The 2006 election results are
in and I came in second.
{deep sigh}
The voters of Mississauga LOST another election
and
failed another political intelligence test.
A few more notes about the outcome of the
2006 Mississauga Mayoralty
Race & election in general.
On this page going lay out a break-down of the
numbers in greater detail
than the City or even the media ever does.
For more about what is really going on in Mississauga - click here.
It has been a hard campaign because of what little money there was
but the numbers speak for themselves.
As I campaigned harder and broader across the City than in the past, the results
are clear.
Despite bring up issues that many did not want to deal with,
I received 5.2 % (of votes cast), or
5,571 votes.
Twice as many votes as the last time ran in 2000
when received 2.81 % (of votes cast), or
2,726 votes.
You have to go back to the results of the 1985 election
(more than 20 years ago),
to find anyone else who pulled in as many votes in a race against McCallion, as
I did.
A BIG
THANK YOU
TO ALL MY SUPPORTERS
&
if you have not already - please send more money -
in debt over this, you know.
The weather was poor, cold, damp, foggy which did not encourage Canadians to
come out to vote - as they should.
One very important point - after being arrested and being thrown in prison,
becoming Hazel McCallion's first political prisoner. This election was
also marred by the Peel police withholding the Byron Osmond painting 1984, that
was to sold for my funding, yet another example of the police being a willing
political weapon for Mississauga's politicians. That this was being
made very public as to the evil being done to me by City hall and therefore by
Hazel McCallion - the fact so many people showed their support for me, by voting
for me, proves Mississaugans knew an injustice had occurred. It may not
have been on the ballot as such but it was being voted on
- tonight was my greatest political victory
(so far!)
and
McCallion's greatest defeat!
It is also worth noting that media, especially the Missing News and the Toronto
Star
(both part of the TorStar group of companies),
panned me and the issues I raised
almost daily
& still the public voted for me, in ever more increasing numbers.
clearly, I have significant public support & on track with
my issues!
Again Hazel McCallion did not gain
the support of the majority of eligible voters and therefore can not be
considered to have the authority of majority rule.
If the Mayor could showed the kind of increase in support as I have in this
election
- then she could claim a true Democratic victory and broad base support.
The Mayor's supporters
viewed this election as a popularity contest and not what it was - time
for the taxpayers/voters to make a business decision regarding the City's
future.
The issues that needed to be addressed were by me but the voters of
Mississauga were a sleep at the switch, not understand political cause & affect.
As a result the issues were not properly
addressed.
The unfairness of the Mayor getting far more media than the candidates,
amounts to her running a campaign. At campaign centered around
That and Ratepayers groups holding meetings where only she was invited,
means a monopoly of that group or meeting - Hazel's way.
If she was a fair sport she would not spoken at these meetings unless the other
candidates could but that is not the kind of role model she is.
Those that do the Mayor's evil deeds will see her election
as approval of her unlawful and immoral methods - how long can I go before more
false charges?

Mission # 1 for Donald Barber
will be to protect the rights and freedoms of taxpayers & residents
from the abuses of government and to
ensure their entitlement to government services in a fair & just fashion.
I am also the write in
candidate.
As Mississauga politicians and Peel police
are very committed to keep me off the political stage,
other efforts could take place to get my name off the ballot
{or otherwise removed},
so Hazel McCallion can win.
If my name is removed from the
ballot for any reason
WRITE MY NAME ON IT as your vote!
City By-law attacks - political harassment of a Mayoralty candidate!
Mississauga
BILLIONS
in
!! DEBT !!
Is this true?
The papers say it is -
"a significant gap between the funds the City has
set aside for the jobs and the expected cost,"
$ 1 BILLION in the next 10 years,
$ 5.8 BILLION in the next 30!
Hazel McCallion loves to tell us the City is debt free and now we find out some
one has not been paying the bills or putting money away for a rainy day.
That would have been the Mayor.
The Theme for this Election is
out with the
OLD Cronies,
OLD Clique,
OLD Corruption
&
in with a
NEW Democracy
and its Liberties,
while being Environmentally Responsible.
The youth candidate in race
for the Mayor's chair is
Donald Barber
at only 50 years old
&
the only candidate not eligible for the OLD AGE PENSION.
Running for office on
a SEGWAY
The
Main reason to Vote for Donald
Barber
Point Form Platform; We should have what all truly world class Cities
have - a subway or mass, rapid rail transit. The
Fact is,
when the plan to extend the Toronto Subway into Mississauga
was KILLED, not only
was her long
The
GREATEST problems that Mississauga is facing;
1).
That
Hazel McCallion will likely
not live to see the end of
her term.
*
This is a million dollar gamble & VOTERS don't even
know why! It is also the greatest reason why we should
not vote for the McCallion cult of personality. As well as, her bad
judgment that has got taxpayers on the
hook in a $ 20 MILLION DOLLAR lawsuit!
2). TRANSIT -
Lack of Transit,
Traffic Jams, Grid-lock
and more & more pollution from cars ruining all our
health, especially the
children! The current Mayor and City Council have admitted that they can't
deal with
the issues and have not in the past. The time has come for new
vision, the best possible solution and one that
will create jobs and hopefully a
new industry we can use to help other Cities out of similar situations of bad
planning.
The media supports my plan!
time Council responsible (or should I say
totally irresponsible), then, (as she was), how can
we trust them to act
any more
responsible now, when in 1995 they effectively declared
WAR on mass transit because their friends in
the business
community wanted the City to spend taxpayers such an
insane thing! The Mayor is only too
happy to
spend taxpayers money on making her business friends happy, no matter the
cost.
* Also needed is all-weather parking at
transit points to make sure that if you come to use transit, you can park.
All-weather platforms for
GO and bus transit points.

