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.

Councillor Parrish who does like the answers that City staff give says "So if I ask questions in open session on (cable) television, I have a right to do so," What a great article not only does it document how "Simmering tensions between Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion and newbie Councillor Carolyn Parrish erupted at council", as it has often been said that Councillor Parrish "a former MP rumoured to have ambitions for her {the Mayor's}seat." but also notes the way the Mayor has kept a lid on how business is done at City hall AND that the TV cameras play role in Council power plays.
