Agreed. But far far worse than the generic "Mississauga" is "MYTHissauga" --which is the Myth that was masterfully spun around Hazel McCallion and the mythical "Trust, Quality, Excellence" of the "Best City in Canada". Really. I've been researching through Freedom of Information for almost...

Currently I'm researching municipal security operations through Freedom of Information. It's been quite the eye-opener. What's interesting about this incident and how serious an assault charge is. That's why I find it completely UNFATHOMABLE that the bus video footage would be erased. Fact...

Hi Tuscan, I don't read Hume's second article as a flip-flop. He's quite consistent actually. About Mississauga not being a city but rather a way for Sprawl to map itself. And I've been filing Freedom of Information on Mississauga municipal governance now since January 2006 (over $2,100...

While I agree with you about what you say, you are WRONG about McCallion. She IS Above the Rules. She truly is.

Have to laugh because sometimes Councillors are forced to deal with noise walls or regular walls and have to talk about decisions made regarding developers. And of course they'd just love to blame the Council of 20 years ago but that'd nail McCallion so they avoid it. As for you writing...

What the heck do 85% of Mississaugans know about Mississauga or its politics? Doesn't stop them from voting with their wallets.

WHOA! You're one of the few who knows what's going on. And you're right about the video. 'cuz I've got it too. As for you writing, "I am amazed that the media does not care." I'm not. Those spitzbooben built her up! What? They're now going to admit they were wrong?... (Oh to get the...

Hi there syn and thanks for the kind words. Actually the media's had tons of opportunity to deal with issues that I raise. I mean I even go up and give deputations at Council now. They don't report on me. And when they interview people for opinions, they bend themselves into pretzels...

HAZELGATE and the (no surprise) DOCTORED MINUTES Found my way here Googling and thought I'd reply. As people know I've been researching City of Mississauga municipal governance through Freedom of Information since January 2007. In addition I've attended Audit, Budget, Council and...

Referee needed to sort out critic's complaints In his latest dispute with the municipality, four-time mayoralty candidate, Donald Barber has councillors collectively scratching their heads. By: John Stewart May 29, 2008 12:34 PM - The constant complaining of a controversial...

Mississauga "mulling"?! There's ONLY one legitimate response. Hey again, Hydrogen and thanks for e encouragement. I'm going to share an article in the National Post about Mississauga activist, Donald Barber and in the next message, what The Mississauga News had to say. Just know this...

Hey there, Hydrogen, To be fair, it isn't just Mississauga. The Province simply did not see fit to add any provision into the 2001 Municipal Act that required municipalities to have a public complaints process. To Mississauga's credit, they admitted it and actually showed where to lay...

Hi there, Hydrogen. Huge apologizes for not responding sooner. I've simply been too busy researching that I haven't had much time for Urban. To answer your question, no, Harper's preference to keep citiizens in the dark hasn't affected my efforts. I do know why he's so terrified of...

Hey there, Hydrogen. Just droppin' by before I head out to today's Mississauga Council General Committee meeting. Been away to Newfoundland for a few days. Began to get interested in graffiti of all things. Like this. This one's got me the most intrigued. I even shot video of it...
