Miracle Mayor McCallion, age 90, of Mississauga, Canada

De BISAWiki

Though her administration has been mostly scandal free, Hazel

has been the subject of some controversy a couple times in her mayoral

stint. Recently (2010), she has been

accused of backroom negotiations in a condominium and four-star hotel

development project in which her own son stood to make millions of dollars out

of the deal. But her populace has so

much faith in her that she still won reelection in the fall of the same year by

a landslide. The results of the inquiry are due in June 2011.

Hazel never had the opportunity to go to college. After high school, she went to business

secretarial school. Before entering

politics in 1967, Hazel worked for an engineering and contracting firm for 19

years. After deciding to leave that

position, she served as a member and chairman of the Streetsville planning

board, and later as Streetsville deputy mayor and mayor before becoming mayor

of Mississauga. Streetsville was one of

the small towns that <a href="http://burmistrzem.com.pl>burmistrzem.com.pl</a>eventually merged to form Mississauga.

The media’s descriptions of her include comparisons with

Margaret Thatcher’s style of leadership and the nickname of “Hurricane Hazel.”

The nickname derives from her well-known spine of steel and tremendous stamina,

the latter of which is the envy of many 20-something-year-olds.

She has also has many qualities which endear her to her

constituents, particularly her common touch. Mississaugans believe that Hazel will be mayor until

she is either invalid or in the grave.  Two years ago it might have been all over when Hazel was hit by a truck and knocked to the ground.  However, she got up without injury and the truck had to be repaired!

This dear little lady (she stands barely five feet tall) makes

U. S. politicians seems like “children” in comparison. They could stand to pay some attention to her

methodology and accomplishments.
