Mayoral Races in Canada
and this one from Mississauga...
Mayor Hazel McCallion has announced her decision to seek a 12th "and final" term at age 89, which will mean she will be pushing 94 if she remains in office for four more years, having first been elected by defeating an incumbent in 1978 in the suburban enclave west of Toronto. While credited with fostering the city's growth, McCallion's political career faced its first serious speed bump this year as revelations of her son's involvement in a new $1.5 billion hotel/convention centre and condominium complex became the subject of an ongoing judicial inquiry regarding whether the mayor influenced a $14.4 million land deal benefiting Peter McCallion. Carolyn Parrish, a former federal cabinet minister elected to council in 2006, must wait her turn to succeed her political nemesis "Hurricane" Hazel".
