This is a bit that appear on the Canadian show The Rick Mercer Report (RMR), a popular show that often has politicians appear on it.

This episode featured Mississauga, Ontario, mayor Hazel McCallion, an 88-year-old who has served 11 consecutive terms.

She's pretty awesome...have a look.

That story made me smile. She seems well-liked from what I can tell.

Haha, she got hit by a truck, and got back up, and the truck had to get repairs!

She's some lady!

Chicago? Hell I want her on Capitol Hill.

700 million dollar surplus for a city, and many USA states are carrying deficits in the billions. . Not bad.
