MUNICIPAL MELT-DOWN
IN
! MISSISSAUGA ELECTION !
2006
{call the Peel police the other candidate is winning!}
This web-page is being put up to list the odd, underhanded and out right unlawful events going on leading up to and including the 2006 election in Mississauga. The City of Mississauga election is fast going to the dogs or should I say the police! Like never before the Peel police have become the weapon of choice for candidates and unlawful acts common place. In the past Mississauga has had its fair share of underhanded and unlawful acts but they were usually discovered after the election - now they are the main event! One sure sign of a corrupt or morally bankrupt government is just this kind of activity.
PLEASE NOTE - In the below section - list of News items items are posted regarding the Editor for The Democratic Reporter, Donald Barber, being arrested in June of 2006. As I have run three time in the past against Hazel McCallion for the office of Mayor and appearing before City Council more regularly, the Mayor no doubt decided to launch a preemptive strike before my name was put in as a candidate - which usually was done on the last day for nominations, Sept. 29.

Would-be politicians scared to seek election
Mississauga News - Sept. 20, 2006 - Wed. - Was the "Missing" News trying to SCARE away candidates in an election where there is the genuine chance of more then one new face on City Council and really up-setting the status-quo and no more business as usual. One thing is for sure the Mississauga News should never have tried to "call" the election even before the filing deadline has pasted - it can easily be seen as an effort to keep people from running as it would be futile to even try! BUT more importantly they fear to even anger Hazel McCallion by running against her!

Wrong message - Letter to Editor
Mississauga News - Sept. 27, 2006 - Wed. - Letter to Editor by Roy Willis, about the article by Joe Chin "Would be politicians". The Mississauga News knows Roy Willis is a candidate for Mayor and usually that would mean the media should not publish letters by a candidate during an election as it needs to be seen as impartial and not giving any candidate greater media exposure. In this case they leave off the fact he is a candidate and print his letter really fast.

Going head-to-head with Hazel
Toronto Star - Nov. 2 - 06 - A prime example of how the Toronto Star campaigns for Hazel McCallion by failing to report her failures, miss-deeds and out right evil acts. This article clearly shows how a reporter (or editor) will NOT report what they knows as it will hurt McCallion's chances for re-election and how the facts are not presented or false information about the Mayor's challengers is - to defame them and keep the voters asleep - Soviet style journalism that Hazel McCallion loves to talk about so much.

Councillor Carmen Corbasson - was it on the tax-payers tab?More about the noted meeting here.
{ Notice how the Mayor like to put her name in capital letters? }
