Martin Reid figures that he has been waiting for about 25 years to run for a seat on Mississauga City Council.
A lifelong resident of Meadowvale, Reid has long harboured ambitions of one day becoming the community’s voice on council.
It’s an example of how hard it can be for new voices to get elected at the municipal level, where incumbents enjoy huge advantages that are sometimes even passed on to the next generation. For his part Reid said that the challenge of running against a McCallion in a city where the legacy of “Hurricane Hazel” still looms large hasn’t changed his approach to the campaign.
And to the north in Humber River-Black Creek, TDSB Trustee Christopher Mammoliti is currently running to reclaim the ward that his dad Giorgio was defeated in four years ago. But he said that it does create an “uneven playing field,” especially at the municipal level “where there are no political parties to make your assessment by and only names that might as well have been plucked out of a telephone book.”A NEW MAMMOLITI IN HUMBER RIVER-BLACK CREEK?
