My Mayor – Hazel

I keep meaning to put up a post about 88 year old Mayor Hazel McCallion.  She’s been the mayor of Mississauga, ON (my hometown) for 33 years, elected 12 times as of the recent mayoral elections.  She’s an institution that nobody needs to run against – normally she gets at least 90% of the votes, [...]
