Donald Barber, Media Articles - Recent Events I am an example of a person who knew next to nothing about their government and how it works, who made the time to learn not only how government works but how to beat City hall. Perchance short on qualities seen by most as the needed skills, (some say grandly unsuited for this undertaking), such as spelling and grammar or good with names and faces. None the less, by shear hard work and the willingness to make sacrifices for the community, the Friends of the Cawthra Bush has been very successful. I try to be plain spoken and to understand the issues and in order to put forward the best solutions. I am a non-political a person who is taking a stand for democracy on behalf of all residents and opposed the "business-as-usual" methods used by the City of Mississauga to force its political will on us. A lifetime resident of Mississauga and the Lakeview area. I went to Cawthra Park Secondary School. Organized and leads the Friends of the Cawthra Bush, to stop both the City's logging and tree farming of this remarkable forest. Which is a long cherished community treasure and the striping away of our basic right as residents: the right to make an informed choice. I have preferred the academic side of life, reading (history), and learning how things work. I have been involved in rebuilding and designing projects. I have given freely of my time and money researching the Cawthra Bush affair and the general damage being done to Ward 1. I have interviewed seniors in the area to help record our local history for future generations. A lot more can be said and will in time but if you find little spelling and grammar problems, please note them to me and look past them. After all it is the content that matters. It was many years ago - Feb. 20, 1994, that I held a meeting at the Cawthra estate house and begin this campaign. At which meeting, a number of residents, were elected to represent the residents concerns to the City of the Mississauga. It is years later I am the only one of the group still actively trying to save the Cawthra Bush and all that lives in it. I am also doing the The Democratic Reporter to inform Mississaugans and the human race in general how politics work, how the little person gets screwed and how we can fight back.
