| Hazel McCallion (known affectionately as “Hurricane Hazel”) is the 88 year old mayor of the City of Mississauga (6th largest city in Canada, located just West of Toronto). Mayor McCallion says her secret to being successful in the last 11 elections is simple: “you have to look after your people, keep taxes down and bring in lots of jobs.” She has held office 31 years and has outlasted the last 8 Canadian Prime Ministers! The city is debt free with a $700 million surplus; not bad in this, the worst recession since the great depression. She was formerly a professional female hockey player and still dons the skates.
