Premier Doug Ford remembers his friend and mentor Hazel McCallionAt the request of the family, I announce with a heavy heart, the passing of my dear friend and mentor, Hazel McCallion. Hard pass. Not to speak ill of the dead; but, in the 1990’s, when she was the mayor of Mississauga (and Doug may have still been selling hashish) and I was working with a real estate developer, I had several interactions with Hazel and I know and witnessed her corruption. Who cares.

She reslly showed her leadership in 1979. Hazel would hate Ford and his thugs for attacking Ontarians. Hazel and all decent Canadians would agree with David Frum. 'We're really screwing Ontario, arent we Hazel. We will be soooo rich.'
