Hey, Canadians on JL--can we import this woman to the US? If this interview is true, she needs to teach a lot of mayors, governors, (and presidents) how to lead!
She's undoubtedly a smart, capable, remarkable woman but I
very much doubt that she entered a miserable situation and did it all on her own.
Unless I'm seriously mistaken, it also took a concerned electorate in a situation which did NOT have lots of strongly polarized factions with money to spend and influence to get their way at the expense of everyone else (i.e., who weren't believers in
'what's best for us is what will be best for our community').
So it's not
only the smarts and other characteristics of this mayor but ALSO the situation that allows those attributes to grow and flourish.
Many Canadians would agree with you, especially residents of Mississauga!
