Mississauga Mayoral candidate, “The Mississauga Muse” on: MYTHissauga, The UNdemocracy
January 9th, 2010
UPDATE January 12, 3:25 PM
We just discovered that the City of Mississauga had been automatically banned from Mississaugawatch. This was entirely accidental and we apologize for any inconvenience. This blog has software installed that automatically bans any IP that attempts any activity that appears malicious. We emphasize that we do not believe that there was any attempt to break into or sabotage Mississaugawatch. This software isn’t perfect and sometimes makes errors. Unfortunately, we did not detect this problem until today. We have removed the ban but since we don’t know what caused it we can’t be sure it won’t happen again. We will, however, watch more closely for the problem. Thank you for your patience.
UPDATE January 12, 6:17 PM
This is really embarrassing! Until just now we didn’t notice that we’d had the wrong YouTube video up! The Mississauga Muse has just too much going on and is pulled in too many directions…
We now return you to our January 9, 2010 Blog (below)
Yep, I’m getting savvy in the virtual political theatre where I intend to non-campaign.
It appears that to get through to voters (who politicians clearly believe are simpletons) an aspiring candidate must keep messages v….e….r….y s…i…m…p…l…e.
So I’ve figured that the best slogan to battle the Mississauga City Hall “Trust Quality Excellence” people is “SICK OF THE LIES”.
In addition to be brutally honest, “SICK OF THE LIES” has the added advantage of being monosyllabic.
MISSISSAUGAWATCH “SICK OF THE LIES”
Perfect. “SICK OF THE LIES” as a slogan vents almost as much spleen-indignation as “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!“
“SICK OF THE LIES”
So. Here’s video showing what you get when you combine a “Friend of Hazel” with Councillor Nando Iannicca with —a “one-issue” smart ass virtual candidate!

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
VIDEO OPENS WITH THE “FRIENDS OF HAZEL” RALLY
“Friend of Hazel” Betty Merkley speaking (December 2, 2009):
Why? Why would seven Councillors vote for a judicial inquiry after they have already been given the outside legal opinion from a Toronto law firm at a cost to the taxpayers of approximately $46,000? A legal opinion that should have put their concerns to rest.
I still haven’t heard a reasonable response from any of the seven Councillors who voted for this judicial inquiry.

COUNCILLOR NANDO IANNICCA (Acting Mayor October 28, 2009):
And if you don’t mind, as Chair, I would like to speak if someone would so move. Thank you.
I have an obligation to my constituents and I’ll be very very brief but I think Councillor Carmen (Corbasson) hit on the fundamental point that we’re all grappling with. This is not a fun day for us. This is a heart-wrenching decision.
The reason that I was one of the proponents of the Inquiry —the reason I stand by it emphatically needs all of ten seconds to explain.
Number One, I don’t have a crystal ball. I don’t know where this is going.
I do know that minutes have been altered —there some other things have gone on that I cannot explain to my taxpayers and I owe them an explanation.
“Friend of Hazel Betty Merkley speaking (December 2, 2009):
I still haven’t hear a reasonable response from any of the seven Councillors who voted for this judicial inquiry.
COUNCILLOR NANDO IANNICCA (Acting Mayor October 28, 2009):
Point Number Two, the Lady of Justice is blind for a reason. It matters not who she judges over —whether that’s your Mayor, whether that’s my brother, whether that’s the local parish priest. And I have to hold that close to my thoughts as well.
“Friend of Hazel Betty Merkley speaking (December 2, 2009):
I still haven’t heard a reasonable response from any of the seven Councillors who voted for this judicial inquiry.
COUNCILLOR NANDO IANNICCA (Acting Mayor October 28, 2009):
I also have a concern to be brutally candid with you of my understanding of some of the conduct that has been outlined —because, to be brutally candid with you, I would have grave concerns if I lived in a city where a Mayor and [inaudible] members of Council conducted their affairs in a somewhat similar manner.
It’s not a city that I would want to live in. I’ve never conducted my affairs in that manner.
“Friend of Hazel Betty Merkley speaking (December 2, 2009):
I still haven’t heard a reasonable response from any of the seven Councillors who voted for this judicial inquiry.
COUNCILLOR NANDO IANNICCA (Acting Mayor October 28, 2009):
I’m shocked that anyone in the audience or anyone in this city would put the cost of such an exercise ahead of having to ensure you have Integrity and Accountability in your political system.
[Jeers and protests from the audience]
I beg your pardon.
“Friend of Hazel Betty Merkley speaking (December 2, 2009):
I still haven’t heard a reasonable response from any of the seven Councillors who voted for this judicial inquiry.
COUNCILLOR NANDO IANNICCA (Acting Mayor October 28, 2009):
And so to conclude, at the end of the day, I was not elected for my love of the Mayor. I was elected to do the right thing.
This, as difficult as it is on an emotional level —I want you to hear from me directly, from many of you that I’ve known for a long time, on an ethical, moral, and the-right-thing level, this is one of the easiest decisions that I’ve ever had to make though I’ve never regretted a decision more.
“Friend of Hazel Betty Merkley speaking (December 2, 2009):

THE MISSISSAUGA MUSE (MISSISSAUGAWATCH) —filling out City of Mississauga candidacy form:
Nominated for the office of —MAYOR. There it is. Mayor. (giggles) OK, that’s it. I’m done.
ELECTION PROJECT MANAGER PINA MANCUSO:
Do you solemnly swear this information to be true?
THE MISSISSAUGA MUSE (MISSISSAUGAWATCH):
Oh absolutely. OK.
ELECTION PROJECT MANAGER PINA MANCUSO:
You’re all done. Congratulations!
THE MISSISSAUGA MUSE (MISSISSAUGAWATCH):
Thank you.
ELECTION PROJECT MANAGER PINA MANCUSO:
And don’t forget your card.
SPEAKING INTO CAMERA AT FREEDOM OF INFORMATION DESK…
THE MISSISSAUGA MUSE (MISSISSAUGAWATCH):
I guess I’m a one-issue candidate and that is simply, I’m sick of the LIES!

Signed,
The (“SICK OF THE LIES”) Mississauga Muse
Under the spreading chestnut tree. I sold you and you sold me. There lie they, and here lie we. Under the spreading chestnut tree.