a SEGWAY
A ever growing list of the MAJOR
sources of pollution in and around Mississauga.
STOP THE BROWN AIR, IT IS KILLING
US -
ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN
!!!
4). City of Mississauga's Finances - need to be
fully reviewed.
* It has been noted by the
media that
Mississauga
BILLIONS
in DEBT !! They say
there is -
"a
significant gap between the funds the City has set aside for the jobs and
the expected cost,"
$ 1
BILLION in the next 10 years, $ 5.8 BILLION
in the next 30!
5).
To
restore Mississaugans Democratic rights and government accountability,
aimed at restoring the balance of power between the
public & government;
*
End the harassment of the public by City politicians and City staff, aided at
removing taxpayers from
the political process.
* Not to wrongfully use City legal staff to
harass Mississaugans or justify denying City serves for political reasons.
Click here & be the judge.
* Create an Ombudsman to ensure fairness, for equally
of services and accountability.
* Reinstate Mississauga's special
Democratic tradition -
Public Question Period - as it was,
for items NOT items
not on the agenda and not controlled by motion of Council.
*
Not to allow City Councillors to use Council or other public meetings to defame
or slander members
of the public, as they now do.
* Not to allow City staff or Councillors to
use the police as a political weapons to avoid dealing with issues,
community
leader, Union members/organizers or taxpayers.
* To require that ALL presents from the
public, especially those from developers be noted and the
list be available to
the public.
* Require a log of all meetings be kept
with details of items dealt with at meetings involving elected officials and,
to be available to the public.
Government wants to watch over the pubic while it does all it business behind
closed doors, with business - no more, that is not good or open government.
* Require that all major meetings in Council
chambers be recorded and/or video taped so anyone who could not
attend the
meeting, can review it later, for up to 6 months.
* Member of the public who addressed
meetings
in Council chambers be allowed to make corrections to the
minutes in regard to what they
have said.
* That photocopier be made part of the
Clerks counter so the public can makes copies for less than
50 cents a page.
Very useful for Freedom of Information requests.
* Not to refused recognition any Ratepayers group, especially because it is thought they could disagree with
the
City.
* Set down standards for community groups
so they will know how to be organized, so that they will be
recognized.
* To respect those trying to form unions
and not to allow any form of violence, as has been the case in the past.
* To aid Mississaugans who wish protect
their Charter Rights and Freedoms from infringement by the
Peel police or other
levels of government. This would include better
legal clinics in Mississauga and is for
Crime Prevention & Community Safety.
One example of such abuse
is here.
Other examples of why the Peel police need to be rained in.
* To make drivers available for elected
officials so that they can set an example of never driving after drinking.
For too long it has been
an open joke in Mississauga that they attend social functions, are clearly over
the limit,
then drive themselves
home - this must END!
* Protect whistle blowers at City hall.
* Term limits are need to help term
politicians from becoming too corrupt.
6).
Environmental
platform;
*
To create a proper Environmental Committee for Mississauga, that will allow
general members of the public to
sit on it, members
of the public to attend meetings and address it - not held in secret with no minutes.
* A special project for City hall and one
that would help the City of Mississauga to become world
leader in new
building technology
- the mixing of living systems with man built systems. The clock tower is
a eye sore as it is
now, that the media has
referred to as "a sniper tower". The existing
skeleton of steel should be covered with
vines, it is feasible without damaging the integrity of the structure and
be something that could gain
Mississauga international
attention for environmental architecture. Developing ways of being able to do
this
would start a whole new
form of architecture and Mississaugans can be proud to say we were the first.
7).
Arts
& Culture;
*
Not to allow the kind of Arts censorship that happened this year in Port Credit to
the photographer
Byron Osmond.
*
Lack of youth culture sites,
such as venues for concerts. By most accounts
Mississauga is DEAD!
McCallion may like it
that way but ..... build it and they will come - from Toronto, and beyond!
8).
The
Urban Environment;
* End the practice by Developers of putting
up their huge & illegal sandwich signs on street corners,
over the weekends as City staff
are not on duty. I have also been told twice that the Mayor has said not
to
enforce the Sign By-law, this
will be stop! For more about
this - pictures & E-mails.
* I will not allow the return of the City's
plans to log and tree farm city parks and lands in general, throughout
the City. Having
lead the community effort to stop this plan, will make sure it does not raise
from the dead.

Other Candidates in the
2006 Mayor's
race;
It was only in the
last few days of the election that the Mayor presented anything in writing
regarding why she should be reelected. Up to that point, the Mayor' platform (or lack of it) & her only promise
was to try and stay alive.
Why Hazel McCallion is yesterday's Mayor
and will not be able to deal with the kind
of City that Mississauga has become.

What are the issues in the 2006 election?
The
NUMBER 1
issue in the 2006 Mississauga election is ....
{The voters million dollar gamble & they don't even know it!}
Lack of Transit &
Grid-lock!
Can't you just feel your life slipping away as you sit in
traffic jams created by the Queen of Sprawl?
My do-able vision for the future that would get Mississauga out of the transit
disaster the Mayor and her YES Councillors have got us all into, over the
decades.
Click here for one of the letters submitted to government that shows
I have presenting solutions between elections to Mississauga's problems.
!!!!
The media is supporting my transit vision !!!!
The question is why would Hazel
McCallion not support using hydro corridors
for Mississauga's transit?
Maybe the reason can be seen on
......
In or Out of Peel?
How high a price is Hazel McCallion willing to pay?
Dropping power plants like bombs on
Mississauga's communities?
A growing concern - is the future of
Mississauga that of an Air Pollution Slum?
Has Hazel McCallion sold her soul and the heath & welfare of Mississaugans and
their families
to the Province so Mississauga can be separated from the Region of PEEL?
