Crombie’s Mississauga-alone plan draws big crowd Monday

This CityNews report tells of a full meeting in Mississauga Monday night to discuss possible separation of that City from other municipalities in Peel Region. It is by any measure a bold proposition from Mayor Bonnie Crombie. It flies in the face of 40 years of enforced regional government inspired originally by the Bill Davis Conservatives. Many places might be eager to leave such regional governments. Towns near Hamilton famously said the only thing they got out of amalgamation was higher taxes.
