The one in his left hand referred to Patrick Brown as a \u201cSlum Mayor\u201d, and the one in his right hand called for \u201cNo More Dictators at City Hall\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Under that wording, Goyat had written, \u201cBrampton Open For Residents Not Corruption!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>At the bottom of the other placard criticizing the mayor, he wrote: &#8220;Do Your Job Not Corruption&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>A vocal critic of Brown, Goyat recently helped expose an alarming property purchase by the City of Brampton pushed by the mayor, who demanded the acquisition of a former Alectra Utilities building at 175 Sandalwood Parkway for $78 million in 2023; after it had been sold by the public utility company three years earlier to a Brampton businessman Brown gave the citizen of the year award to, for $32.5 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the summer, Goyat provided documents to The Pointer detailing the unusual property transactions. Brown and City officials have refused to cooperate with details of the deal that were kept from the public.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Pointer is still investigating the matter, which has frustrated Goyat. He said his protest was an effort to call out \u201coverall corruption\u201d inside City Hall, and draw attention to other concerning issues including Brown\u2019s handling of <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointer.com\/article\/2025-06-28\/brampton-expanding-its-controversial-landlord-licensing-program\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the City\u2019s Residential Rental Licensing program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Brampton resident was arrested and charged with trespassing. He claims that because his demonstration remained non-violent\u2014merely holding placards\u2014the arrest violated his Charter rights.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were not shouting; we were not yelling. We were not speaking a single word, just holding the banners,&#8221; Goyat said in an interview with The Pointer. &#8220;They (City Security) told me to leave. I said, \u2018No, we can&#8217;t. We don&#8217;t want to go because that&#8217;s public property, and we have a right to peaceful protest. It&#8217;s a civil liberty; you cannot remove us from the property.\u2019 Then, they called the cops, and when they arrived, they warned me to leave the property. When I said no, they arrested me and issued a trespassing ticket.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The protest occurred during a live broadcast of CP24\u2019s holiday interview with Santa Claus. Goyat, along with three others, stood behind the broadcast holding signs protesting Brown\u2019s leadership and urging residents to \u201cfight for your rights\u201d. Goyat said the group was not interrupting the broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They put four or five bikes in front of us. We were just standing. I told them that I have the right to protest peacefully, and I&#8217;m not disturbing anybody. I&#8217;m not making any nuisance.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"503\" hspace=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/6927bcd6b8dec.jpg\" style=\"width:800px;height:503px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;border:0px solid black;\" vspace=\"0\" width=\"800\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"492\" hspace=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/6927bcd6f2b5d.jpg\" style=\"width:800px;height:492px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;border:0px solid black;\" vspace=\"0\" width=\"800\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">Azad Goyat (top) was arrested following a demonstration at Garden Square protesting Mayor Patrick Brown\u2019s leadership and alleged \u201ccorruption\u201d. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">(Supplied)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Goyat claimed the arrest was carried out at the behest of Mayor Brown, \u201cbecause I am very vocal and I am not scared.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a politically motivated action to silence my voice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a claim Brown\u2019s office immediately denied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeel Police do not accept political input in operational decisions, nor would the mayor offer any,\u201d Shawn Bubel, the Director of Communications for Brown, said.<\/p>\n<p>The Pointer sent questions to Peel Police about the arrest, but did not receive a response.
