FULL STATEMENT: Premier Doug Ford remembers his friend and mentor Hazel McCallion

Hazel passed away peacefully at her home in Mississauga early this morning at the incredible age of 101.

There isn’t a single person who met Hazel who didn’t leave in awe of her force of personality. I count myself incredibly lucky to have called Hazel my friend over these past many years. As I entered the world of politics, I was fortunate enough to learn from her wisdom and guidance, which she selflessly offered until the very end.

And I will remember her last act in approving the destruction of our greenbelt.

She has a Legacy, what will be your's Doug-selling hash?

Just remember..no one is really remembered for what they did...but for how they treated people. And Mccallion was no sweet old lady. Such hypocritical political bullshit statements.

She loved the Greenbelt.

Are we removing this person or?

Oh look, it's two very corrupt politicians. Well, one now.

'She was a great lady, Mayor, and most importantly, a friend and mentor. In fact, she told me the we should develop the Greenbelt.'

From the heart or a teleprompter? I won't waste my time watching Ford.

After 100 years she wasn’t smart enough to keep the greenbelt. Useless politician!

I also remember how Ford tainted her legacy….

Liberals have no class. They can't even show respect on the day someone's life ended.

So many ignorant losers on this thread. A great leader has died and all you can do is hate. 😎😎😎

She was an amazing lady. May her soul Rest in peace

A role model in community service. RiP

Any updates on the accident on Williams parkway and Kennedy? I’m ur car that crashed into the pole around 3am.. Road is still closed off.

She did a lot for Mississauga, for women in politics, but in her deathbed supported fordo greenbelt destruction. Shame.

Now we have some councils putting in bike lanes and LRTs which will take 10 years to finish and never be used
