Shattering the MYTH of MYTHissauga: MISSISSAUGA TRUEth #1, “All I wanna say is that They don’t really care about us”
January 19th, 2010
I decided at the last minute not to subject myself to the hypocritical evil empire‘s Downtown21 public presentation inside Big Yellow‘s Council Chambers tonight.
For one thing, I’ve reached a stage in my research where the New is increasingly more difficult to find. Drearily, I find myself documenting more of the Same Old Same Old. Besides, I’m now confident that I’ve enough videotape and Freedom of Information documents to confirm what an immoral cesspool of white-collar crime our local governments are.
And something huge happened last Thursday at the Peel Youth Violence Steering Committee meeting —one precious jewel of a comment coming from none other than Mississauga Councillor Katie Mahoney. A statistician from the Peel District School Board presented a document Elementary and Secondary School “Social Risk Index”.
The name of the Peel elementary school with the highest Social Risk Index would come as no surprise to anyone who had attended the April 15, 2009 public meeting regarding the possible closing of the Sheridan Library.
What followed was a brief discussion and reminder that while this school came out as topping the elementary Social Risk Index, it was actually situated in one of the richest, most prestigious neighbourhoods in Mississauga (Ward 8).
It was then that Councillor Mahoney revealed that the residents in the surrounding neighbourhood had essentially abandoned the school, preferring to send their kids to private schools. (We’ve all heard of white-flight, this is $$$$$-flight.) Sad as this was, I have to admit that I was hugely-satisfied with the revelation. After all, I’ve frequently referred to the entrenched elite of MYTHissauga who actually run this city. As in run-run.
Councillor Mahoney’s comment also blows a major hole in the MYTH about Mississauga being a “caring community”. To be brutally frank, there’s very little evidence of caring, tragically-little. Just like there’s insultingly-little evidence of “superior services”¹ —and zero evidence of ethics at Mississauga City Hall.

Kids shouting: All I wanna say is that They don’t really care about us,
Enough is enough of this garbage!
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
HAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaagggghhh
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
(VOICE OVER: Mississauga Councillor Nando Iannicca December 12, 2006)
“One of the great blessings that we have in municipal governance is that few people vote.”
HAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaagggghhh
