I have heard recently that it is debt free.
Since I first moved to Ontario in 1980, Mississauga has gone from a medium size city of about 270,000 to the current size of 704,000 (as listed on city signs). It is interesting to note that if you combine Mississauga and its northern neighbouring city of Brampton it has a population similar to Calgary. However both of these cities are closely economically tied to Toronto. Hazel McCallion is 89 years old now, is still Mayor of Mississauga and is highly respected throughout the GTA and Canada. Interestingly, she doesn't seem to be against developers and tall buildings.
