DirtyDawg Posted January 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Former Mayor of Mississauga, Hazel McCallion passed away this morning. Residents of Heaven, hang on tight, there's a Hurricane coming your way! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/hazel-mccallion-dead-at-101-1.6730009 Yes, this has nothing to do with cruising and I don't even live in Mississauga. But we live close by and Mrs. Dawg and i have been honoured to have met Hazel on many occasions over the years. "Think like a man, act like a lady and work like a dog." She was a great Lady - yes with a capital L. Edited January 29, 2023 by DirtyDawg 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookbabe Posted January 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2023 One of the articles I was reading talked about her life pre-politics, and I learned she was a professional hockey player in her youth. I am not surprised. She really was a force to be reckoned with, and a very admirable lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think her pre-politics career gave her the skills to get her elbows out (Gordie Howe style) in the male dominated world of politics! 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frteach Posted March 9, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Quite a few of us around still who relate to the mention of Gordie Howe. And then there are the Leaf fans who are still thinking about the great teams we had then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
