The winner of our Mayoral election may be a foregone conclusion (have they called it yet?) but at least there's enough of a race that one feels compelled to cast his or her ballot. Do our neighbours to the west in Mississauga even bother to follow their Mayoral race?
I realize we're voting for more than a Mayor today, but when it comes to the top municipal position, Hazel McCallion has held it for as long as I can remember. Hurricane Hazel has been Mississauga's mayor since 1978, almost 30 years ago. She's so popular, no serious challengers bother to run against her. This time around I see she has two challengers but somehow I don't think she's too worried about the outcome.
She's money in the bank so long as she's breathing.
