BADASS WOMAN! She has by-far been so motivational to me. I would love to meet her in person. She retired recently and Bonnie Crombie took her place, big shoes to fill eh? HAZEL will always be one of the best mayors in the GTA!
I lived in Mississauga for 12 years and I have always had tremendous respect for this lady. I also agree that she would have been a great Prime Minister. Thank you Hazel.
Met her a few times, she's absolutely amazing. She's so passionate, and a lovely person to talk to. So sad to see her retiring soon, but it's been an amazing 30 something years! Love you hazel!
She's amazing!! She was at an opening for a new commercial building I was working on and she gave a wonderful little speech, cracking jokes, schmoozing. She really is unstoppable. I hope she lives forever!
Incredible and inspirational! Wow! Yes, I am taking note and getting off my butt to be the best I can be, to be a part of the solution and live up to my highest potential! Amen Hazel!!!
This lady is awesome. Someone to really look up to. God keep her well and as robust as she is now for many, many more years. It would be a real honor to meet her. A real inspiration to many and especially to women everywhere.
What a beautiful tribute...thank you Rick for all the years you gave us such wonderful comedy. Thank you Hazel for your decades of service as mayor. ❤❤❤
All politicians have a lot to learn from this nice lady. And all humans need a good sense of humor, like hers as well. Beautiful human being. Greetings from Mexico too! :)
Outstanding!!! I love her energy. 88 years old and still mayor of 11 consecutive elections, 31 years, pretty amazing accomplishment that I don't think any politician will ever break.
@ adad: but, Mississauga isn't a residential area of Toronto. You mean to say, GTA, which is a metropolitan area, but judging by your lack of knowledge, and your juvenile interests, its no surprise that you're prone to mistakes. Most of the residents of Mississauga are families, and so the 'city' was designed for family oriented living. Its only now getting corporate and capital, and being recognized as a major Canadian city. Mississauga happens to be the largest goods, distribution and transport hub of North America. Thats why so many people are employed and well off in Mississauga, meanwhile folks in Toronto are still robbing each other for food and crack. With regards to landscape, The Emerald Towers and Absolute Towers should give you an indication of where Mississauga's future is headed. Also, if you bought a house in Mississauga 10 years ago for $400K, and your home today is worth the Missisauga average of $750,000 you would certainly not be hating.
I know the difference between GTA and Toronto. But do not take that literally.Are you really comparing Mississauga with Toronto.. Are you nuts?? ..Do not forget the only university of Mississauga is called UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO AT MISSISSAUGA!!!! Say that it is a residential city of Toronto. Yeah that's better. Mississauga prices have gone up. So whats the big deal. House prices also went up in Markhan and Vaughan. Like what is there to do in this city except SQUARE ONE MALL? Give me a reason why it is special. Missisaugan women are old, fat, and ugly. The city is filled with ugly girls from India and Pakistan and people are conservative.
wow now she is an absolute inspiration, how cool is she. I wish we had more leaders like here. She reminds me of my 89 year old mother who still delivers meals on wheels, works at the hospital tuck shop, does all kinds of volunteer work. Here's to our wonderful older generation, they rock!!
Way to go Rick... you too are one of our national treasures. You make me proud to be a Canadian With Gratitude Allan Hunkin Speaker, Writer, Broadcaster
Oh god I love this lady. I met her at a Colts/Majors game, and she was so nice and so sweet. She stayed until everyone who traveled for the game left, and really made the trip worth it. Really cool lady.
