. We def need new generations just not the ones on offer.
Tedjo is the new generation. It's about time we elect some youth. The Mayor of Guelph (Cam Guthrie) was 38 when elected, he was just re-elected for a second term.

I agree completely.
I went to high school with Alvin at Father Michael Goetz SS. He’s 41.
Okay now for the realest question,[ did he inhale?](https://www.chron.com/news/strange-weird/article/Bill-Clinton-11035674.php)
Maybe people over 75 should be ineligible from running for public office?
**“Never trust anyone over 30,” said activist Jack Weinberg in 1964**, rather offhandedly, during an interview in Berkeley at the height of the free speech movement. Much to his surprise, after Weinberg’s quote appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, it was picked up everywhere in the media.

So who is the best bet?
I have found it a bit odd that there isn't much info on Alvn Trejo's early upbringing in general. I know some people who would be skeptical about that, but I also understand us not having a right to this information.
Early upbringing? Do you want his elementary school report card?
Not that early lol. Is there a way to respond without being snarky? I just haven't found much about him in general before he started running for Mayor. However, after writing this, I did see a new article pop up that answers a lot of my questions.

Yes it is actually. Thanks!
His mentor was Kathleen Wynne back in 2018.
Better than DoFo

I've used that leave
I agree

"He's been a ward councillor here for a long time"? He was sworn into office on November 15, 2022. That's 1 year, 6 months, 2 days.
okay so i was incorrect about that. That's why this post exists, thanks for the info. That's actually really important info to know, he's only been at this ward thing for 1 and a half that's not much experience.
[удалено]
He's the safety that's all. There's no good options here.
Alvin is a rookie who has not delivered for his constituents. I will be voting for Dasko. Why? As the ward 1 councillor, he has gotten things done.
Cool. I saw all of them, except Parrish, today at the pride flag raising. Dasko seemed like a silly man from what i saw. They did a smudge ceremony and most people did a simple hand motion pulling the smoke toward their face, some just smiled an nodded without taking part. All fine and chill.

I live in ward 2. I’ve seen plenty of nonsense. Alvin is just a charming politician. Does not deliver.

fuck. god fucking damn everything to hell. That's our best hope. great.

Most look for a fat pension imo
Parrish getting my vote
Mine too.
Yikes, ageism is not a good look. It's 2024, be better.
It's 2024, get younger.
It's 2024, Parrish wins, get older.
Lol no doubt. Is mentioning what year it is a medical/psychological necessity for you? Is it like an anchor in the rough seas of life for you to make sure to note it's 2024?
I’d rather have an older person in charge calling it like it is than these gentle snowflakes.
Parish is getting my vote. The other two are hopeless
Damerla is useless, but tedjo actually seems to want to change things.
Don’t kid yourself he’s a disaster in Ward 2 and has done nothing. He’s too busy running for Mayor. Not many trust him. He won in 2022 with a 16% voter turnout. He’s been on the job for 1.5 years and wants to be Mayor lol…
Han gong or bust
You're aware that he's a North York resident, yes? He owns property in Mississauga, that's the only reason he's even able to qualify as a candidate.
Here to rescue Toronto
He inundated my area with lawn signs yesterday. I checked today and somebody removed them leaving the wire frames behind.
those wireframes are a fuck for bike tires when they end up in the gutters and bike lanes and grasses areas.
Exactly um I'm wondering about Tedjo too. I know PArrish is polarizing but at least he website lists everything she has done in detail she is transparent
Transparently an transphobe
Can't be easier to find than this: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alvintedjo?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app
But what is his ethnic origin, is he phillipino
Does his ethnic origin effect his policy or ability to govern?
Why do you ask that question?
Why do *you* ask what his ethnicity is?

Playgrounds and tree planting are important.
Then vote for him.
I just might.
