A former City Councillor, "a prominent Mississauga businessman who was interim president of Hydro Mississauga Corporation until he "stepped aside" from the position more than a year ago, is charged separately with defrauding Human Resources Development Canada in relation to grants for summer employment programs."
Does he have a hard time showing up for court? It would seem to me, that if anyone of us (non-prominent Mississauga business-people), missed two court dates, for what appears to be no apparent reason, a bench warrant would likely to issued the first time. Word is that as he was represented by a lawyer he did not need to and judge (or was it a J.P. ?), eroded and that in the end the Court apologized to the Starrs' - waiting for more info to be sure.
This web-page has not been up-dated for some time and the out-come of this matter was the charges were withdrawn as I recall. As this was not a important matter to me it kept being moved down the to-do list and not getting done. However, Mr. Starr has pointed out to me that a POSSIBLE bench warrant with discretion means they only have to be available to attend Court during a very arduous process. I have ask him for more details as to his side of the story and await his reply.

The 2006 Election
The Long Knifes come out for Ron Starr.
In the closing days of the 2006 election a flyer was found being left at the doors of home in the Mavis Rd. & 403 area. It was 2 sheets of paper, done on the poor quality photocopier (likely liquid toner) and has certain lines highlighted by hand - someone sure has time on their hands. It has nothing to suggest who is doing it. Going to have to get the text posted some day - one is above. Really interesting how Mr. Starr talks about being re-elected - the last time he was in office was 1980.