Congratulations , very interesting note , the production deserves an applause...but the one that indeed deserves all my respects and admiration is this wonderful woman. Hurricane Hazel she is an example and inspiration of life. Greetings from Mexico
God bless you You Made Mississauga like a dream when I was a kid May you god rest your soul God put people like you as a light in this dark world 🌎 you gave your life to the people
What a gem. God has blessed her with many talents but the best part is she uses them. Politicians in our country have forgotten they went to Washington to serve, and that God had something to do with that too. Remember we are blessed to serve.
This is so inspiring! She's done a great job and still seems to be completely capable of serving as mayor. Her athletic ability and passion for fitness have played a role, no doubt. Wish she was mayor of my city.
Hazel is awesome by the way. I've dealt with her son on occassion and he's a stand up guy. She always makes her way to every possible business opening, cultural event, community event she can. Direct and honest, and sometimes it has got her in trouble with people but most Mississaugans know she's of a different calibre and her heart is in the right place. I am so thankful we got someone like her as a mayor.
This is by far my favorite RMR, not to be eclipsed by the inimitable Jann Arden episodes, but this one is in a class of its own! Well done Mayor Hurricane!
What a great lady and mayor! I like that model of the city she showed. This clip is really a boon to their Chamber of Commerce because it makes me want to visit Mississauga.
I want to be just like Hazel when I get on in years and I sure wish I could go to her college! Many people out here in Kitchener Waterloo and the surrounding areas could learn so very much from Hazel! Way to go girl Hazel! I wish you were my mom! p.s. this should be on David Letterman or Leno! She's a natural and the skates holy doodle!!! Mayor Hazel many of us boomers could never keep up to you-makes me want to move on back there now!! Have a great day!
This is just priceless. I wish my mayor was half as active and bold as this woman, and he is a young guy. Mayors of America, take some lessons from this woman!
Hazel rules one of the few politicains that gets my support. I am very afraid of the day we no longer have such a down to earth politican. "Mayor McCallion has worked with a variety of federal and provincial governments, and has not expressed a consistent party preference, preferring to work with each elected official" That is the type of person that gets my vote to lead our city
I'm a Canadian by Naturalization, when I immigrated to Canada I lived in this wonderful city of Mississauga, I lived in Canada for 6 plus years, I always said, if someone even pays me a $ million to move from Mississauga to another city, I'd refuse it blankly. No other city in Ont. is good enough for me (my opinion) to live in Ont. While in Canada I never wanted to see the Lic. Plate "Mayor 1" on anyone elses car except Hazel's and that is how I still feel. Go Hazel Go, you are the greatest.
Me, Mahendiran J K, from Chennai, India. Love to watch this video. My philosophy towards work is "Work for the society as much and as long as you can, there is no retirement for such service. Only the Almighty decides your retirement Absolutely". Given an opportunity I would love to pay a visit to Mississauga to meet her exclusively!
I wish we had more politicians like her. A good sense of humour, no ideological bullshit, just get things done, look after your people, and bring in lots of jobs. Good job Hazel. Keep it coming.
The coll thing is at 3:52 when they show the model of Mississauga for "The future", this is how Mississauga looks now. This video was uploaded in 2009 and right now it's 2013 so in the past 4 years Mississauga has drastically changed.
Worked the "meeting of the mayors" 5yrs ago. Had all the Canadian majors there, and Hazel was easily the sharpest person in the room. Great Person!
"sharpness". I mean yeah, next to you.
Rest in Paradise, beautiful Hazel❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
@@Evaelyn oh yes, u got me for got tting 2 sepell the w0rd wight. i get it bettterrr?

