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! McCallion takes another jab at region
Mississauga Business Times - Sept. 21, 2006 - Thur. - Even the business community wonders about the Mayor's obsession with separating Mississauga from Peel - "Now McCallion isn't advocating city state status for Mississauga, or dare we say it, a virtual dictatorship, but her ongoing battle to remove her city from the Region of Peel continues unabated." "Does she have the energy to continue the struggle?" Former villages adapting to intensification

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.
