To the main Judicial Inquiry page - to the Hazel McCallion page. Mississauga News - Sept. 3, 2010 - By (?) McCallion named to AMO board Mayor Hazel McCallion was reappointed to the board of directors of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) at the organization’s annual conference, held Aug. 16-18 in Windsor.“Cities are the engines of Canada and AMO brings municipalities together to discuss common needs to improve infrastructure and economies. In my role as a member of the board and the Large Urban Caucus, I am happy to help shape policy for the association that will benefit all municipalities in the province,” said McCallion. McCallion’s involvement with AMO began in 1969 when she was a regional councillor for the City of Mississauga. Over the years, she has held a number of AMO positions including president and vice-president. “AMO’s board of directors benefits from membership from across the province, reflecting the diversity of Ontario’s municipal governments. To that end, I am pleased to have Hazel on the 2010-2012 board team,” said AMO president Norman Sandberg.

M.O.M..A’s a dirtier word when Trolls from Ward 6 set up a pork barrel in Ward 2 to leach off * Agree 1 The Mississauga Muse Sep 6, 2010 11:52 AM @ Think About It. It's not just AMO and OMERS --it's the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing as well! For AMO and OMERS to work their dirt, the Province's Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, from Minister on down have to not just be looking the other way, but going about their daily business with eyes slammed shut. AND then lying to us-citizens about Ontario municipalities being world class. That vile little handbook, "A Kid's Guide to Local Government" contains the biggest LIE of all. "The Ontario government will always be extremely important to municipal governments. They remain limited to the authority provided by the province." Truth. The Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS) is more powerful than the Province. And they made sure that Hazel McCallion is on the AMO Board schlepping OMERS' agenda. Remember Michael Nobrega talking about OMERS' "larger interests" with the City? Email revealed that "City" was code for "McCallion". With McCallion sitting on the AMO Board, Michael Nobrega's got his butt parked there too. * Agree 3 Think About It Sep 6, 2010 11:39 AM Harmonizing AMO in with OMER's only broadens the features behind this brand new AODDer's Board. The Amalgomation Of Double Dipping * Agree 2 The Mississauga Muse Sep 6, 2010 10:51 AM @ Fartleberry, Those AMO cretins lie to your kids! Check out their "A Kid's Guide to Local Government" to be used with the Grade 5 curriculum. Quote: "Today, there are 444 municipalities in Ontario, ranging in size from large urban centres like the City of Toronto and surrounding municipalities with its 2.5 million people, to rural townships - some with fewer than 100 people. Whatever its size, each municipal government acts like a company with the power to make certain decisions for the people within its own geographic area. However, the decisions made by municipal governments must also follow the rules set for them by the Ontario government. This is because it is provincial governments, under Canada’s constitution, that have the authority to create municipalities and to determine what they can do." "must also follow rules set for them"? Andre Marin noted how the "powerful lobbying" of AMO turned the oversight/investigative mechanisms of Bill 130 into a farce. "must follow rules" --putrid bald LIE! Lying to kids! * Agree 2 Fartleberry Sep 6, 2010 8:30 AM Thanks AMO do we really need this? I sure hope Canada's communities are led by more 90 year olds in the future that are sitting on witness stands. The optics of this are terrible. Must be a nice little club I'm paying for. * Agree 5 The Mississauga Muse Sep 4, 2010 2:19 PM @ bettyyeti AMO OMERS! OMERS AMO! Same Disease. You wrote, "Would it not have been prudent to await the outcome of the judicial inquiry before re-appointing McCallion to the AMO board? Congratulations! This Board obviously consists of a pretty impressive collection of VERY SMART PEOPLE indeed." Please please PLEASE be careful. People need to see AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) for what it is. Government-sanctioned white collar crime. Essentially their role is to keep the 400-plus Ontario municipalities all on the same page warbling the same "In Ontario we are world-class" tune. The Board of Directors certainly appear to be chosen as front men --AMO lobbyists whose primary interests are to ...well, LIE. Just check out their mission statement, “In Ontario’s municipalities, people and families can live, thrive and prosper in the communities they call home, and children will have the choice and opportunity to live and work in the communities where they were raised.” * Agree 2 WatcherOIO Sep 4, 2010 12:26 PM ERROR - ERROR ALERT - ERROR ALERT - ERROR Missing News ERRORed again - “McCallion’s involvement with AMO began in 1969 when she was a regional councillor for the City of Mississauga.” From Hazel’s own web-page - “When the Region of Peel was established in 1974, Mayor McCallion was elected to the Mississauga and Peel Regional Councils.” Mississauga didn’t exist till the 1st day of January 1974 under the Region of Peel Act and the Town of Mississauga was 1968 to Dec. 31, 1973.

Only one taxpayer, but so many mouths to feed. Check out the money. Questions start, like how does "ShareTheRoad" http://www.sharetheroad.ca/ have money to fund this meeting? Where is their vision and leadership to allow Ms. McCallion's nomination to go forward? * Agree 7 The Mississauga Muse Sep 3, 2010 7:25 PM One of the MAIN reasons that Ontario is the Dead-Last Province in Accountability! Quote, "McCallion’s involvement with AMO began in 1969 when she was a regional councillor for the City of Mississauga. Over the years, she has held a number of AMO positions including president and vice-president." Gotta be folks! Why is Ontario the only province where social housing is controlled by the Municipalities?... Why has the Ontario Ombudsman called Ontario the "dead-last" Province for oversight into the MUSH sector and other publicly-funded agencies? Give me an "H"! Give me an "A"! Give me a "Z"! Give me an "E"! Give me an "D"! Yep! All of Ontario has been HAZED and HOSED! AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario. The Head of the Dupe-the-Public-snake) OMERS (Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System feeding the snake) *nudge* *nudge* *wink* *wink*... * Agree 4 Home Page - Main Table of Contents - Back up a page - Back to Top [COMMENTS BY DON B. - ] |