Hazel is the badass of Canada
Rambo.
LOL the fact that she said "not bad EH" hehe so canadian
Omg so funny 😂😂😂
I'm scared for the future of Mississauga when the next mayor comes to stand
I lived in Mississauga for 12 years and I have always had tremendous respect for this lady. I also agree that she would have been a great Prime Minister. Thank you Hazel.

its funny how right now, there is the worst mayor and best mayor in cities right next to each other.
Doug Ford was great too😅
Madam Hazel run the city like BOSS ! So proud of Her accomplishment...City is great to live...been here 25 years... Respect for our Mayor !
Met her a few times, she's absolutely amazing. She's so passionate, and a lovely person to talk to. So sad to see her retiring soon, but it's been an amazing 30 something years! Love you hazel!
She's amazing!! She was at an opening for a new commercial building I was working on and she gave a wonderful little speech, cracking jokes, schmoozing. She really is unstoppable. I hope she lives forever!
"And 700 million in reserves. Not bad, eh?"
That quote just crushed me.
Incredible and inspirational! Wow! Yes, I am taking note and getting off my butt to be the best I can be, to be a part of the solution and live up to my highest potential!
Amen Hazel!!!
When I move to Canada, now I know what city to go too :) She's awesome! What an inspiration.
there are few good things about Mississauga, Hazel is one of them! I LOVE THIS WOMAN
Like only Rick Mercer can do! RIP Mayor Hazel!♥
This lady is awesome. Someone to really look up to. God keep her well and as robust as she is now for many, many more years. It would be a real honor to meet her. A real inspiration to many and especially to women everywhere.
She’s 100 and still kicking it! Can’t believe she was mayor of a city in her 90’s and she’s still active to this day.
Rest in peace Hazel.
I live in BC. When I saw the news, this was the first thing I remembered.
The world needs a lot more Mayor Hazels.
Hazel is awesome... we need more of her in Canada!!!
I wish Hazel would run against Harper for his position...
Hazel is an amazing testament to the tenacity and courage of the human spirit. I can see why she is so widely admired. What a great lady!
RIP to the hurricane
i've been in Mississauga in 2009 and i love this town! very clean and beautiful...greetings from Romania!
CONGRATS ON THE ELECTION YESTERDAY, HAZEL! You're my Canadian Idol!
What a beautiful tribute...thank you Rick for all the years you gave us such wonderful comedy. Thank you Hazel for your decades of service as mayor. ❤❤❤
Rob Ford: learn something from this woman
Farzana Rahman Unfortunately he cant, he died
Lol dkh
@@voltnshock3259 When he died, I sang "Ding dong the witch is dead"
WOW Hazel . . . what an incredible inspiration. We should all aspire to Hazel's energy and enthusiasm! Loved this video!
Thats soo cool at 3:58 those buildings in the model are built now idk i thought that was cool
I came to this country when I 2 and lived in Mississauga first and never moved ever since. I am 21 years old now and will never leave.
This is an AWESOME story. Nice work Rick !!
Completely uplifting. It brought a smile to my face. Wish we had her here in San Diego, California
So this what sauga feels like in the night time
God bless this lady. To have the energy she does. and stay so current. What an inspiration!
I grew up in streetsville. shes been great. its a shame she stepped down cus her son is a piece of shit and got her into trouble.
RIP Hazel ❤️ Thank you for your service.
best mayor ever

Magnífico ejemplo a seguir. Sobre todo para quienes ya tenemos algunos años encima. ¡Mi admiración para tan linda dama!
Wow, are you people seriously arguing about which city is better?
a breath of fresh air in these dark times....thanks!

Inspired and just in awe of her spirit and energy. Mississauga is sooooooooooooo lucky to have her!
That is so cute! I love Hazel!!! Keep going lady! We need more people like her around!
Very inspirational! Took away my aches and pains. Way to go Hazel!

I can’t help but smile when I see Hazel’s face. What a wonderful woman and absolute amazing work she did for the City of Mississauga. ♥️
I grew up in Toronto and later moved to Mississauga. She truly is a legend and fine example how not only a city should be run, but a country.
Videos like these make me so proud to be canadian
This is so inspiring! She's done a great job and still seems to be completely capable of serving as mayor. Her athletic ability and passion for fitness have played a role, no doubt. Wish she was mayor of my city.

WE ARE DESPERATE!!!!

I love how she doesn't think she's "Queen of the World". She's just nice and friendly. You know, someone you might go to coffee with.
I feel enriched having watched this...thanks again Mr. Mercer
I lived in Oakville for 5 years, and I had no clue you guys had such a great (and cool) mayor!
There needs to be more Mayors like yourself. Keep up the great work.
This is by far my favorite RMR, not to be eclipsed by the inimitable Jann Arden episodes, but this one is in a class of its own! Well done Mayor Hurricane!

Wow, I don't even live in Canada, and this lady is AWESOME!!!
That was GREAT. May she continue doing what she loves and being the wonderful mayor to her city. We're all jealous.
we need more people like her every where.

I love this woman! She should come to Los Angeles. We need her here!
She is awesome. I wish there were more like her. Randy, TLC.
Wow, that is impressive record. Unfortunately politicians like that are no where to find nowadays. Keep up the good work.
Excellent video. Wonderful lady. God bless her. May she be mayor until the Good Lord decides He needs her in heaven!
