Opening comments:  More at the end.

    An oldie but a goldie!

"She sicked the police on me,"
 
"very surprised to see Hazel get the fur up on the back of her neck,"

"She confronted me and said 'what are you doing here? You have no right to be here.'
She, said she'd filed a complaint with the police that we were illegally doing fundraising,"

"questioned by Peel police. ... seemed "embarrassed" by their task,"

"McCallion said she called the police"

"It was a subtle form of intimidation," Ritch said.
"Hazel was using the police to do her dirty work.

    The Mayor of Mississauga, Hazel McCallion - "sicked the police on me,"  & "Hazel was using the police to do her dirty work."  Yes, Hazel McCallion does use the Peel police as her own BULLY BOYS and political tool.

    Just in case people mite think I was the only one City of Mississauga politicians call the police on to intimidate those they like or care to service as a part of their job!  This case has some interesting details Hazel is well known for keeping taxes down for people but here she is completely opposed to it - WHY?  The slant of this new article is that it is someone from Toronto who dared to come to the city state of Mississauga to speak his mind & raise money without the permission of the Mayor - such a crime.  Remember that Hazel's name was actually in the finals for the Greatest Living Torontonian contest and yet we can clearly see how hostile she is to Toronto and Torontonians.

    Current events are more interesting when you know the person's histories.  I guess I have made the grade as far as City hall is concerned as they feel the need to have me arrested in their effort to stop an informed person from not only going public with what I know but actively
motivate people to rethink their opinion of the great & powerful Mayor of Mississauga, Hazel McCallion (do not look behind the curtain!).

    Oh yes, I see no record of Mr. Ritch doing any illegal "fundraising".


The Mississauga News - Oct. 14, 1998 - By JOHN STEWART Staff.

Mayor objects to 'outsiders'
talking tax to local business

A Toronto man trying to organize a local campaign by small businesses against current value assessment says he was "confronted" by Mayor Hazel McCallion in Streetsville Friday.

"She sicked the police on me," Dale Ritch of Tax Freeze '98 says. McCallion doesn't see it the same way as Ritch.  She says she talked to Ritch in a Main St. travel agency to ask him why he publicized a public meeting sponsored by his group last night by creating the erroneous impression that she and Peel Chair Emil Kolb might attend.

McCallion was upset that a notice for the "Mississauga Small Business Survival Meeting" noted that she and Kolb had been invited.  McCallion turned down the invitation for a couple of reasons.

She was also angry Vic Johnston Arena had been booked for the session a couple of weeks before she received a faxed invitation.  She also doesn't like Toronto-based organizations coming into Mississauga to organize community sessions and raise funds.

"I was very surprised to see Hazel get the fur up on the back of her neck," says Ritch, who says his non-profit, low-budget group was organized in February when current value assessment hit Toronto hard.  The group organized street marches and helped persuade the Ontario government to bring in tax caps for businesses there.

Ritch acknowledges in retrospect that, "maybe we should have phoned her" to issue a more personal invitation to the session.  But faxed invitations have been sent to many politicians as the group organizes across the GTA.

"She confronted me and said 'what are you doing here? You have no right to be here.'  She, said she'd filed a complaint with the police that we were illegally doing fundraising," Ritch says.

He was particularly upset that he was questioned by Peel police.  They were extremely polite and understanding and seemed "embarrassed" by their task, he suggested.

"It was a subtle form of intimidation," Ritch said.  "Hazel was using the police to do her dirty work.

McCallion said she called the police to clarify whether a Toronto group could do fundraising here using a Toronto address.
