McCallion was widely respected by other politicians, even many of those with whom she did not mince words, and was even more revered by constituents, who voted her into office with landslide victories for 12 successive terms.
She garnered more than 90% of the mayoral vote several terms in a row despite not campaigning for decades, instead asking those who wanted to make a donation to her campaign to give the money to a charity or a cultural fund. McCallion ultimately decided to bow out at age 93, leaving the mayor’s office 36 years after she was first elected. On her 80th birthday she attributed “toughness” from her rural upbringing in the Gaspe, Quebec, region to her longevity and political success.Back when she was still a rookie mayor, McCallion cemented her hard-working reputation injuring her ankle while helping evacuate 200,000 residents from their homes after a train derailed and leaked chlorine gas.
A former professional women’s hockey player in Montreal in the 1930s, McCallion was known to keep a pair of skates and a hockey stick in the trunk of her car in case of a pick-up game.
Trudy is trying to slip that poor woman the tongue

A legend.
Doesn't the have a stylebook with their name on it? It's '90s.'
Is that prime minister Justin Trudeau? She must have respected him enough to follow his advice.
Never stop working. Even if said work is volunteering. Find a way to contribute to the lives of others more often than not and you’ll more likely live long than not. ❤️
Were 'the Canadians' sad?
