Did Mayor Patrick Brown give away Treaty Land for Propaganda purposes to one private company?

May 29, 2025

Brampton occupies the unseeded territories of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat—nations violently displaced by colonial theft. While the city feigns commitment to reconciliation, Mayor Patrick Brown actively suppresses dissent, erases opposition from official records, and empowers divisive extremism.

As Sri Lankans who have endured intimidation and censorship at Brampton City Council, we expose Brown’s hypocrisy. He even tried to scrub our concerns from Council minutes—proof of his authoritarian instincts. He champions “inclusivity” while endorsing a monument that glorifies the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam), a globally banned terrorist group responsible for:

Child soldiers forcibly recruited into suicide missions
Massacres of civilians in villages, temples, and buses
Assassinations of leaders like Jaffna Mayor Alfred Duraiappah, Indian PM Rajiv Gandhi and Sri Lankan President R. Premadasa

Yet, in Brown’s Brampton, these butchers are rebranded as “freedom fighters”.

The Use of Treaty Land for Political Favors

We demanded a memorial honoring all victims—Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim—united in grief. Instead, Brown handed Treaty land in Chinguacousy Park to a private company to build a propaganda monument. Why were the other reputed Tamil organisations ignored? Why were the other groups such as the Palastinians or any others who actually experienced Genocide not remembered in Brampton. The monument (see pictures):

A distorted map of Sri Lanka, promoting separatist revisionism.
No recognition of LTTE’s victims—thousands murdered in bombings and executions by suicide bombers and child soldiers.
Who profited? What backroom deal justified gifting public space to a partisan entity?

Brown’s Bigoted Smear Campaign

His vile rant—“Genocide deniers, go back to Colombo!”—reveals his true character:

Silencing survivors of LTTE atrocities
Pandering to extremist lobbies for votes
Ignoring Canada’s real genocide (residential schools, Indigenous erasure) while fabricating foreign narratives

A Career Built on Scandals

Brown’s corruption is well-documented:

Nikki Kaur’s harassment allegations followed by her firing after challenging him

$630,000 wasted on BramptonU, a crony-contractor scam with no results

Decades of ethical failures, from federal politics to City Hall

Accusation of the use of City staff for Brown’s Federal campaign as well as his mother-in-law’s campaign.
