Here are three captures from the Canadian Sportfishing video of Hazel McCallion working to land a 17-pound salmon during the Great Ontario Salmon Derby on Lake Ontario near the Credit River a few days ago. The story is told by all that Mayor Ford saved the 92-year-old Mrs McCallion from being thrown into the lake as the salmon struggled to escape. On the video, which may be seen in the column at the left or on YouTube, the Mississauga mayor is buffeted about as Mr. Ford grips her in a bear hug and anchors the fish landing with his weight. At the left, a look of fierce determination burns in the face of Mrs. McCallion (this is not unknown). Centre, she gets a peek at her pending catch in the water and then begins to reel it in furiously. Right, having offered Mr. Ford a loud “Thank you Rob” she receives a peck on the cheek from the Toronto chief magistrate. They say the Chinook was very tasty.
